Wasted opportunity...

I get why everyone is so upset with the show and how it all turned out but I still think that there are things that should be appreciated and people seem to miss that fact... (So I really felt the urge to write a review for the first time)

I watched this show in a marathon yesterday and I didn't get bored. That for me means that the story is catchy and that itself is a great thing in kdrama. I personally loved the atmosphere, cherry blossoms, red and yellow ... the scenery, and the work with a camera made the drama look like a high-quality drama. It is overall darker than season 1 but I honestly didn't mind that much.
So now the highlights in the cast. Many people were disappointed that Hye Yong didn't get enough screen time, well he got more than what I expected in the second season! So if you are team Hye Yong you should watch it. I honestly fell in love with Jung Ga Rams acting and I will be waiting to see him again in another drama. The next character that grew on me is Gul Mi. I think she made big progress from being a school bitch to a more responsible and appreciatable person.

Another thing that caught my eye is how writers tried to put reality into the story as well, like how people who like each other don't need to stay that way forever, that people can change. Also, I'm glad that they tried to avoid some cliches (- Gul Mi and Dok Gu for example don't end up together like in a fairy tale). There were some wise words that made me think too. The story itself is good.
And the most important thing... Have you ever seen a kdrama in which the second male lead doesn't end up being the second male lead at the end? I have never seen a thing like that and the writers have my respect for that decision because that really blew my mind! I have never expected it to turn that way ... BUT

A the same time (this morning when I got over the fact that my boy won) I realized how messed up this thing is and how they could have done a much better job when they kept us waiting for 2 BLOODY YEARS!

I will keep it short because many reviews basically already said what I had to say.
First thing, I am a Hye Yong stan but for the whole time, I felt so sorry for Sun Oh. They made him look like a wreck. He got only a little screentime, much less than he deserved. Also how he ended up was literary sad, he seemed forced into a relationship that didn't work for already a really long time, and in my opinion, he didn't look happy at all!
The story is a mess. Not only they didn't explain what happened at the end of season 1 it looks like a whole different show. And also what the hell was the thing with Hye Yong's dad I still don't get it and it is not the only one. Jojo looks pathetic and I just can't sympathize with her at all. I really pity her friend at the school. And the last thing WTF was the whole Brian Choi thing and what actually happened to Dok Gu?! These are the main things that really angered me and there is more.

I wrote this review because although this drama is not the best it has its highlights and I honestly quite enjoyed watching it!
I just feel that with what they had they could have done a real masterpiece... This all is just my opinion!!!
