K-Drama female leads have horrible tastes in men.
Let me start this by saying - the drama wasn't the worst thing I've ever watched in my life. There have been dramas that have physically hurt me by how bad they were, this is definitely not it, however, this was very boring and repetitive.
My overall rating for this drama is 6 stars. I'll go more in detail by point, so this is easily readable...
1. ) The story gets extremely boring for the main couple.
The whole drama is centered around Soo and Wooyeon, they're "friends" since high school and the writer had tried his best to explain Soo's personality. It didn't work. Soo leaves Wooyeon for 10 years and during that time she feels like she has a curse because she cannot fall in like with anyone she dates. I think you see where this is going. She pines after him for the whole goddamn show, and when a really good man is in front of her, someone who actually cares and recognizes her value, she uses him as a rebound and breaks his heart. Ladies and gentlemen, it is not smart to run after a person for 10 years when they don't show any real interest in you.
There is one thing I can praise this drama for and that's the side story for the 2 side couples. The drama was only able to get me to feel anything was through Sanghyunk and Jinjoo's funny personalities, and Younghee and Hyunjae's very real relationship struggles. In my opinion, if the story was centered around Younghee and Hyunjae, it'd be SO much better.
2.) The acting is decent.
There's not much I can say regarding the acting. I had never previously watched any of Ong Seongwu's dramas, so maybe his acting was iffy just in this one. Shin Yeeun's acting is decent, I don't hate it, and her chemistry with Seongwu was good enough for what this drama wanted to show. I really enjoyed Kim Dongjun's performance and as well as everyone else's. The chemistry inside of the friend group was astonishing and, at some point, it really felt like I was watching real friends.
3.) Music is very aesthetically pleasing. It matches the setting of the drama, and I'm a fan of some of the songs that are in the OST, so I rated it a 9. This may have saved the rating lmao.
4.) Yeah, no. There is genuinely no good reason for anyone to rewatch this. I know for a fact in a year I won't even remember I watched this.
