This drama is the cutest, lightest drama I've watched in a long while. While it is very distinct from Love 020 (which many people compare it to), the feel is very similar even though the story is very different.

What I loved:
- The series grabs you from the get-go (unlike many that drag at the beginning)
- The female lead has an actual brain. And so does the male lead. You don't have to put up with any airheadedness on either side.
- The story is just sweet.
- The characters act like real humans. Nothing seems super overblown (except maybe the parents, but, ya know).

What I didn't love:
- It seems like the writers just forgot about characters as it continued. No explanations, just gone.
- It could have been seriously shorter. Did we REALLY need to watch a dozen swimming competitions? Probs not.
- There were a lot of moments when it felt cheaply made. There were just a few sets, and it was noticeable that they were just trying to make it work with what they had.
- The characters were dubbed, and they definitely didn't kill themselves always making the lips match perfectly, especially with 2 (minor) characters.

Rewatch value:
I would definitely rewatch it, though I might make ample use of the fast forward button during swim meets. :))

Overall, this is a fun, sweet, happy watch. It's the perfect antidote after watching a few heavy dramas in a row!

As others have mentioned, this series took melodrama to a whole new level. At first, I was under the impression that it was going to be more about the couple's relationship, but this is much more of a family melodrama.

The good:
+ The main characters are cute and kind to each other.
+ The side stories are surprisingly interesting.
+ It was a very easy watch. I could imagine it being good if you're home sick for a few days. You can miss a lot and you can still follow the story.

The less-good:
- Nobody's life has that many twists and turns. I lost count of the amount of times we went to the hospital. My word.
- The plot felt so contrived that I found myself just not caring about the main characters like I usually do.
- As soon as you think something good is happening, something crazy happens. I get doing that once or twice, but it was just constant and infuriating.

Overall, I have to say that I did not love this drama. I ended up skipping full scenes just to get to the end. I'm sort of sad I wasted my time on this.
