A different drama, not everyone's cup of tea I guess
I'm writing a review because I really believe the average score is too low - this drama doesn't deserve such a low score, is not fair. I do understand is not everyone's cup of tea, however, it's refreshing and nice to see a different "not so typical" plot. But OMG, what I honestly really loved about this drama is the evolution of each single character. I like the fact that each character, even the supporting ones, have been developed - you will eventually see the reason behind their behaving. In dramas I've barely seen the behind of the characters. If you enjoy (psychological?) dramas where there's a clear evolution of the characters, in which you can actually see and understand why they do certain things, this is definitely THE DRAMA for you.This drama's real plot is not the storyline, but the characters of the drama (the way the behave and the reason behind it - they are human. I really felt a connection with every single character due to their development during the drama (maybe I'm too empathic?). In fact, I would even say that in the end, there are no "evil" characters at all - just people with their own issues, and way of perceiving the world because of their personal circumstances. You will notice that some of them are sociopath or actually have a mental disorder, it's important to address these things as they are, not just as "crazy evil characters". Each of them will have their flawless like all human beings (the ML and FL as well - he does many wrong things but she does as well during their relationship, however they are much more "subtle").
I want to start saying that I didn't give a 10 score because of the last episode. The ending could have been better in many ways - the overall plot is fine, but the ending of the drama... It's too rushed, to abrupt. There are too many things left in the air or that could have been developed more. You can see that during the whole drama they really worked hard on each episode, and suddenly because the n.16 marked the end, they tried to wrap everything up as quick as possible and they rushed all without too much explanations just because it had to end there. I appreciate the fact that there's no "big crazy drama". And if you do see anything over-exaggerated, don't worry, you will have the explanation of such dramatic/exaggerated situation eventually, and everything will make sense (unless you are already in the episode n. 15 or 16 lol).
The acting and cast amazing - I really like the FL, she's very natural. The ML at first I wasn't sure, but he did a great job and to be honest, now I don't picture anyone else playing Jung. Maybe the only bit is that he looked too old for a university student? But to be honest, I couldn't care less! The support actors were amazing as well, specially Inho and Inha and the FL's friends.
The music is fantastic, really cute and easygoing, it goes with the uni environment of the drama.
I would probably rewatch this if bored, and as it's the second time watching it, it would be like an easy thing to watch, just to relax, enjoy and have fun.

Story - I really liked the story. Is not a new plot at all, however, I have to admit that I usually really enjoy this kind of simple romantic stories with no weird/complicated plots that sometimes tend to be too much. In fact, I have read the manga and I think this story is much more better (less complicated and more "real"?). I also liked the fact that the writers made an effort to add medical cases and not focusing only in the main leads story. The only thing I may dislike is the story between the ML's sister and the nurse. It felt incomplete/not well wrapped up.
Cast - I am a Sato Takeru fan and in this drama he was amazing. He really brings to life the ML! Even though he plays a poker-face character, I think he managed to transmit the ML feelings, background, reasons he acts in a certain way, etc. very well. The actress playing the FL also did a good job. She portrays the typical cute lovable FL, however, I do think she did well transmitting her nervousness when the ML was close to her. But definitely Sato Takeru's contribution is what made this drama so enjoyable and hello? Those kisses? OMG I didn't expect that at all (-_-) I think I have just felt in love again.
Music - I had dreams with that song, imagine how much I liked the main song in my subconscious. Plus, what the hell, that song really fitted the majority of the situations!
Rewatch value - I have watched this already 2 times (blame the quarantine), so yes, definitely 10/10.

The story was, honestly, simple but so damn real (especially the relationship between the siblings in the last half part of the movie) and pretty innovative (to me) since this is the first movie that I've seen that deals with that topic. This movie its hilarious (I couldn't stop laughing in the first half part of the movie) and at the same time "dramatic" because it narrates something extremely sad but so actual...
The actors that portrayed the siblings were just amazing. They did an awesome job, I really felt their emotions (I even cried like a baby watching the movie).
The music was pretty good. It really matched the situations and they even made a nod to Yaya's song "Make it happen" (actually, if I'm not wrong, Yaya is the featuring).
I would definitely rewatch this one day (probably forcing my friends to watch it).
