One of the Best Rom-Coms I've Watched To Date

This one really knocked it out of the park. I was taken in by the cute and borderline silly premise, and to be honest I did not expect too much. However, I was blown away by the quality of this show, especially the acting. Not only do the FL and ML have amazing chemistry and a relationship that gradually grows during the story, but the supporting characters are absolutely charming and well-written, and I was happy that they got to have their own stories told too.

I know that dramas generally receive a lot of praise for being realistic, but I feel that this drama touches on some things that I have not seen in others (Spoiler-free):
- Characters who have made grave mistakes are held accountable. Some learn and grow as people, but they are not treated as if they have never done anything wrong.
- Some people grow apart naturally. You might have had a very good relationship with a person several years ago, but time changes people, and not necessarily for the worse. Sometimes your memory of them might be skewed, and you realize that they are not the person you remembered. Characters like these are not demonized in this drama..

While I adore the overall story, there are some points, specifically towards the end, that do not sit well with me. In Episodes 25-26 one of the characters is continually harassed by another character, and I honestly felt like the whole thing was in very bad taste. But anything for love, I guess.

Besides the one negative comment I had, this drama is extremely well-made with a good balance of laughter and crying (at least from my perspective). The FL's acting is phenomenal when she needs to be emotional. There's no holding back, and I love her for it. Definitely worth a watch.
