That's what you call a typical cliché drama, but made successfully

I was looking for a cliché older kdrama, with predictable nonsense plottwists, but lovable characters and a heartful story. Well, I got what I wanted.
We've got the rich ML, the humble nice and invisible FL, the time-skip (I'm kind of a sucker for time skips), the amnesia part, and the happy ending.

I remember watching the chinese version of this story a few years back and lowkey wishing I started with the korean one. It was a given that the korean one is going to better (I haven't seen the taiwanese one yet, but hopefully will soon). And of course, it is way better. The acting performance wasn't necessarily outstanding, but still really good. Without a doubt Jang Hyuk carried the show like the boss. Even though his hair was hideous the first half of the show (and even worse somewhere towards the middle, thank god they gave him another hairstyle...) he won my heart with the last half of the show... A very fine aged wine indeed. My favourite part about this whole show probably, was Mi Yeong's mom and her relationship with Geon and also her relationship with Mi Yeong. It was absolutely adorable and heartwarming. Jang NaRa got the best moms in her dramas, I swear.
All of the lovey dovey moment were so cute, innocent cliché and too sweet to be true. To be honest, the show got better the farther it went. The last half was such a delight, so satisfying and fun to watch. I mean we got Jang Hyuk in a good hairstyle, we got the "mother-son" moments, a strong-girl comeback, extremely fun and awkward moment, the little bromance between Mr. Tak, Yong and Geon. They even gave the ending a WHOLE ass episode. Didn't feel rushed at all, maybe even a bit too much, but it was nice to see everything wrap up nicely.

All in all, my little pink cliché romance heart is very content and I definitely don't regret watching this show!
