This drama is another that's been on my PTW for quite a while. Having just finished Oh My Baby, I was excited to see Jang Na Ra in another drama. I've actually been aware of Son Ho Jun for a little bit longer; I was a big fan of his performance in The Light in Your Eyes, so maybe try that out if you liked him here.
Over all, I really liked this drama. The casting, acting, and overall story line is great. The writing does drag a bit for me personally. It seems like a lot of Jin Joo and Ban Doo's anger stemmed from miss or lack of communication, which I personally think is too dragged out for 12 episodes. I didn't particularly like the FL character, because she seemed a bit self-centered in regards to the woe is me, we're unhappy aspect. Not only did she drag the 2nd male lead along until the very end (even though we and she knew it wasn't going to be a thing), but in comparison to the male lead who gave up his "First Love" episodes prior, she seems like the more problematic one? Then again, people are innately irrational. Otherwise I enjoyed it. The 90s nostalgia is a bit too early for me to remember but I liked it all the same. OSTs fit the era of the song. I probably won't rewatch because I like their performances better in other dramas.
Also, lmao, I thought Lee Yi Kyung was just going to have long hair for one episode as a gag, but then it never ended. He must have been miserable by the end.
