Cliche, yet not so

I started to watch it because it is a very quick drama and it seems to be light.
I kept watching because the ML and FL made a great couple, with lots of chemistry. I love the kisses scenes. Be biggest issue seems to be the insecurities of the FL about the love of the ML. (Well he had a strange 3 years long term contract relationship to show his love, yet he needed more time). By the end. It is not the real issue.
So when I was getting all happy with the end...

Spoiler
a very unexpected plot twist. I mean, it was fine written, but I didn't like it at all.
Life is hard the way it is. I don't need to see it like that on TV. Why should he be like dead?

So if you expect a very happy ending, you will not gonna find here.

It is nice, quick, great couple, beautiful kisses scenes, just the plot twist that I didn't appreciate.
I want another ending

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse... it did!

The amnesia storyline is usually boring anyway, but in this drama, it was done and then done to death. Still, I persisted. In her own way, the FL's character was somewhat endearing despite her silliness. The ML's character was appealing, and he certainly was easy on the eyes. Their chemistry was just so-so. Still I persisted.

Then came the twist at the end, and hope sprung. Maybe we didn't waste the episodes after all and endured the crappy editing and choppy story-telling. And then came the biggest disappointment of all. That ending! The crappiest, most unsatisfying end to a drama as I have ever seen. It was pointlessly cruel and left me totally stunned. I searched for alternate ending; some explanation; a season 2 perhaps. But nothing.

I try to give a drama a decent rating because I believe the actors deserve credit for the roles they are given and strive to play. That is the only reason this drama got any rating at all. I hope never to encounter anything this writer does - and certainly won't watch it.

Absolutely NO rewatch value, and if you're looking for something to watch, stay clear of this one.

A big no

Very twisted drama . Til 20th episode it was good then story was twisted so much that I had forgot what was the real story . Starting was good . I started like watching but last two episode made me confused so much that I was started thinking what was the real story ?
From my side A big no bit the male and female lead's acting was good .
One more thing the drama introduced his grandmother in the starting of the drama but as the story was progressed the grandmother 's character was nowhere ,I mean why . like this so many flaws were there in the drama.

Was going to give it high marks…

This drama started out nice but then the last two episodes tanked it for me. They should have ended it at episode 21 at 10 minutes 40 seconds into it and added a clean ending. That. Did. Not. Happen!

Storyline - needed some work and not just the story but some of the casts acting was not good. Like I said strong start then the ending got weird. Seriously, if you are going to do a plot twist… make it a plot twist but with a happy ending. This ending sucked! It started in episode 21 (the same as listed above) with the ground shaking and their world shattering and then in episode 22 she wakes up in the hospital and then we watch their whole encounter all over again. They run over their first encounter together like so many times it got boring. Same thing over and over and over. If you watch it you will get the point.

I really REALLY had high hopes for a great ending but when I got to the tail end of episode 21 I knew it was a goner for me. Sigh… just write a decent ending! That is all we want lol.

Acting/Cast - I have to ask … why does the ML always star in these mini cliche dramas? He is a good looking guy and not too bad at acting but I only see him in these minis. They do him no justice. I think I would like to see him in a nicer drama. The FL was not bad. I like her. Some of the other cast needed work though.

Rewatch - ? ??
I don’t know… honestly if it was not for that ending ruining it all I would have said YES in a heartbeat but it ruined it for me. Maybe I will watch it later on down the road I did give it 5/10 on rewatch. That at least is a 50/50 for me.

let's fly high and fall-

story wise, i like it so much where the male lead only has eyes for female lead. he chases her from the very beginning, so the plot is quite fast (later will be explained how he knew her in the past). on the other hand, shes not pushing him too hard, she cares with him.
besides, there are sooooo many steamy kisses!! aargh i love it🥰 the charm of ML and the beauty of FL really spoil me, their acting's very well. FL not the type of weak girl whom snaky girl can mess with.
I'd give it 9.5/10 up to eps 20 or 21 . i suggest u not to watch until the ending bcs its terrible to the point that i give it 0/10. 🤦‍♀️
so for me personally, i'll rewatch again in the future bcs their chemistry's so damn good. but will stop around eps 20 hhhh. overall for short length story, its worth watching!

Starts off formulaic but has a twist

Definitely a bit different from what I was expecting, but the ending did leave you with some hope. Yes the ML lost one of his legs and was in a coma for a long time, but there was that little twitch of his finger to show that he was maybe coming round.

Has potential for a series 2 although I doubt that would happen. It could have his rehabilitation and the challenges to their relationship as he adapts etc. It suffers from the disjointed feel of a mini series but it's interesting to watch if you want something short to watch.

They should just stop.

The drama was okay at first. But they should just stop at ep 21. Why bother making those confusing plot twsist. And cruel ending. Very unnecessary. The short drama was going in fun, enjoyable even tho cliche and typical contract marriage kind of genre. Until got to the ending. And i became like “wtf did i just watched ?”
Honestly for the first time I don’t know how to rate this drama.
In terms of cast. I think they are quite good. The FL is cute as well. My favourite part is she saves herself instead of be typical FL who waiting to be save.

Writers REALLY need to know When to STOP

ML is nice looking, a pretty good actor and needs better scripts. The FL was okay, but the script kept trying to force scenes and replay too many 'memory' scenes. Production, OST and acting were decent. THIS NEEDS TO TRULY END @ EPISODE 21 @ 10min30sec and WALK AWAY!!!

Amnesia in dramas is overly done. But more importantly, this is a mini. Alot of actors get their start in minis in hopes to land major roles. When the editing is choppy, the storyline starts strong and ends sloppy, then viewers can only give it low marks which in turn reflects on the whole production.

I had to take a point away once 22-23 played.....Hot garbage!
Different lifestyles, earthquake and the random book. SMH (trying too much with too little) What were the writers thinking? Throwing in random distractions don't make a storyline interesting. This actually is a grave disservice to the cast and crew. If this ending was to hint at a part 2...STOP THE BLEEDING NOW!

It has become a confusing mess due to the last 2 episodes that veer away from the title completely and the total vibe of the previous 21 episodes.

Just another dream.

Easy to watch like a bedtime story. Female lead was overdressed most of the time which was weird but that’s okay since it was a dream. Choices of supporting cast and fashion sense can be improved, ie. the rich heiress doesn’t look rich enough as she wore an OL dress to a ball party.. Nevertheless, it wasn’t too bad for its budget and time constraint to produce the drama. Hope to see more such drama in future.
