This kdrama just entered my favorite's list! i knew it would from a very early stage.
These stories have a way more mature approach, it's not all just fluffly love. All 3 relationships are different and show different points of view. Love that all roles are "main roles", but for that we needed more time with all of them... perhaps a second season or just 5 more episodes.
Even Ji Ho and Se Hee parents gave solid speeches in this kdrama. Feels like you have something to learn from all of them and it's great! Love when kdramas have solid secondary characters.

My only true complain about this kdrama is how it should be longer, cause the last 2 episodes gave us too little time to watch all 3 couples develop their answers and realizations. I wanted Ji Ho to actually fully explain her thought process to Se Hee when she left, and let him fully understand it with words. I know this is a kdrama, but since it had so many good convos i was expecting a more mature approach in the end, but it felt like the show run out of time to explain everything.

Same thing with the other two couples, i wanted to see more of Soo Ji's business plans and personal development, as well as how she truly came to appreciate her boyfriend and realize that it was possible to love and still have her mother around. For the Ho Rang and Won Seok, honestly my favorite couple, i expected also more time for them to heal and forgive each other. If they were to go their separate ways it would be a more realistic, cause sometimes you do grow apart from people you love. Sometimes loving someone is not enough. Sometimes you need other things that you later realize are not (and should not be) fullfied by someone else and it's rather work you need to do by yourself. But even ending it with them together (that always warms people's hearts), they still needed more time before jumping to planning their wedding exactly where they left it before. Just being apart and realize they missed each other dearly, does not fix their different points of view. For that you need a lot of time to process your priorities and accept the other person wishes and meet in the middle.

Once again i know i am watching a kdrama, but since the stories were just so good i was expecting some really well explained endings for all characters and felt very rushed. All of a sudden everyone is "married" and everything worked out.

Still i think people should watch this kdrama! Has some real grown up speeches that are amazing! Strongly recommend!
