How this has more than 7 is beyond me
I am not sure how this drama has over 7.0 and that would be a very generous rating. I had high hopes for this drama as people around me praised how good it was and the production value seemed high, so I decided to give it a chance.At the start the drama had potential. The relationship between the male lead and his sister, and the mystery around his traceless mother. The female leads friends even had their own conflicts and I found that they were more interesting than the actual leads. The friends carried the entire comedy angle. The romance is mundane and nothing new. There are so many overused scenes like the male catching the falling female lead kind of bs. There's a lot of unnecessary and long awkward kissing scenes that could have been removed. I find that the male lead is often stupid and simply simping over the female, completely disregarding his goals to chase her around. The female lead doesn't seem all that special or unique either and I am unsure of her appeal.
The only interesting bits of the drama were rushed and haphazardly written in. The sibling rivarly was barely touched and basically unresolved. The missing mother was dangled like a carrot on a stick and then the male lead suddenly says he is no longer interested in pursuing her. The heck? Those who watched knows what happens after. There are so many reasons that this drama is mediocre at best.

Good up until the end
The drama starts off with a lot of potential. It had a unique vibe and mystery that initially had me hooked. Park Bo Young's character had me chuckling. Her character became more dull and less charming as the drama continued. The love interest between the two which was obviously going to happen was boring and uninteresting. It tried to be overly metaphorical and profound which made the entire plot became more confusing and nonsensical.The last 4-5 episodes was sooo dragged out and unnecessary.

Dodge the bullet
I made the mistake of seeing this title in one of those "recommended" lists and the beginning seemed like a pretty generic start a melodrama. I usually have something on the side playing because I can't really deal with silence and this drama had a hefty amount of episodes which worked for me.Let's get started...
What is happening and wrong with these characters? The female characters in this drama are especially toxic. The 4 (out of 5) moms and Cho... It got to the point where I assumed that this writer absolutely hates women. Even Dan Dan has such a weak identity and characteristics, it's hard to call her a "main character".
What the eff... [Spoilers ahead]
Did anyone even make it to the amnesia part of the story? Yikes.
Did anyone make it to the point where Cho Sa Ra (secretary) locked up the kids to teach them a lesson? How is he letting this **** slide?

Good potential, horrible execution
I have sat through a lot of dramas and I try my best not to abandon ship. How this drama has above 6 is beyond me... I really love Kim Seon Ho and I felt like the drama could be a lot better with any other female actress. She is the most cringe character I have seen in a long time. Her character tries to sit somewhere between badass and young school girl. I get that this is a comedy mix, but... no.-- Spoilers ahead --
What is with the giant plot hole? The detectives there claim they have searched the entire subway station for years and then the cliff hanger of the killer just sitting on a giant platform full of victim photos right next to the track was bizarre.
