This is one of those dramas that does such a wonderful job of writing the characters/storyline that you can't help but miss everything about them once it ends. I couldn't watch any other dramas for days after I finished this because I couldn't get this drama out of my mind. Aside from the friendship between the two leads, I absolutely enjoyed watching each character's story unfold. They each have a story to tell and I loved how it was told and then resolved. They each have a past, or some conflicts with their personal life and this B&B on the beach is - in a way - their safe haven from their troubles. I think we all kind of wish/hope we can experience something so carefree, happy, and loving like what the leads experienced on this beach and I think that's why this drama was so intriguing. The inn was the ideal place to stay. Nothing too stressful. You meet new people every day, you're next to the water all day, you have food to eat, and a nice group of people to call friends.

Not only that but I felt like I could relate to the characters, especially Kaito. He has a good job, a nice home, a beautiful girlfriend, and the "ideal" life yet can't help but feel like something's missing. He quits his secure (probably high salary paying) job to work part-time at the B&B. It might have been the stupidest thing he has ever done and he might even regret leaving his "perfect" life behind, but I think he saw what the B&B could provide and he saw a life worth living. This new life could be exactly what's right for him. It's not about having the perfect life but about living a life with no regrets and doing what's right for you even if that means leaving a secure life for one that's less secure but brings happiness to you.

This is a story about individuals who have lost their way in life and bond through their hardships. This is a story about friendships, family, relationships, pasts, hope, and summer, but most importantly it's about finding yourself. The OST is nostalgic and I can't help but listen to it every time I miss this drama. "Forever" is amazing and brings back so many feelings and emotions and just everything!

Definitely rewatchable! I highly recommend it. Just wish it was a little longer because I didn't want it to end!
