WATCH IT OR NOT?!!?

This drama was quite the special one to end 2023 and start off the the new year as it was definitely interesting with quite a few interesting characters and how their pasts were intertwined.

The ML and FL are both perfect and the way they acted fit the role perfectly, though the ML was quite a obnoxious character(golden retriever vibes) but when they portrayed him as smart at times made up for it in my opinion. The FL's story was very good and this was my first time watching this actor and I totally loved it! Her acting, her smile and they way she portrayed the character was enjoyable to watch.

Comedy was really just what you expect with jokes here and there and little outbursts trying to be sneaky and all.
The romance in this is not really the main genre tho it shows up at the last few episodes but the way the ML and the FL treat each other at times was romantic in ways especially how the ML behaved which kept it interesting in terms of romance. In terms of comedy it was really just what you expect with jokes here and there and little outbursts trying to be sneaky and all it was in place and enjoyable for me.

Ssireum, this is the first time I've seen this sport in action and it was quite fun to watch and entertaining with the scenes being to the point and not overexaggerated, this drama was definitely focused on the sports aspect as Ssireum was at the heart of it.

Lastly I would say the way the crime aspect and the suspense around it was a bit random and not really that interesting and made it feel like a side character story really but didn't really leave me disappointed as I was more interested in the sports and romance and how the characters developed and how they linked them to their past, and in that aspect the crime was more of a bonding experience for the characters and also a purpose for the FL and some others to come back to the town and revisit their memories.

I loved this drama and its definitely a 10 from me. Its a must watch as it was quite a easy going one. Don't expect any crime really from this as it was short-lived and not very meticulous and was used for more of a character development tool, other than that I loved it, the cherry on top was the ML and the FL for me and their acting was on point which made this show that much more enjoyable.

Well that's it for this short review, hope it was helpful.
