You will like it if you are new to k-dramas
Intro:Don't hate on me for not falling in love with this drama as most people have. It is my personal opinion and does not have to be the same with all.
What I didn't like:
I think in the story Captain Ri had multiple opportunities to send Seri back to South Korea and at some point, it felt like they didn't only because they wanted to drag the story on longer. Also, I think though Captain Ri was one of the main characters whose role was that of a North Korean soldier, he didn't do justice to the role. For some reason, he seemed the least North Korean in terms of accent and acting there.
What I liked :
I loved the acting of Seri and the other North Korean soldiers, they did a phenomenal job. I also really liked the OSTs of this drama. Through the drama I think many people were educated about life in North Korea, so kudos to that.
Rewatch value :
I think it is one of those cliche drams you could watch over and over. I was not especially moved by it the first time I watched it because I have seen many K-dramas and this did not spark any special interest in me. But I do have to say I rewatched some cute scenes especially those of the second leads.
Overall remarks/ Outro :
If you are new to the k-drama world and are watching something like this for the first time. I recommend you watch it with an open mind and then liking it or not is up to you. But you will mostly fall into this k-drama black hole 😅😉. If you are a drama addict like me, then it is up to your preference I guess. If you love cliche and cute love stories with a lot of melodrama..This is totally something you should be watching.

I think the drama had an abrupt ending. Maybe the story in incomplete. If it is so I hope that they make a season 2 of it. I heard that this is a remake of a book. I've not yet read that book and I'm not sure if even in the story in the book ends in such a way.
The second lead and the assistants of the first lead also acted really well.
Xu Jia Mu's mother also played her role really well...I guess many people must be batting her after seeing this drama

Great acting and intertwined stories
Intro :I genuinely liked this drama and binge-watched it in a day. I think the reason I like Japanese dramas more than Korean is that the story is not unnecessarily dragged and expresses so much story, emotion and whatnot in less than 15 episodes (mostly).
What I did not like :
I think at the starting of the story the FL lacked individuality because everything she was doing was to gain the attention and love of the ML and hence lacked purpose /reason for being a nurse.
What I liked :
The stories of so many characters are expressed through one drama. In most dramas, it is usually just the main lean and second lead's story that is highlighted. But here even the other characters had strong stories, and some even brought tears to my eyes.
Rewatch value:
I think it is surely something I see myself rewatching later because there are many cute scenes in the drama and it is not very long too.
Outro:
If you are new to J-dramas and wondering if you should watch it... I would say go for it
