Casting is everything!

I'm a sucker for rom-com stuff, so, of course, I enjoyed this one. But I do have to admit that the best thing about this kdrama is the casting choices. I can just imagine that I wouldn't be as invested in this kdrama had they chosen other actors. Kudos to the actors because they did such an amazing job.
There were definitely lapses when it came to the plot. The taxi driver killer was so one-dimensional, in my opinion. We didn't have that much information on him aside from being a serial killer; he barely even talked. He was basically just there as an obstacle for the leads, nothing else. Speaking of the leads, I wish they gave them more substance, you know? I like them together, and I'm glad that BWS and KHY's chemistry had me wanting more, but their lives basically revolved around one another. Almost all of Sol's and Sun-jae's choices had something to do with each other.
Despite all that, I still quite enjoyed the drama. I don't consider this the best kdrama by any means, but it's somewhat of a feel-good and filler kdrama with a side of serial killer for me, and I enjoyed that.
