watching a 2016 drama in 2021?

The drama was pretty good and it was really sweet. I enjoyed watching it but I have some things I have to say about it.

Pros:
- The storyline is good.
I will have to say that it's pretty basic, but it still feels like a breath of fresh air. You could say it's like watching a classic, that kinda vibe.
- The music is a bop
The music was really good and it matched the drama well. It was catchy and whenever it played I would always sing along because that's how much I liked it.
- The casting was good
The casting just felt right, ye know? There isn't anyone where I thought another actor/actress would be more suitable.
- It's easy to develop a favourite character
This is an important point for me, because I live for my favourite characters. All of the characters are unique and different, so it's easy to really like them. As for me, I really like Kang Seo Woo and Kang Hyun Min. Agh, they're so precious.
- It doesn't get boring.
I didn't think any of the episodes were boring at all. I recently dropped a drama, and this show helped me get back into bingeing kdramas.

Cons:
- It is an older drama.
Honestly, this is the only "old style" drama I finished. The quality isn't like the newer ones and it bothered me a little. Although it's from the same year as Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, the quality is so much worse lmao. There's also a ton of flashbacks/the same flashbacks, since that was the style back in the day. In general, it was just more dramatic than the newer dramas.
- I didn't really like the main character.
Eun Ha Won is just so different from me. Idk she didn't irritate me and the actress played the role well, I just didn't like the character. Obviously her being the main character, she held most of the story line.
- The "Fourth Knight".
I assume Lee Yoon Sung was the fourth knight, but it was really unclear and I was confused for like the first half of the drama. Idk maybe I'm just dumb. I also didn't think that his character was all that important and that he didn't have to be a main character.
- My favs didn't have much screen time.
Hyun Min had a lot of screen time at the beginning of the drama, but as the show continued, he got less and less and it made me sad T_T. As for Seo Woo, he literally didn't get any major storyline and he is barely in each episode. His role is more of a support role if anything.

In general, I wouldn't recommend you to watch this drama, but if you've watched all the popular ones these days and you're bored, go ahead and watch it.
