Luv the first 8eps & it could’ve been one of my faves this year… i’ll take the HE…

I haven’t been so invested in a K-Drama for a while, n at first this drama was so good that it made me watch it on going while waiting impatiently every week for the next eps to be released… but halfway it just went downhill n it made me so frustrated watching it… i’ll just take the HE…

What I luv:
- The storytelling… every eps has a weather theme where they somehow connect it to relationship subject, n the way it was told is just something i have never seen in any other dramas before… it’s just refreshing that we could see different kinds of relationships n even learn some life lessons in between…
- The main leads… i luv PMY & SK, visually they just look so good together n i like their chems… i’m not a fan of noona with younger guy story, but this one is ok for me… SK has improved in his acting IMO n he suits this character…
- The first 8eps is just so good! We got some adult relationship probs which got solved after 1-2eps max, some weather BTS stories that’s just so interesting to watch n even some romcom sweet moments here n there between the leads…
- The weather forecast people as the background story is something new for me… i don’t know if how they r portrayed in this drama doing their job is accurate, but it’s something really interesting to watch…
- The casts… everybody is doing a good job with their characters…

What i dislike:
- Storywise after 8eps was just a trainwreck… it felt that they changed the writer… it was angst after angst n every week it managed to disappoint me more n more… i kept watching n hoped for a miracle twist so it could go back to the original path, but nope it got worse, so sad n frustrating to watch…
- Plotwise, how they somehow make SML & SFL, the cheaters exes of the leads, redeem themselves n show them as good people… SML cheated on FL after 10years being together n 1month b4 their wedding with SFL where FL caught them on bed in her apt! But guess what, the scumbag n his new wife got a good story n even a very good ending where they r happily married n expecting their kid… this just makes me so mad!
- The lack of screentime our leads together in 1 frame after that 8eps… in some eps they had maybe almost zero screentime together, n even if they do, it’ll be only work related or full of angst n no happy moments… SML&SFL got so much screentime together, n honestly i don’t care about their story… n even the leads got more screentime with their exes compared to with each other… ridiculous, right? ?
- Don’t believe that this is a romcom, it might be slight romcom in the first 8eps, but after that is full melodrama, the depressing kind with lots of misunderstandings throughout the few eps…
- I don’t know how writer thinks that this is what reality is… for example, 2mths after that scandal n SML married SFL, all work in the same office… after some bickerings, somehow the leads r in good terms with their exes… they, esp FL with SML meet up lots of times where they give each other relationship advice to each other while SML keep showing off how much he luv his wife… in the last eps he even bragged to her about how he’s gonna be a father… i’m not saying it’s impossible to be friends with ur ex, but getting advise n confiding in them over n over about ur current relationship after everything the scumbag has done to her only 2months prior to this n now already acting all friendly like nothing bad ever happened between them? Come on writers, what kind of person does that???
- The ML’s dad redemption arc… his dad is the worst, he keeps asking money from him n spends them on gambling, went to his office n embarrassed him in front of everybody, etc… he is the source of all ML’s probs n actually play a big part in the breakup between the leads… n guess what, he got sick n suddenly became a good father out of nowhere… his story is just weird n a bit forced IMO… i just wish they they didn’t have to use this jerk dad plot, it felt like a neverending angst n it felt stuck, esp since in the end they let him redeemed himself in such a cliché…
- The amount of missed potentials the drama has is just stupid… the leads had a secret relationship at the office, did we get fluttering sneaky moments at the office? Nope! the leads lived together with another colleague at some point, did we get cute almost busted scenes at the apt? Nope! FL’s sis is dating the leads’ colleague, did we get a funny awkward doubledate scene? Nope! And the main point, the leads r SK&PMY… can u imagine having them playing in a drama together n missed out on potentially lots of cute romantic scenes all through the drama? It’s just a waste of them! When i think about this i’m just… *sigh

Anyway… like i said before, i enjoyed the first 8eps n it could’ve been one of my faves drama… but yeah unfortunately it became a melodrama with full of angst where the writings n story just went down halfway… however if u ask if i regret watching this? Nope! As frustrated i was, there were still some things i really liked… n why i was so frustrated was because i just had so much expectations after that solid 8eps… at least it has a HE, so there’s that…
