This story is not a romantic story but yet very romantic. Super super romantic :)
You know what, the relationship here is better than many boy/girl relationship you see in other dramas. You remind me of myself when I first stumbled on this drama, but I'm glad that I dived right in :)
Take note kids: this drama is the dictionary definition of "overrated"
Depends on how you look at it. For me, despite its flaws, this drama makes me laugh and cry so much, more than any dramas have done. So I purposely "overrate" it. Of course one shouldn't totally trust the rating because there are no real criteria how one should rate a drama; it's all based on personal liking and emotion. To that end, it seems there are more people who like this drama than those who don't :)
I want to respect other ppl saying it's boring. Personally, I found the first episodes strong. I'm on ep 3 and…
Yes, you said it so right - every sentence, every word they say is so important and viewers have to listen carefully or else we may miss why things happen as they do. This is not a drama of action, so what is happening cannot be conveyed through actions but through words and facial expressions.
Happy drama watching!
