Let me start by saying that I really didn't expect to enjoy this drama as much as I did. And it's strange that I didn't grow bored with it, because nothing substantial really happens, it's all about character development, growing as a person, accepting who you are and accepting others. The fact that the main characters weren't saints, ready to forgive and forget everything was one of the main points which made me like it so much. I get the thrope of the goodie two shoes, who can't even have one evil thought and how it might be attractive, but I'm one of those people who believe that bad people should get what they deserve and that the hero should do just that, punish them for their wrong doings. I'm not talking about the criminal evil here, I'm talking about random people who do bad things, things that might not be legally wrong, but are wrong nonetheless. I've grown pretty tired of those characters that do bad and then seek redemption? They say they're sorry and it's all just peachy after that? They don't get what's coming for them and it makes me incredibly angry. Some girl comes up with disgusting ways to mess with the main female character's life because she likes the main male lead and in the end, she says she's sorry and nothing happens to her? Not on my watch! It was so refreshing to not only see Yoo Jung get revenge on people who have wronged him, it was also delightful to see Hong Seol accept him, understand him and stop being such a pushover. Now, I think it was established that Yoo Jung wasn't the typical hero and he did have his demons, none of which made me dislike him because our ways of thinking are somehow similar, but I do believe that the way he decided to get to know himself better was wise.Baek In Ho? He had moments where I'd roll my eyes because he was so thick-headed, but all in all, he was a likeable character. I understand why he felt so mad about the lead and their past together and I do condone how Yoo Jung chose to deal with the situation, but In Ho should have taken a moment to understand the other as well.Baek In Ha? Hated her from the first minute I saw her. She has no redeeming quality and seeing as what she did in the last episodes is absolutely disgusting, the way that, until the last moment, she would say that it wasn't her fault and her punishment was too lenient. As I stated before, bad people should get what they deserve.All in all, I loved the acting, I loved the leads, I loved the story and not even the open ending wasn't a turnoff.
