It was pretty good. For a 32 episode drama, more or less 30 minutes each episode, sometimes it felt a little draggy? It could be because I was too lazy to watch, or it could be because of the repetitive fighting and making up, who knows really... Honestly, it was a bit frustrating to see. And it was because their personalities that reminded me of myself. It felt like seeing different parts of myself made into 4 people. And wow even they're that frustrating to watch, I must be more frustrating of a person than them. But, I guess it was a pretty nice story, everyone's story was told fairly, from all perspectives that they didn't know initially, but only learned after they separated. All the stories they never found out until everyone was far from each other. Like they say in the drama, they got to see the shape clearly only when they see it from afar.

And, this might come off as biased (and it is), but I started watching this because I saw that Wi Hajoon's character in this is a band vocalist (and I love bands. Favorite actor+favorite music genre=what can go wrong right?) and I heard the song he sang for the OST before watching this and I absolutely love it. I watched this fully aware that he's a side character. But, I didn't expect that he would be "thrown away" after he was rejected by Hwiru. And it happened again with Kiwan's character. Both liked Hwiru, both were rejected by Hwiru, and both probably made her realize she still liked Sukmoo, and both just didn't appear again. For Siho, he went to London, but Kiwan who is Hwiru's book publishing company owner? I honestly expected to see him again after the rejection because of course, Hwiru WORKS under him. But he just never appeared anymore after that. Though I understand, sure they're side characters, anyone can suddenly come and go anytime. But that part honestly just bugged me, I was wishing they would stay friends, stay close to Hwiru (and I wished that Siho would rekindle his friendship with Sukmoo too but.... yup didn't happen) and instead of just going away, stay and see the person they liked happy with someone else as they also try to move on. But again, they're side characters. I totally understand...

Overall it's pretty good. The OST sung by Wi Hajoon and Cha Taehyun are really good (Lowkey kinda wished they would have a duet but yknow they didn't really rekindle their relationship, and Sukmoo took a pretty long time to get back into music again). Would I watch it again? Not really... Maybe I would watch Wi Hajoon's scenes again, but rewatch the drama again as a whole? Don't think so.
