it started out great - i was certain it could climb up to be one of my favourites this year but god this drama really ruined itself.
BIG BAD:
- who decided on these last scripts?? so much unnecessary, undeveloped and unreasonable angst between the main couple in the later episodes. honestly it just took out the enjoyment for me. the ending, the whole plot line for the main couple turned out to be surprisingly shallow and lazy.
- putting in female characters just for what exactly? certainly not to be their own developed, interesting characters.
SMALL BAD:
- in the beginning the chemistry between the main couple was... awesome! later i just didn't feel it. ironic since i imagine getting together should bring more fluff or something...
- this drama went from me being excited over every new episode and rewatching the previous episodes to me not being able to tolerate it sober bc it's such a shitshow. i'm sorry for being crude - i just don't know how to express my disappointment otherwise.
SMALL GOOD:
- the relationship between man and type. look at this direct communication and conversations about feelings to avoid stupid misunderstandings - beautiful. they got a few episodes but their development was so much more rational than that of the main couple.
- i did like the friendships of this show. thank god they did not throw that in the trash like they did with the main couple.
BIG GOOD:
- the soundtrack. quite nice. :)

an ambitious drama that delivered on some parts, on some not as much. BIG BAD
- i don't mind romance - for the most part i enjoy it but sometimes it was forced down our throats at the cost of characters' personalities and plot. the drama came to be very repetitive towards the end which is my main issue, really.
SMALL BAD
- the ending wasn't bad, per se, but i wished it explained more. too many questions left. who is the writer? and how exactly does the writing process go? what about the "changed" scenes?
SMALL GOOD
- aesthetically this was pretty epic. nice colours, a lot of pretty flowers and all that jazz.
BIG GOOD
- character development was insane!
- acting was pretty good, too!
- the whole idea behind the story is very intriguing.

BIG BAD
- the plot was wishy-washy. definitely not the thing i stayed here for.
- there are multiple plot lines, not all of them very interesting, therefore, the drama often is bordering on losing focus. i sometimes lacked the strength to not smash the skip button.
SMALL BAD
- the ending was a bit eh. didn't ruin the whole thing for me, but i hoped they perhaps would do something different.
NEUTRAL
- the entire show is very melodramatic. the music fits that mood.
- i haven't seen much of gossip girl but it is indeed very reminiscent of it, especially in the earlier episodes.
SMALL GOOD
- personally i prefer character-driven stories. this is one of them. i thought the main characters were for the most part interesting, although sometimes they got a bit too one-note. wished they were developed a bit more. however, ngl i got so attached that i may or may not have cried at some point
- acting was alright. i could feel the emotions.
- joy. :)
