This was a solid show, it went on smoothly and wrapped up nicely. All side characters had their own places and were interesting enough to not make me hate them. The story moved on without any letdowns and it wasn't draggy. Though towards the end both second leads started pissing me off because they stopped acting human and turned into generic Korean second leads, they became annoying, boring and predictable. More than anything I'd say this show was enjoyable. It wasn't that funny, didn't make me laugh out loud much but it wasn't sad or boring either. There were lots of cute and sweet moments but I wish there would have been more! More of Joo Sang Wook's cuteness. He was so damn good in this! So even despite all the romance I felt like there were not enough sparks between Ae Ra and Jung Woo. What tickled me off were constant flashback about same exact scenes almost in every episode. I think I memorized all those freaking flashbacks by heart. Another thing, even though the drama concentrated on the main leads great deal their pasts weren't introduced that well. For example what about Jung Woo's mother and sister at the end??? Despite hooking me pretty well this drama lacked something, I can't quite point my finger at that something though. Maybe the lack of sparks or romantic scenes? I also didn't quite understand why this drama was about a divorced couple? Well, that's something different from CEO and ordinary woman love stories but still... Because the reasons for the divorce were pretty messy and sounded like the writer had forced them out of his dull imagination. Ae Ra was pretty much a biach for leaving Jung Woo like that and he was pretty much an asshole when he came back rich and successful. When young she was only after money and he was a loser so I am not sure why they even got together in the first place, since she could have gotten anyone. Also why is it always the guy getting all rich and famous? Anyway, this drama can teach you something about married life, like what mistakes not to make. The couple should always talk things out. But yeah, I am still not convinced about the reasons to make this a 'divorced couple gets back together' drama (other than telling people that they should never divorce, in other words forcing all that old fashioned morale on the viewers). This could have been more fun if they had different past, only dating or something like that.
