Heavy unrequited story

This story depicts multiple females having unrequited love for men starting from high school carrying into adulthood. One sided love occurs for many of us at some point in our lives but this show depicts the worst sides of unrequited love. My own personal preference is shows that have strong female leads and that was not the case here for the lead or supporting female actors. They played their roles well but the characters were ultra annoying in their clinginess and whining. The female lead spent years in an unrequited love and then lied repeatedly when she finally gets to spend time with that person then was a selfish snob when that person didn’t trust her and pulled away turning her back on him. It took most of the series to have positive results that were then short lived and an ending that seemed rushed in the last few minutes. I like the male lead I’m just starting my third show with him in it. This show could’ve had a better storyline and ended in 20 ep vs 38. Musical scores were good. If you like unrequited love this may be a good show for you. So-so for me the first time and not on my watch list.

Enjoyable romance without heavy drama

After watching over 100 Asian dramas in the past year, this one was very enjoyable and something I will put on my re-watch list. Although somewhat predictable in certain aspects, my favorite part was watching the main couple evolve and get closer thru the series. Their relationship was tested many times but not with the drama you see in some shows where couples are torn apart repeatedly and get back together. This couple worked thru the challenges each one strengthening their bond. It’s rare to see a show represent a couple that has faith in each other, communicates fairly well with each other and faces obstacles together. Too often it’s the opposite, I’m impressed with the writing team for this approach and wish more writers would use this style. A strong couple can endure many things and life is heavy enough who wants to watch all the misery some shows put couples through.

From a romance perspective it sometimes seemed as though the second couple had more kissing scenes than the leads but the leads did have many touching scenes. I would’ve like to see his male employee and the girl that initially had a crush on the lead have a more evolved romance, but they kept the storyline focus from being too wide spread which was good.

I enjoyed the music and some of the scenery was very beautiful. Hats off to the writing team and cast for a job well done. I recommend this series for others to watch.

Adorable worth the watch!

This series is a light hearted romance that makes you count down the days until the next episode is available. While some go on for too long and become repetitive or lacking storylines, so far I’m going to be disappointed when this one ends in only 12 episodes.

Ahn Hyo Seop and Kim Min Gue are super cute in the male lead / best friend sidekick. I’m invested in both of their romances, sweet with a side of humor. Of course combined they fall for the female lead and her best friend predictable but still very fun. The grandpa is hilarious in this webtoon that has rich guy trying to marry off his grandson and a rich boy falling in love with an average girl. It’s been hilarious to see the craziness of how they met and watching how their feelings evolve.

This will be on my re-watch list, I find myself wanting to watch the prior episodes already while I’m waiting for the next ones to be released. I’m nearing 110 Asian dramas and rate this one a must see.
