One of the Best Dramas in Existence

I just want to say that I cannot see a drama as good as this releasing in the future. This is truly a masterpiece of a drama that I cannot even think of words to describe it. There are only a few dramas where every second truly counts and there are absolutely zero fillers. This is one of them and it is a tragedy that there are people that didn't watch this drama.
The story is the best I've seen in any drama and each character is unique and important in their respective ways. By far the best villain I've seen in any drama. This is also one of the only dramas that I've watched that has a clear moral of the story and clear theme.
Each actors played their parts perfectly and I have nothing but compliments for all the cast. If you are a Lee Jong Suk fan and haven't watched this drama, then you aren't a true fan. This drama was literally the birth of Lee Jong Suk but I think Lee Bo Young and Yoon Sang Hyun acted the best.
Music is indescribably nostalgic and very fitting for the drama.
The only flaw in this drama is the fact that it isn't the most realistic drama. Also I didn't cry watching this drama but that is only because I am not the type to cry when watching something.
Overall, I cannot rate this drama below 9.8 because it is truly a cream of the crop drama. If you haven't watched already, then I urge you to try the first episode and continue if you like it. This isn't the drama where the plot gets watered down as you watch. All the way until the climax, you will experience a serious, thrilling, comedic, suspenseful, and romantic drama that you will learn something from.

This is my favorite korean drama by far. However I cannot recommend if you are not korean or not interested in korea, or if you don't like the main cast. At episode 20, you will cry. I never cry when I watch movies or tv shows but this was the first one that I cried, a lot. Acting is as expected from veteran actors and from the start to end it is so immersive. You feel like you are in their shoes. The only problem with this drama is that it is longer than it should have been, making it hard to watch twice, like most dramas. But I will watch it again for sure in a couple of years.

great potential

I'm a fan of Kim Ha Neul and Yoon Sang Hyun so that is why I started watching. Most of the dramas I watch are before 2018 because I'm not into the zoomer ones like the ones on netflix. Getting straight to the point, the first 4 episodes were S tier. The next 12 episodes were snoozers for me because I have a short attention span so I need every second to matter in a drama. The main problem in this drama is that there are too many scenes that are replays and too many sleeper flashbacks.
The acting in this drama was really good because Lee Do Hyun did an outstanding job in the first couple of episodes and the other two main are veteran actors. But there were still scenes where you would cringe because how cheesy the acting is.
The story in this drama had good potential but after the 4th episode, the plot watered down really hard. But I was never bored when watching the drama. I usually don't finish dramas if they get too sleeper but I finished this one.
Overall a decent drama that I wouldn't watch again. Although the quality of the drama is good, I just cannot rate it higher than a 7.8 because too many replays and slow motions that make me angry. And the underwhelming 12 episodes.

EDIT: I'm currently watching this again with my mom and I realized that I haven't really appreciated the acting, small details, and the music very much. Story is still quite underwhelming but the acting and comedy makes up for it. The fact that I am also re watching this is also proof that this drama is a fun experience overall. I can proudly say that this is an 8.5 worthy drama and is a good watch for anyone especially if you are a father.
