I usually don't write reviews, but I felt the need to do so for this drama.I mostly don't watch melodramas, they're too... melodramatic, I guess? So, yeah, not a fan of the genre, but I loved this drama and it was THE best melodrama I've watched so far (not that I've watched many, but yeah...)I "walked into " this drama not really knowing what to expect, I hadn't seen the genre of the drama or read comments or reviews and had barely read the synopsis, the only thing I really knew about the drama was that Junho was the male lead, and since I had never seen him act I was very curious. What I didn't expect was his acting to be that good! I was awestruck, I forgot who he was. I genuinely forgot he was Junho, I could only see him as Lee Kang Doo. I felt like I was feeling what he was feeling, his suffering, his desperation, his happiness, everything. So yeah, his acting was one of the reasons why I kept watching the drama and decided to write this review. Another reason was that I felt like this drama portrayed very accurately the "consequences" of such a tragedy. All of it seemed natural from the character's actions and the way they thought, to the way the plot developed. I liked how they included everyone who was affected by the accident , from Lee Kang Doo and Moon Soo, who were survivors, to the victims families and even the architect in charge of the design and his family.Anyway, I'm not very good at making reviews, but yeah... I really recommend this drama.

I really love this drama! This was the drama that made me start watching k-dramas! Once I started watching this drama I could not stop. I watched all the 8 episodes that had came out at the time in one day, which led to staying up until 3am... I hated that I had to wait one week for new episodes every week, but the wait was always worth it (at least for me).
I really liked the plot, even though there were times when you could see that the probability of what had happened in the drama happening in real life was 1:10000, but I think that's part of the drama's magic. The characters were great, Song Joong-Ki and Song Hye-Kyo had great chemistry as well as Jin Goo and Ji Won. I really liked Minseok's character as well as Onew's. I also wasn't expecting Onew's character to develop the way it did and to show a such an emotional, raw side. And I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by his performance. Overall, I loved this drama and I definitely recommend it!

I was super excited when I discovered they did a season 2, but ended up disappointed.

Korn x Knock : I feel like some of the conflict was unnecessary, like the cheating thing in Korn's case, like why? In season 1 we see all of the sh*t he goes through to get Knock and then cheats on him? Not to mention that it doesn't fit his personality. I mean they could have just done the classic misunderstanding when one of them thinks the other cheated but in reality he didn't. However, I did like that they had to get the approval of the parents, to me it made sense that they had to overcome that in order to have a "happy ever after".

Yihwa x Cho: I feel like the whole cheating thing with them was more acceptable. Why? Not because Yihwa only kissed Art, but because her reason was a bit more understandable? I mean, both her and Cho are super busy and rarely have time together. I understand that maybe because of that she would feel a bit lonely or something, and Art was with her everyday and showed her kindness (not that Cho didn't, he was a sweetheart) and she confused her feelings of being comforted for love.

Farm x Rit : I. Am. So. Mad! Why the f*ck did Farm end up with Bright?! I seriously thought that guy was ancient history after the end of season 1 when Farm took revenge on him. I was so happy when Rit appeared, because I genuinely thought that he was gonna make Farm see that it's okay to open your heart and love someone after what the stupid doctor did to him. I kept my hopes up until the end, thinking that the whole thing with Rit and Bright was gonna make Farm realize that he didn't feel anything for Bright, but for Rit. Also, Rit is an absolute angel, not only did forgive Farm for cheating on him, but also he let him go. To me, that was real love, he was soo hurt by Farm and he still put Farm's happiness above his.

In the end, it wasn't bad, but it could have been so much better if the storyline made a bit more sense in some aspects. The 1st season is better tho ????
