SUCH A HIDDEN GEM!

Now before I get into this review I would like to make it clear that although I finished the series and have given it 8.5/10 overall, I did skip a significant amount of scenes in the middle of it. There is a reason behind why I skipped and why I still gave it such a high rating, but I'll explain that in the review.

I watch kdramas on netflix. So when I saw that one I’d never heard of was coming the following week I just had to check it out. I found the idea behind the kdrama interesting, especially the story behind the two lead characters. As soon as this drama came onto netflix I began to watch it straight away.

The first few episodes had me hooked. I loved how real the characters felt. I immediately connected with the two main leads and I loved watching the story blossom and bloom around them.

However, as the series progressed I found that I was only watching it for the two leads and their story. I realised I wasn’t really fussed about many of the other characters or the overarching story line about building on the site where the crash happened. This is what led to my skipping quite a bit in the middle. I still understood the main story line and the milestones in it still made sense and were just as emotional. I just felt like there were lots of filler scenes (not necessarily episodes) that just didn’t add anything to my experience.

On the other hand, the romance and story surrounding the male and female leads was just beautiful! I was 100% invested in their story the whole way through the series, it was the only thing that stopped me from dropping the series to be honest. Their relationship and how it developed (and its ups and downs) felt so real.

Overall, I recommend watching this drama, but you might find it easier to get through by skipping some parts you find less interesting. I totally recommended watching this just for the leads if you really can’t push through the other parts. <3
