Normally I don't write a review before a drama has finished airing, but I decided that I don't really care about the final two episodes anymore & I have a pretty good idea what's going to happen anyway, so here we go..

For the first 20 episodes-ish I thought this was a very mediocre, very standard cdrama with nothing but recycled plots, an incredible amount of stalling, but at least it had a decent cast & nothing too annoying happened, so I felt entertained just barely. Though the actress + bodyguard or firefighter? 3rd couple was pretty bad to be fair and there is barely any comedy worth mentioning .

After e20 though the drama turns into complete trash. (it could be e19 or e21 I'm not sure exactly when the writing shifts) Of course the problem is either the script or the original source material, I don't know. Anyway the plot becomes absolutely garbage & it doesn't feel like it was written by a human. The individual scenes are well filmed, but the plot flows randomly & stupidly, very little of it makes sense. Random start dating, random breakup, random this and that. Honestly it reminded me of the AI generated anime show called `Always Breaktime`.
Just for fun I asked Chatgpt to write a 1000 word long cdrama plot outline for me & it was way better than this, though admittedly not anymore original.

The childhood connection is rather weak as well, but I suppose I've seen worse.

I'm alright with mental illness being the main conflict of a romance drama, but this is perhaps the worst portrayal of a mentally ill person I have ever seen.

Had I finished watching this I would have almost certainly called it the worst cdrama I have ever managed to get through, unfortunately I cannot do it.
