Let me just get this out if the way: I. LOVE. ERIC. MUN.!!!! I watched this after AOHY bc I've rediscovered my fondness for him but man, did this drama solidified my love for him. He does intensity SO WELL and I loved every minute of it! Que Sera Sera is the very definition of angsty-melo kdrama. If you wanna watch some extreme angsty romance, this is for you!
(SPOILER/TRIGGER WARNING: Beware though as there was a very mild display of sexual assault and violence in a scene midway through the drama)

The good:
- acting!!! All four main leads did such a great job at portraying their characters unapologetically! Eric was so intense and just so...perfect for the role!! Granted, he was still new to acting during this but he still delivered so well, I couldn't even imagine anyone playing the role other than him. Yumi was so perfect for the role of innocent yet frank Han Eun Soo. There were some embarrassing things her character said yet Yumi delivered in such an endearing way that u don't even wanna feel embarrassed for her, u just empathize. I won't elaborate on the two second keads but they also did such wonderful jobs!
- THE CHEMISTRY!!! AHHHH I never expected to fall for these two's chemistry SO HARD. I watched this despite just finishing AOHY where I loved Eric and SHJ's chemistry, I was not fond of Jung Yu Mi either but omgosh these two created magic!! The innocent Han Eun Soo + intense Kang Tae Joo was just chemistry explosion!!! I wish it had more lovey dovey and make out scenes from them but alas. Good thing they were paired up again on Discovery of Love!!!
- characters are all flawed and aware of it. No one is playing the victim and no one is oblivious about anything.
- the drama, plot and script are so unapologetic. It's like, here's out story, whether u like it or not, it's up to you but this is how we want it done and we ain't changing anything about it. There were scenes where I just like, oh f*ck THEY WENT THERE!!!!

The not-so-good:
- Yumi's hair - what the actual f was that??? I didn't find it that bad for the first 10 eps but it got worse!!! It didn't even look good in the first place yet it got even worse as the drama closed the ending!!
- too angsty by ep 12. Just...so much misery. I mean, I liked it but... it's just too painful. Esp since there's no breather. It just keeps going and it hurts.
- the ending. UGHHH. Not bad; not good either: it has that kind of ending. After all the pain I've been through, unassurance is what I'll get?? Oh hell nah. Good thing eric & yumi reunited in a new drama years later!

This review is messy bc i lack sleep today. This drama is now one of my faves mainly bc of the intensity of KTJ & HES! I'll definitely rewatch up to ep 10 lmao! I am now a fan of Jung Yumi and DEFINITELY a fan of Eric Mun! Ahjussi, pls hurry up with your Shinhwa comeback and do another drama for us after!!
