Cliche but strong characters and a satisfying conclusion

TBH I almost dropped this in the middle because it was full of pure cliches & the ML was a complete jerk. But, I'm glad I stuck with it because the last 7 episodes or so make up for the fails in this drama.

One thing that did bother me a lot was the constant use of the background music in every scene, most of the time it was way too loud and contrasted with the tone of the scenes. it's like the sound editors said "hey! lets put in this funny music in this scene. I bet it will make the audience laugh out loud LOL" Uh Nope! It was annoying and frustrating when it was hard to hear what the actors were saying RME. It's obvious that the music was added way after the drama was filmed. Another thing that was annoying was how many times the sound went in an episode, I think i counted 5 times in one. Can't believe a production company would sent out a finished project that way but oh well.

Aside from that I think the number of times the ML lost his memory was stupid. The reason given at first to why he loses his memory is kinda dumb but when the writers go into the gist of his trauma, it makes sense. Wish his Mental Trauma would have been explained in earlier episodes because it would have saved me the feeling of wanting to throw things at my computer screen.

That being said though, I thought both the ML & the FL were pretty strong characters they're not stupid and hold their own with the people who try to manipulate them. That made me like them although I was pulling my hair out with the ML in the middle phase XD.

Like I mentioned, the last 7 episodes are strong and are worth sticking with the drama all the way thru. The leads stick together and don't let anything come between them anymore. That was refreshing. I also liked that this is one o the only dramas that goes deep into their relationship with lots of affection and even gives us a glimpse into their happy married life in the finale. I also enjoyed that the supprting couples got their HEA too and we also got to see a glimpse into their lives too.

All of the cast was good, and the protagonists had good chemistry together. As for the soundtrack it's 50-50 I did enjoy some of the songs although the background instrumentals were mostly annoying af.

As for rewatch value I think I'll mostly rewatch the cuteness of the last two episodes and maybe go back to the previous 5 eps too.

Overall I give this an 8.0. It is enjoyable if some of the major faults can be overlooked.
