I was surprised at the surprises!

This webdrama, for the most part, was a very interesting watch. It begged the question - can you ever really move on from a sudden tragedy? It also addressed the paths we take in our lives - decisions aren't made in a vacuum, each thing we chooses changes the trajectory of our lives in some way. In the story, there were some surprising twists that kept my interest piqued.

I loved the friendships, though they weren't delved into as much as I'd like due to the jumping back and forth in time.

I didn't really feel the chemistry between the main characters. Their interactions were cute, but initially it was hard to see their attraction for one another because they were sniping at each other all the time. One kiss that looked totally staged.

The acting was good. I was especially impressed with Hongseok during his emotional scenes.

My main complaint was that the time jumps were so frequent, and they weren't good about differentiating between past and present. It often took me a few seconds to figure out what time they were in, and that took away from my immersion in the story.
