Whatever
It started out really good, then it went off track and only hinted at coming back in the last two episodes. The story seemed forced to make statement after statement. Granted it covered some much needed to be talked about subjects, but they throw them in your face and never actually resolve anything. Only one villain is held accountable for anything.There is nothing smooth about this story. It rushes from on point to the next with no real connection.
The chemistry is rushed too. There is nothing earned, everything is given and nothing makes sense.
This drama fell flat on so many points: story, premise, chemistry, continuity, reason, relatability, sincerity.
It is not worth the time to watch.

Brilliant Characters
A spectacular story about nature vs nurture, preconceptions and human frailty. What you see isn’t always what is.I felt that the story was beautifully written and executed. The actors brought their characters to life.
The development of the main characters was earned through their well plotted experiences.
I feel that this is well worth watching more than once. You will uncover things you didn’t catch the first time.
Park So Dam’s is the star of the whole thing. Her ability to portray her characters need to understand and adapt to the events she is involved with really make the show what it is. She makes you feel the heart and pace. Jang Hyuk’s energy, while dealing with situations his character has never been taught how to, is a perfect match. It’s an incredible casting choice that works 100%.
Enough twist and turns to keep you guessing and binging straight through. It definitely does not feel like you’ve just watched 14, hour long episodes.
I’m my opinion, it’s well worth your time.

A character’s story
This has some of the best character development ever written. Each character starts out with deep seated and earn prejudices. Through mature dialogue the characters begin to see things from a different point of view.The writers pull out all of the stops to bring forward a story that not embroiled with jealousy, backstabbing, and petty behavior. The main couple overcome adversity with maturity and humor.
The story is simple and basically unoriginal (but what story hasn’t been told a hundred times already). What sets this one apart is really understanding how an individual character comes together with another to create a true companionship with someone they were originally closed off from. Their relationships are refreshing and delightful.
This one will show you that with open and honest communication relationships can stand against any storm. Misunderstandings can destroy happiness, therefore communication is essential. That is what this drama brings that most purposefully avoid.
It is was incredibly fun to watch.

Overall Trash
This one started off well and hopefully, but it fell flat like a turd from an airplane. The story has more plot holes than Swiss cheese. The ML is useless and needs to lay off the teeth whitening. (Sorry that’s a bit cruel.) The FL is supposed to be this powerful being, but she’s just a product of bullying. The graphic are silly.The best thing about it is the costumes. Those are quite pretty. Some of the choreography is nice, as well.
In no way would I recommend anyone wasting even a second on this one. There are some phenomenal shows out there (I’ve watched a lot of them) and this is not one of them.

Why?
It’s very simple to retell the exact same story and only change the setting. That is what they did. What a waste.What happened to the male lead? I can’t be the only one that has noticed a significant change in his appearance. Back off the teeth whitening before they disintegrate.
The story was unredeemable. The acting was done like they were in their first year of acting school. The whole thing seemed to have been made just to bank off the first drama and the actors names.
In my opinion , it’s a complete fail.

Wow!
This is exactly what the heart needs and wants.The story flows perfectly. Everything is explained and everything is earned. It has a beautiful message, actually many.
The chemistry between all of the couple, whether it’s a breakup, falling in love, or maintaining love and friendship, is relatable and brilliantly done. The entire cast and crew must have really loved working with each other, because it was a pure pleasure to watch.
Not every moment is a happy one, but the moment that are meant to rip your heart out do.
This drama is worth every moment to watch and rewatch. Watch it once for the entertainment. Watch it again for the lessons.

Just wow!
The acting was so incredibly bad in just the first episode, I’m not going to waste time on something so cringeworthy. First rule to any type of entertainment: hook the audience in the first 10 pages or it’s not worth going further. It’s almost a slap in the face to expect people to make their first 10 pages perfect and then come out with something this horrible.It says I need 500 words so…let’s see if I can do that and not be 100% negative. Have all the actors take acting classes. Have the current director and editor shadow someone who knows how to do the job. Make the screenwriters completely redo the script, because the dialogue is drab and the flow is choppy. The camera work is off. Oops. All negative. The main leads are handsome. That’s a positive.
