An enjoyable drama overall

- Couple had chemistry. I liked that they were always supporting each other and not breaking up at last minute just to reconcile in the last episode. I have past traumas with that and it was really good to see a couple staying together through and through. I just wish they had more scenes together that explored that chemistry. I think the show spent too much time on other things instead of delivering romance.

- Why didn't Hae-e and Sunjae get together sooner? They had such a connection. They knew each other secrets. They had everything. Even Jaewoo and Yeongju had a satisfactory ending. And that love triangle they tried to force was the worst. Everytime Geonhu tried make a move I just bawled. It was obvious that she wasn't interested in none of them. But I was expecting to see her falling in love with Sunjae since I think they had more in common. And in the end when he finally confessed to her she asked him to wait until after the exams. Ok, I understand that, but she decided to go out with him only after 2 years had passed! They had a lot of potential in the beginning and I was really disappointed with their ending.

- I think Sunjae and his mother should've had a talk in the end abt how she treats her sons. I know he tried to put his feelings out to her some times, but I think it didn't seem definitive. I just wished they had a final confrontation in which he would explain how he feels and how her actions only hurt him and his brother. And we didn't get to see her reaction to Sunjae's decision to drop school. Also, I remember Sunjae saying that studying medicine was his mother's wish for him. But he never said what was that he actually wanted to do. And I don't know if I lost some info but I don't think it was clear if he was doing medicine with Hae-e and Sua or not. Furthermore, I wished we had more scenes of both brothers together, giving support to each other since Sunjae was suffering from all the pressure Huijae had suffered as well.

- I think Sua's problem should've had a more closed ending. It was a little bit confusing to me how she dealt with her stress symptoms in the end. We didn't get a conversation between her mother amd her abt this. Because she was feeling pressured to get good grades probably cuz' her mother's job, but I didn't feel like her mother was intentionally putting that pressure on her. So I think that if they had talked maybe Sua would feel less pressured.

- Why Hae-e did that with her mother in the end? Why would she want to go to Japan with her biological mother?! That was totally absurd! She didn't like that woman!Hae-e was actually one ofy least favorite characters in the drama, cuz she didn't really have a personality. Like she always had that straight face like she wasn't happy or sad with anything. Maybe the actress doesn't have charisma idk. But I didn't hate her either, so all of this plot with her wanting to go with her bio mother simply destroyed her character for me. And when her bio mother left without her, we couldn't see how she reacted to that. And what about how she made Haengseon and Jaewoo feel? They were hurt by her choice and no apology or conversation whatsoever was showed. It all felt like the writers needed to create some last minute drama for the last episode. It was rushed and badly written. It would've been better if they had stretch the story with the villain instead of ruining her.

- About the OSTs, I loved all of them. But I think they were poorly used. They were played too few and because of that when I listened to them they didn't remind me the scenes, the charaters and the overall vibe of the drama.

Well, that's my review. Although I pointed out only negative aspects of the drama, I think that it was a good series overall. Maybe if they had spent more time showing the main leads together, or if they didn't destroyed the writing with that Hae-e's mother plot in the end, maybe it would've been a better experience. But it was enjoyable anyways and I'd reccomend if you like comedy with some drama.
