Healing while finding yourself.
Have you ever ask yourself with one of these questions?Do I enjoy being alone? Do I dare to travel alone? Or do I enjoy watching the sea by myself? If you find yourself asking any of these questions then this drama might be the one who can give you an answer. Those questions are only a few of title episodes in this drama.
This drama is not a love story with someone but a love story within yourself. I find this addicting to watch as me, myself has been single most of my life but still asking the questions to myself if I can do something on my own.
Story: the drama is slow pace but then in real life, you will not find yourself or heal in a blink of an eye, right? I love that about this drama. The feeling is so real that it is happening to yourself without even knowing it. The story itself so close to my heart as I'm always asking myself every time they are asking single people with an interview-like scenario(in this drama) with the questions which is the same as the title episodes and I can relate to their answers! The length of the series is just perfect, no more no less for me. And for the ending, I like it! In the end you will really pursue what you want and you will heal in no time.
Relationships/Characters: the relationships of the characters to each other are so pure. From being a stranger to a person you can lean on. The different types of single or how you can cope up on your own can be seen in each characters. The hardships and struggles of healing whether it's about your family or your past love relationships are also present.
Locations: the locations in this drama is surreal. You will see the beauty of the city and the neighbouring provinces and some parts of other country too! (I can't give the country where our characters went to though) Going to a different places all the time, you will also see the delicacies of the town. And for me, I like it! It gives me knowledge to what to see and do to a certain place and I love how what the production did for that!
Music/BGM: the OSTs for this drama is a bop! I like every single of it. The sfx and bgm for this drama are okay too. They are right on time to play in certain scenes. Plus the English translations of the OSTs are heartwarming!
Acting: some actors in my opinion can improve their acting. I don't feel so attach at one person but I also need to understand that some people are really not good at showing emotions. And I think that's what the director wants to happen.
Re-watch value for me is high as I want to look back on my youth while I'm finding myself(still) and see if I did my best to achieve it.
Remember finding yourself is a process. No rush and take it easy! You've done so well to be at this place right now and keep moving forward!

Simple yet realistic
“Sometimes, I feel that each and every one of us is like a wandering planet. Only because we both got lost were we able to meet.”I guess it’s a fate that our male lead went back to his childhood place to continue running his grandfather’s store.
This story is about opening and closing chapter of your life. Opening for new memories and remembering what it was like going back to your childhood place, closing for the wounds to heal, for the words left unsaid and for the questions left unanswered.
The place itself feels like us viewers(in my opinion) as we can witness the story from the grandfather’s life to the grandson. The store itself watched the people as they come and go of this countryside.
The relationships of our main lead to all the people in the town is superb. They are taking care of each other, specially our elders to him, guiding him and explaining to him what to do for the store. I love how the elders remind him of the memories he had lost and how simple and nice the life at the countryside. We can also in the first five episodes the struggle of our male lead to make decisions that will affect the rest of his life. And overall, the people at the town feels like a one whole family as they know each other very well.
The acting for this drama is good but needs improvement, sometimes I don’t get the emotion of each characters. I don’t feel the chemistry of the two main leads sometimes. But the acting of the people who are portraying the grandfather’s life is on point. As being said, that is the one who standout for me in this drama.
The OST in this drama is decent as well as the BGM. And the male lead can sing too! I love his voice when he was singing in this drama. (may be a spoiler or not)
If you want a healing drama again, then this is a nice rewatch for you. It’s light and heavy at the same but it will give you the healing feeling that we are all looking for when we are feeling down. So for me, whenever I feel like that I’m sure I’ll pick this drama for a rewatch.
Overall 9/10 the actings can be improved but the story is what I love the most is the friendship of the boys in this drama. It is also lesson that we can all learn and remember. The forgiveness that we are asking for will be given to us at the right time. The healing after asking for forgiveness is a satisfaction that we can all have watching this drama.

Update: I'm 24 now and I approve of the scenes. XD But for some minors, keep in my mind some of the scenes may not suitable for you to watch. And also this was released when SK is not really into this theme and it is a bold move of the network for doing this and it did not disappoint me.
