Since this drama currently (as of January 2022) only has two reviews, I thought I would throw in my two cents for future viewers.

With so many newbie idol actors in this web drama, I started without much expectations, but it turned out to be better than I expected. The ML’s acting is pretty good (he’s a professional actor with some credentials), and the others are not bad but as a viewer I can tell the inexperience of some actors. Since I have recently gone through a traumatic loss, I empathize deeply with the FL’s sense of loss, sadness, and agony. The story is realistic showing the FL’s process in grieving. When she meets the ML, she’s still experiencing the loss and in mourning, so I think it’s appropriate that she doesn’t see him as a love interest. I am glad the story allows her time to process her loss and hurt, and not make her character jump into a new relationship. The ML, too, is trying to overcome his own trauma. Sure, they realize they could help each other, but their separation also allows them to learn to heal and move on before they commit to a relationship. I think this is healthy: to be your own person, to be strong, to stand up on your own so that you can be the best person for the one you love.

I am, though, not a fan of the twist and new potential love interest near the end. If the writers are going to do this kind of twisted new development, then this web drama should be a full-fledged drama to give more substance and backstory.
