Cute & funny with a dark past

To begin with I wasn't really sure about this drama. With some of the incidents that happened in the first couple episodes, I found it to be a bit ridiculous and over the top. The car scene where Chae Ro-un keeps banging on Eun Hwan-gi's door, and when she chases him to his apartment etc. In these moments I was hoping that the drama wouldn't continue this way. Thankfully it didn't!

When it came to the scene where they are in the toilet cubicles and have a heart to heart is when I felt like it became okay.

The story from the beginning is quite dark and upsetting. I think I might have cried even.

It does get a little repetitive with the flashbacks. I've lost count how many times I've seen Ji-hye on the bed with Ro-un drawing that picture.

I couldn't make up my mind about Kang U-il. The relationship he had with both Ji-hye and his finaceé was weird. For them to get back together at the end was also strange.

10/10 for character development on Hwan-gi's part. I felt like we got to see him grow so much and become more comfortable around other people.

There were so many cute moments that I ate right up! It wasn't the most swoon-worthy drama but it certainly did have sweet and romantic moments.

All of the kiss scenes were exceptional! Especially one of the ones in the final episode where the camera pans around them both.

One part that was really cute was when Ro-un unexpectedly saw Hwan-gi dancing in his apartment. The camera focused in on him when he saw Ro-un and his reaction was priceless!

All of the side characters were interesting and I liked them all. They had a big enough part that didn't stray away from the main characters too much.

Let's talk about the ending. The rain was a little too 'The Notebook' for me, but I was still glad it ended happily. The fact that Hwan-gi danced in front of everyone and declared his love for Ro-un was really sweet, and showed us how far he'd come. However, I would have liked to have seen something bigger or better. I feel like in the end we just had to settle because the writers didn't know how to wrap it up.

The music was great; I don't think I really disliked any of the songs. Each time they played, it was just at the right moment!

I feel like I would re-watch this again some day.
