I absolutely loved it!! The first 13 ep were a solid 10 romantic comedy all the way. I laughed so hard, omgoodness, it was hilarious! I loved the storyline, plot, subject, different characters, all the actors, they were all amazing. The lead actor was absolutely perfect for this role, I’ve seen him in several other dramas as a supporting actor and he was great in all of them, so I was so happy to finally see him as a lead. He played each part, comedy, serious, emotional, and romantic equally well, I just loved him! And was my first time seeing the lead actress, she is a gem for sure, especially for being so young! But she was so beautiful, cute, warm, funny, just adorable.
Like I said, I seriously loved every actor & character, and thank goodness no real evil villain! But I have to give a special shout out to the actor who played the girl’s father. I have seen him in so many dramas and he is excellent in every one! He is an extremely funny comedic actor but also equally good with expressing genuine emotion & feeling, I absolutely love & adore him!
I also can’t express enough how much I enjoyed the romance & true realistic kiss scenes! Thank you writers & actors for having two adult people who are falling in love and dating to actually participate in a “real life” kiss, and not a motionless or “emotion-less” frozen face plant or pecks. To see the female lead actually participating with her whole body, and not acting all shy & coy & innocent like a school girl was so refreshing!! Thank you again! And it was such a joy to watch the lead couple’s relationship grow & develop into something so beautiful.
I also appreciated the subject that was addressed in this drama, of OCD & the phycological aspects of the disease. His sickness caused him to be so isolated & lonely, being so deprived of love & human touch, and he thought he was fine without it. So to see how he was healed by the touch of the woman he loved was just so beautiful.
Now, my only complaint, and it’s really just one of my pet peeves for most all dramas in general, not just this one: I was more than slightly disappointed in the last 2-2 1/2 ep, for the sole reason that we pretty much lost all the comedy & the romance, and only got the angst, up until the last 10 min or so. I really thought we would be spared from the formalistic inevitable obligatory k-dramaland heart wrenching, soul crushing, no explanation given, lie & hide your true feelings break up scenario! Like I was so hopeful because this couple had become so strong, and this was just after she had promised to stay by his side no matter what! I was seriously like, wth whyyyyyyy???!!!?? I mean yes I understand there was a reason, but it shouldn’t have been a reason, AT ALL, I’m sorry, it was just so wrong!! This really almost ruined the drama for me, in fact I would rate the last 2 ep about a 5. This is a wake up call to the writers, please take note! Doing this when it is so uncalled for and unjustified , and serves no purpose whatsoever, just makes the character lose all credibility, heart & humaneness, and makes me lose all respect for them! I mean can we please come up with something different for a change, like idk, maybe a couple who actually communicate, confide in each other, and talk & work through things together instead of playing the instant, “I don’t like you & I never want to see you again for no reason” breakup card?! I was so mad at her I felt like she didn’t deserve him, because he was such a beautiful, tender hearted man, soul & character! It literally killed me and was almost unbearable to watch, but his acting was amazing through all of this! I give him 10 stars for how he reacted & handled it and tried so hard to understand and fight for it, how he never gave up, man it just made me love him even more, so I guess that’s a good thing lol! And then we have the other dreaded dramaland trope, skip so many years into the future........ sometimes it’s necessary and works, but in most cases I just see it as wasted years and time, so useless!
BUT, even with that said, I just had to vent lol, believe me, that is in no way a deal breaker, or make it less of an outstanding drama, I don’t think there’s a perfect one out there and I’ve seen my fair share. But the acting, story, etc was excellent throughout, and everything worked out in the end, so I’m happy, I just would have loved for them to carry that togetherness & romance through to the very end. But despite that I will still actually rate this in my top 10 favorite dramas, (next time I’ll just forward through all that nonsense?). It is absolutely worth the watch!
