Fantastic cast! Great music. Wonderful story. Terrible editing.
This show had such a great cast. Ki Jin, fashion design student, is played by 2Z's Bum Jun. He had great visuals and also portrayed the creative designer well. Delivery driver, Yeong Woo, played by Eom Se Ung was also good at this role. When he smiled he looked like an adorable shy angel. They had good chemistry together and made the story believable. Professional model, Lee Bin, played by Choo Suk Young, gave a very convincing performance of loving Ki Jin and wanting him to go with him to New York. Unfortunately for him, Ki Jin had already fallen for Yeong Woo. The delivery driver's father, played by Kim Won Shik, was perfect as Yeong Woo's loving dad.
The music in this drama is wonderful, the story great and the acting fantastic. Why then did I only rate it 8.0 overall?

This seemed like a great drama that should have been a 10 but seemed to be hacked up (edited) to make it shorter. Unfortunately, that left me scratching my head trying to figure out what happened to our trio in the last three episodes. I watched the episodes again thinking I had missed something. I didn't. The answers to my questions must be lying on the editing room floor.
Why did the fashion designer ghost the delivery driver for a year when it was clear they both loved each other? I understand the designer didn't want to go to New York with the professional model. I also understand that he wanted Yeong Woo to model his clothes. We see the delivery driver showing up for the model photo shoot but he is told that the fashion designer has dropped out of the contest and won't be there which breaks Yeong Woo's heart. But why? Because it appears the fashion designer didn't go to New York at all (assumed by the crushed up air plane ticket in the waste basket) and then it shows him a year later set up in his own shop. Then out of the blue the fashion designer orders a bun for delivery and the driver turns out to be Yeong Woo. After an apology without any explanation why he ghosted him, they appear to make up. The last scene is a photo shoot showing all three guys there, seemingly all content. We still don't know what kind of relationship the professional model and the delivery man had back in high school. If it was that unimportant why even throw that in? Why is the professional model back in Korea when he had left for New York a year before? The fashion designer had been adamant that the professional model was too lux to model his casual clothing line so why is he and the delivery man both modeling the clothes in the final photo shoot at the end of the series? Arggggh! And that is how it ended.
If I were the actors I would be totally mad that all their hard work was ruined by the editing. The director should have really fixed this before releasing it to the public.
