Friendship and Family!
People that gave less than 7 to this kdrama were watching it for the wrong reasons.
Yes this story has romance, but also has so much more than that. Has business, friendship, personal growth... and most importantly is also about family. I think people have to remind themselves that we are in kdramaland, this is not going to be your business focused kdrama, or with the perfect friendship, romance or family story. It's as always, a combination. And in this case a really well executed one. Changing the love partner for the other lead character wouldn't suddenly make this story go from 1 to 10 lol if a story is ever being a 1 for me, in a scale of 10, i will just drop it. I won't wait for a finale to give it 1. There's a lot of kdramas to watch in a lifetime. Please watch smt else then!
With all of this being said, the only thing i would change in this kdrama would be indeed the second male lead romance... But not like everyone else. His character would be PERFECT to fit under a big bro role. Think about it... he was orphan, and his only family became the grandmother. Their story was so beautiful. Wouldnt it be incredibly beautiful if he was helping Dalmi without explaining his intentions but later just ending up being for the grandmother that was more than a mother to him? Well... i know. We are in kdramaland so ofc if a REALLY GOOD second male lead shows up it's either super evil and wants to destroy everything or has to be involved in the romance. No place for brotherly and cute friendships in kdramas.
But that would be it. I agree that love at first sight is used way too often (and i don't even believe it's real) but also being in love with the same person you were when u were 12, also ain't it for me. Puppy and cute first love in comparison with adult love is way too different for me, personaly. I absolutely hate the "meant to be" troop based on past events, so i am glad of how things turned up.
This kdrama has for the first time second leads that i adore as much as the main leads, and i am super happy about that! I am sick and tired of weak and "lets pretend i ever got a chance in this love triangle" male characters that also have no other depth to themseves... they exist to annoy you - only!!! I always end up rolling my eyes at their failed atempts to do anything. But what this writer did by hiring Kim Seon Ho and giving him such a role, is making me super curious about him now. I kinda want to watch a kdrama where he IS the main lead. And for me that is some good work right here.
