Wow. This was INSANE. As a writer, I cried because it felt so accurate. I felt the pain of having characters who don't want to listen, when it feels like they are acting of their own accord. As a reader, I was feeling ALL THE FEELS because what reader hasn't imagined meeting their fave characters in real life and falling in love??? And as a hopeless romantic, I was completely enthralled by the chemistry and love shared between the leads. It was such a treat to watch! And on top of all of this, it avoided all of my least favorite technical tropes in story-telling and stayed well within the rules they created in the world-building, while also continuing to shock me and break my heart over and over again. I will be watching this one again soon. What an incredible show!!

So good!! I had some minor complaints, but I really loved Dongman's character and Seo Joon's acting. Everyone else was good, too, but he really stood out to me. The characters were very realistic. There were some good funny moments, too, although it's not one that I'd recommend for its humor alone.

My main issues were:
1. Aera was so selfish about Dongman. I wish she would have communicated more and tried to compromise. That's how relationships work. I felt like she didn't even learn that in the end.
2. The two main stories never felt like they overlapped. I wish the best friend group had more substance to it. I felt like I was watching two separate dramas until the very last episode.

However, overall it was a lovely drama and I recommend it!
