Story:
The basic idea of this drama is great! Two people, who have a lot of own problems, fall in love with each other and (of yourse) conquer all these problems). Also, you can find a lot of topics here that I haven't seen before in another drama. But that's also somehow the problem: so many topics!
So you have the female lead who is a doctor and has problems with letting herself fall into a relationship. She is then betrayed by her boyfriend and in addition to that, she has a trauma from her past she has to deal with.
Then meet the writer, who himself has a tragic family story with his brother in jail and he himself having problems to sleep anywhere else but the bathtub. Apart from that he's a player. Oh, and did I mention that his ex girlfriend plagiarized his recent book? But only with the help of one of his close friends.
But wait, wait, there's more! SO MUCH MORE.....
And that's also why I really had a hard time getting through this drama in the beginning. I get it, not everyone has a smooth relationship or is mentally and physically healthy. BUT there seems to be no one in this drama without very complex and complicated problems - either with him/herself or with one of the other protagonists. After some time it just got utterly confusing for me to the point where I really asked myself what the hell was going on in this drama. Also, the fact, that some storylines are intorduced, but then somehow just disappear without an explanation (at least a somewhat clear explanation for me), bothered me! Up until episode 10 or 11 I was bound to drop this drama any minute and give it a really bad review.
But then there is the ending. The last 4/5 episodes are wonderful! They are really really intense and beautiful, and make up for the rest. The ending is also the reason why I still give the story an 8.
Acting/Cast:
Very well done from all the actors. Their characters were just a little annoying sometimes.
Music:
Oh I love the music in this one! Especially as there are not only Korean songs but many English ones as well. Great music!
Overall:
Watch it and try to not get annoyed by alls these different problems. The ending is worth it! Still, I will probably not rewatch this anytime soon.
