Loved it if there weren't secondary characters...

I like this kind of dramas. With flashbacks, different ways of approaching a theme ( the interviews, the thought that everyone could know what the others were saying, etc... Even if some parts of the plot weren't very coherent to me).

I enjoy the relationship between the ML and FL. I know some people use always the thought " if it was me...". But the problem is that everyone is different and I don't judge anyone by their actions. There are always reasons for that.

In this drama I think that there are reasons for the way the ML and FL act. And when we talk about love, specially in a two wonderful months with beach, sand, surf, love and passion I think every stupid gesture is acceptable... At least, for me, even the most reasonable person can't act the same when love.

PLOT - the story makes sense and it is well tie together. The reasons she went to Yangyang, why she behaved like that, etc. The same with him. The relationship between the two, the "breakup", etc
But I think that some things are strange for me. But I am not Asian, I have an occidental way of thinking. That is why, for me, being in love for ages without saying, without kissing, etc makes me wondering how Koreans behave when in love! Or maybe K Dramas don't show what is really happening...

But I can understand how the writers constructed the FL and ML personalities, even if I think they are exaggerated. My BIGGEST PROBLEM is with the supporting cast. I like everyone of them but cannot understand the way the writers portrait their relationships.
Two interesting couples, 4 persons that can't speak with the partner and the breakup reasons seems so wrong. Specially the PE teacher and the writer... And because 3 of them were great friends... Can't a friend give support and some advise? I don't get why the writers didn't close their stories.

What was the purpose of the policeman and the actress?? Another unclosed story?!?!

ACTING - love all of them.

OST - Like some songs and it was well incorporated in the scenes

REWATCH - The main couple yes. I like happy endings and that was one. The others, ALL the others were unhappy and I don't get what was the reason...

I like the interaction of the main couple, of the friendship relation, but only the main couple make some sense. The others... Why they were part of the drama?? Just to support the main story? Don't get it.

Maybe tomorrow I would have writen something completely different ( almost like Monty python's) but the feelings will be the same...

And maybe, if English was my language, I could write a better review.

Summing up...
1 I Like the way they present the drama.
2 liked the main leads romance, if it was for them I would advise to watch it!!
3 didn't like none of the endings of the secondary characters
