This show is easily an 11/10 for me. I finished all 32 episodes in about a week, and it turned into one of those “just one more episode” situations that you don’t really realize you’re stuck in until it’s over. Now that I’ve finished it, I genuinely feel kind of empty in a way I didn’t expect. Everything about it just worked for me. The pacing, how the story is structured, and how scenes connect all feel really smooth and intentional. Visually, it’s also really strong the lighting and overall aesthetic are consistently soft and atmospheric without feeling overdone.

The music deserves a mention too because it really elevated a lot of scenes for me. The OST fits perfectly with the tone of the show and makes emotional moments hit even harder. For me, the music is also a 10/10 it genuinely stayed with me even after episodes ended.

Character-wise, Sang Yan is the standout. He’s easily my favorite part of the show and honestly an 11/10 character on his own. The way he’s written and portrayed just feels very natural, especially in how his emotions come through in small expressions and subtle moments. The romance worked really well for me too. It’s a slow build, but in a way that feels realistic rather than dragged out. Nothing felt rushed, and when emotional moments happened, they actually landed because the foundation was properly built. The main leads also have really strong chemistry, even in quieter scenes.

Not every side storyline fully held my attention (the grandparents’ love story wasn’t really for me), but it didn’t take away from the main focus or enjoyment of the show.

There were also small details and connections throughout that made it feel more layered without being overwhelming, which I appreciated. Now that it’s over, it’s definitely going into my comfort list. I’ll probably rewatch it at some point because I already know it’s one of those shows I’ll miss.
