I was pleasantly surprised as I expected a light hearted comedy but got a pretty intense story about trauma. Aside from Dr. Jo, everyone in this story is a little bit on the nutty scale and very well acted, which makes for an interesting and engaging show.
What I liked:
- the transformation of Jae Yeol. Jo In Sung is the epitome of cool and it was amazing to watch how he played Jae Yeol as someone with ultimate swagger and later on as someone, who perhaps, could be seen as pitiful
- the chemistry among the roommates. loved how much they all cared so easily for each other.
- Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo jin. they make a beautiful, confident duo
What I disliked:
- poor resolution of secondary story lines. there are a LOT of interesting characters introduced along the way, don't expect any of their stories to get any satisfying resolution. everyone gets a quick line here or there, but nothing substantial or worthwhile.
- the transformation of hae soo. her story arc doesn't make a whole lot of sense. she and jae yeol are great together but she's not as likable in the end as she is in the beginning
Overall, really enjoyed the show as it was different from the standard meet-cute story of boy falls in love with girl.
