Inspirational story, well-produced, with two great guys!

I had been so scared to watch this, because I heard that the sls broke everyone's heart! But no, I loved this drama so much!! I shouldn't have let other opinions get to me! Don't get me wrong, I loved the second lead to bits, but I thought the main leads were better together (#teamdosan) for one huge reason - you get to see both of them grow TOGETHER!

I also heard comments from people that the drama turns bad around the middle, but as someone in the field, I can't see why people are bashing on it - this drama shows the excitement of business and tech more than ANY other drama I've ever watched! Reignited my passion for ideating, thinking outside the box - a passion for entrepreneurship, giving this drama a special place in my heart.

I loved to see how the main couple grew together - their process and progress and how they are on their way to achieving their dreams together - AHHH SO INSPIRING! I loved the episodes before they got famous, although the story afterwards was fun to watch too.

Also, the music!! Oh, I just LOVE the music! I think the OST is what actually convinced me to give the drama a try in the first place! Loved the music, and now am learning to play it on the piano!

The second lead - he's adorable and amazing - and like I want to HAVE him, but I think that it was better that he didn't end up with our female lead. He was her mentor and made her cautious, but Do San is the one who ignites her passion. Ji Pyung was the mentor that they could honestly owe their success to, but sooner or later the mentees need to do things themselves - which is what they did. And yes, the story did focus a lot on Ji Pyung's backstory - but WHO SAID THAT YOU CAN'T FOCUS ON ANYONE BUT THE COUPLE? I was and am very attached to him and his story, and I loved that they put that much focus on him, because HE DESERVES IT - regardless of whether or not he gets the girl. I loved how close he was with the grandma <3 even if he didn't get the lead girl, he has a family now :)
