So here's the review part:

This drama is the type of drama where you can see the flaws and not help but talk about them out loud, but also the type of drama where you wouldn't care about its flaws and watch non-stop otherwise. This drama was realistic and unrealistic at the same time; most of the realistic parts were about the hard truth of life and most of the unrealistic parts were mostly concerning the romance part of this drama. I may say that some romance parts of this drama were unrealistic, but that may be because I am used to the 1 season/16 episode format of most dramas. I am not familiar with dramas having 2 seasons or more; meaning, dramas like this are probably meant to be unnaturally fast-paced. The overall story was enough to pique my interest. This was probably due to the main(?) conflict of the drama; I kept watching every episode as I was curious to whom the main female lead would fall in love with at the end. This simple reason kept me wanting more (also why this drama deserves a score of 8.0-8.5), and why I am eagerly waiting for the release of a second season.


This is the rant part: >:(

I'm sorry but I can't believe most people prefer Sun-Oh over Hye Yeong. Besides Sun-Oh's romantic side, he's completely messed up. He has such a bad attitude and is a complete hypocrite. First of all, Hye Yeong fell in love with Jojo first; not to mention, Sun-Oh knew about it and still daringly flirted with Jojo. Sun-Oh keeps making Hye Yeong seem like the bad guy; saying he was never on his side (bich he took care of you ever since you were both little). Sun-Oh said at the 16:15 mark "You know exactly what Kim Jojo did to me. Yet how could you, of all people, do this to me?" (what a hypocrite this guy is); like I said before, Sun-Oh knew from the very beginning that Hye Yeong liked Jojo, Hye Yeong treated Sun-Oh very warmly and as mentioned in the previous episodes he was there for Sun-Oh during his hard times (unlike Jojo having no one). So how could Sun-Oh, of all people, do that to his dear friend, Hye Yeong. With the way things are going (with my personal preference in this drama), the only acceptable ending would be Jojo ringing Sun-Oh's love alarm but also love alarm 2.0 predicting that Hye Yeong becoming "the person you will fall in love with".
