Could have been better in many ways..

Love the casts! Plus you cannot deny the Chemistry between JCW and KJW. Woah, they have a lot of intense scenes.

The interview format doesn't make sense. Or is it just me? IDK. As described they are all adults busy with every day life but they still find time to waste for the interviews. And what is the interview for anyway? (Though ignorable, maybe)

First few episodes made me asked myself, why am I watching this? Did I just wasted my time watching this.. but I still finished it. I still give it a chance since it is a web series and only 30minutes per episode.

Reasons to watch:
1. Ji Chang Wook- I'm biased. I love him! been disappointed to JCW's previous series. This one is still better than his 2 previous series after his military service. I also love his a bit tanned skin. He looks better, manlier. Hihi.
2. Choi Minho - hihi. His role is cute. Though he doesn't have much air time.
3. Sun Young - love her! As what Eun oh and Rin yi said she's a 'Girl crush' and yeah shes's cool. Her relationships / break up stories made me laugh but her views about relationship is realistic.
4. Yangyang beach! Wow. I love beaches and I wanna visit this place. So nice!
5. OST - this show have some good music.

What I disliked or things that doesn't nake sense.
1. The interview format. As I described above.
2. They made Jae Won look so pathetic with all those interviews with him being the crazy guy who can't move on from the girl she had a summer fling. IDK but I almost dropped this series because of that. He also tends to be exaggerated on some scenes. (Note: I still love JCW)
3. The reason for the stolen cameras. They could have found a better excuse/ reason for it. Jae Won will hate Eun Oh/ Seon Ah anyway. Also she could have just taken the films! Dangit! Whatever! Haha.
4. The series focused too much on those 2 months the leads shared. It would have been better if they added some more scenes about the present time. Also the leads should have some more time knowing each other after all those lies.
5. The show only got better at Episode 11. It doesn't make sense to me until Ep. 11. They could have made it more interesting in the first few episodes. Though some people say it got better at Ep. 8, it took me until Ep. 11.

Anyway, this is my opinion and it's up to you to decide whether to watch it or not. But please give it a try.
