Lacking in many ways

Had been excited to watch this drama, expected a really deep dive story where of course in the end there is no "we're happily ever after" but able another side of love that is letting go. For me, the side characters had been who really carried the show. They went with the ridiculous cliche of overbearing, abusive, childish, controlling parents/mothers. It was terribly predictable. The female lead did not really give much emotion to me in regards to the romance but I saw the most emotion from her in regards to her friendships which I appreciated. The love of friendship and the friend who is dying from cancer truly got to me. I absolutely understood where she was coming from, from knowing that her husband was cheating, to still wanting to prepare both her husband and child for when she would not be there. Breaking up in a heartbreaking sense and she wanted her husband to still find love. To still go on. I absolutely appreciated that realistic take on it.

Then the second friend and her adorable relationship, her needing to learn that not everyone will use her and her status. That she needs to mature too, to trust in someone that actually cares about her well-being, and to learn not everything revolves around her. It was a bit embarrassing watching her assume things but she had to learn. They initially "ended" things but came back together again.

Hate to say it but the ML and FL story lacked tremendously, there was no spark between them. Absolutely nothing that made me want to invest. Even though I absolutely adore the ML as an actor his character hardly held much depth. Aside from liking her first and the whole thing with the brother, their storyline just didn't do it for me. I found myself hardly caring about whether the two of them would work through things or not. She spent half the time they were together bringing up when they would break up and how. It could've been written much better and it's a shame that this drama fell short with such an amazing cast.
