Refreshing for me!

This drama really felt so fresh to me. I appreciated that for the most part things stayed relatively low stakes and focused on character relationships. There was some less believable aspects of the story and the character interactions, but for the most part it stayed grounded and realistic. This feels rare for a lot of dramas sometimes!

Those last few episodes after the final time jump though..... Woof. they really leaned so hard into the drama tropes! So much hospitalization, kidnappings, a coma, they did it all. It was like they strayed from the traditional drama writing for too long and they couldn't resist at the end.

Overall I thought the actors did well, I loved the music, and the story kept me interested.

This drama was so all over the place

Wow was this disappointing! The premise sounded really interesting which is what made me want to watch it in the first place. It starts off as such a great thriller and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. But! It hit episode 3 and I started to wonder where else it could possibly go. I felt like they had covered an entire season's worth of plot in a few episodes. Then it just started to derail and it never recovered. The actors were good and the sets were pretty, but this great concept was poorly executed.

After hearing so much about it, I really tried to enjoy this show! I dropped it several times but kept coming back and trying to push through... It didn't work.

Although the cast was cute, I was confused as to why the two leads even liked each other. They seemed like they were just mashed together and decided to go with it. The story was really up and down as well. Things kept happening that I thought would case major shifts or have longterm effects, but the next episode it was almost forgotten.

Maybe I'll come back to it eventually but not any time soon.
