Wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either.

This is going to be kinda long & I'll start by saying it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't amazing either.



The main couple was literally so boring, they really had no chemistry at all it was so painful to watch. I had to skip through most of their scenes to be honest. The "love" they had was not believable at all. Yoonha (Uee) was okay I did like her though she did get annoying at times, & Joongi (Sung Joon) I immediately hated him from the start I did not like him once throughout the whole thing. Kinda wished he would've just gone & died in a ditch somewhere, but you know.


Then we have the secondary couple Chang Soo (Park Hyung Sik) & Ji Yi (Im Ji Yeon) who had amazing chemistry & most of their scenes together were pretty adorable. They should've been the main couple 100%. I stuck with this drama for their sake.
Also alert for any of you who hate unnecessary break ups both couples do breakup. The main couple does have a better reason for a breakup though (& They really should've stayed broken up in all honesty) the second couple is just like... why? They get back together again but anyway.

I love Chang Soo one reason because of PHS (I mean he is the whole reason I started this kdrama in the first place) but another because the character he played was amazing. I loved literally all his outfits they looked fantastic on him. His hairstyle was so cool too.
Then there is also his personality which is cool, funny, very charming, at times very adorable & of course we can't forget hot. He could be a bit of a jerk & stuck up sometimes but that was just one thing I loved about his personality & it was funny. He definitely stole the limelight no questions asked.
I loved Ji Yi too she was funny, energetic & so adorable (no wonder my boy Chang Soo loves her) she did get slightly annoying at the end, but I got over that. Also, I loved Yoonha and Ji Yi's friendship they loved each other like sisters it was pretty sweet.

To be honest Ji Yi & Chang Soo were the only characters I genuinely liked (every once in a while, Yoonha) everyone else sucked. I also hated how much they focused on the side characters when they legit didn't even have anything interesting to say & most of the time it was just Yoonha's mother screeching like a banshee. Again, I skipped through most of those parts too.
Chang Soo's mother & Yoonha's mother were such cows. They did get better at the end, but I still hate them.
I don't usually drop things but if it hadn't been for Park Hyung Sik & Im Ji Yeon I would've definitely abandoned this. In my opinion they saved this kdrama.
I'll probably rewatch sometime but literally only for the secondary couple & PHS scenes. If you're a major fan of Park Hyung Sik (like me) you'll most likely like watching it for him if nothing else, I wouldn't recommend if you don't like him but if you do I would & you can just skip to the better parts of this.
So anywya I love the secondary couple hate everything else.
I'll stop now this became long. Thanks for reading <3
