I watched this drama because I really like the main actors. Since I watched it while it was airing, I stuck around despite there being many contrasting points of view for the drama.

The Good:

1. My favorite part of the drama was the relationship between SB and DH's mom. Those parts make my heart warm and also made me tear up sometimes.
2. The acting of all the characters is good and one of the things that made me stick around.
3. Some of the tributes to previous dramas are funny.

The Bad:
1. As everyone's concern, the age gap between the actors made me wish that they had a platonic relationship more than a romantic one. I think I would have been totally okay, even happy if the main leads did not end up together but instead had a sibling sort of relationship.
2. The relationship between the 2FL and the ML was very long and just did not end. Maybe the main leads would have convinced me more if the 2FL and ML had broken up earlier.
3. The gags and side characters. Some of the gags were overdone and made me a bit uncomfortable, ML's parent's relationship, ML's friend, and FL's friend's characters and relationships being a few.
4. The side characters got sidelined by the end.

Overall:
I would most probably not recommend the drama to anyone, but there are some funny scenes. If you are really really bored and want to watch something then you could watch it, but there are plenty of other funnier dramas to watch.

Heartbreakingly Beautiful

After keeping this drama on my Plan to Watch for almost 2 years, I finally got around to watching it after a coworker watched it and could not stop talking about it.
It was exactly what I knew it would be, the reason it was in my plan to watch for 2 years, heartbreaking.
Each and every character in the drama had so much pain inside them.
Ji An with her past, crippling debt and a world of burden on her young shoulders. The Park family who are going through a difficult due to the unemployment of the 2 sons. Dong Hoon with his lonely life.
The beauty of the series was the way Dong Hoon and Ji An healed as they found some one who understands them. It was impossible to not be invested in all the characters and see them as real people as the story was so realistic.
I could rave on and on about the story but it is best experiencing their story in person.
