It is a very good drama, but by faaaaar not one of the best. (Truthfully speaking, lately folks on MDL just throw around the 10s, it is totally misleading.) The best about this drama, is by a long shot, the ACTING. Superb. The male lead and the second female lead were the outstanding stars for me - you could feel their sorrow and mood and they did not overact. And the male lead had a tough part to act, because... ...the freakin' age gap! It made me cringe sometimes. I just couldn't overlook it, no matter how hard I tried. Sure, 19 and around 39 (or: 939) is not a total disaster, but it does come close to being inappropriate, especially since the female lead is written to be extremely teenagery, showing lots of little-girl-aspects. Although the kissing scenes were really great and believable in themselves, the issue with the age just made it awkward to watch. Anyways. The plot, not to forget, was okay, sometimes even really nice. The ending is really emotional and I liked it, because I did not expect it. (It squeezed even two tears out of me, and I am one of those viewers that never cry). The issue here is, that there were sometimes weird jumps between very, very serious topics and total slapstick. It was rather unusual and it made it sometimes difficult to follow the mood. The other thing was that in each episode there were several times that I was outright bored. If you look at it from afar, there was not much plot going on besides the two lead couples circling around each other. Is it a good drama? Yes. Is it a great drama? No.
