Great, mature characters with a sweet romance!
STORY 9/10
Kim Jae Wook and Park Min Young were perfect and had great chemistry. I love the maturity of the characters. They didn't get overly jealous, but they were reasonable and talked things out. I felt like I was watching a married couple who were deeply in love. There was lots of feel-good and sweet moments. Kinda disappointed that they weren't married by the end, just engaged.
I would've given this drama a 10/10 if it ended at 14 episodes. BUT, I still liked the last two episodes. I just didn't like the "met each other during childhood and somehow forgot" trope. I'm just glad it wasn't the "almost siblings" trope, which would've made me gag. I like the life lesson taught that we're humans and we make mistakes, maybe even big ones. But we're still good.
MUSIC 10/10
Music was excellent! It went well with the art. It was beautiful, light, and refreshing.
Things I wish they would've done:
- Since Ryan was adopted, I wish they would've introduced his adoptive family. Maybe he had a sister, maybe it was just parents. Either way, their interactions with SDM and/or her parents with western culture vs eastern culture could've been COMEDY GOLD!!!
- I was hoping that as SDM fell in love with Ryan, she would gradually get rid of CSA memorabilia at her place. I was hoping that she would pass on the duties of fan page manager to someone else. (Also, it's weird thinking that SDM is basically fangirling over her future half brother-in-law, and Ryan's totally okay with it.)
- SDM gave up her art dream years earlier. I wish she would've been able to fulfill it
Biggest plot hole EVER: SDM's mom should've brought Ryan to the police when his mom didn't return. Surely, someone would've filed a missing child report with the police. I know SDM looked it up and didn't find anything. The show didn't specify how long Ryan's mom was in the hospital for. But there was still the grandpa who trashed her paintings. Why wasn't he looking for him and filed it if she was in the hospital for >1month?
