I found it really hard to finish this drama. I started maybe 6 months ago, watched halfway, stopped, then started again to finally finish it. The first half was extremely boring: office life issues, ex issues, over 30 women issues, basically elements you see in nearly every other dramas.
Now, I like Sonia but she was so stiff and irritating in maybe the first half. Her chemistry with Tony Yang got much better in the second half but for the most part, I personally just didn't see it. Maybe it was because the story didn't pull me in? The second couple, aka the respective ex's, was alright. I mean, nothing special about them either. The supporting cast was pretty cute- I liked An Lei's (Sonia) tight friendship with her two friends and An Lei's family was convincing in wanting to marry their daughter off.
The directing and the retrospective musing was creative but sometimes the inner monologues became too long and rather detracted from the overall plot.
Some of the music was lovely but didn't really stand out to me for the most part.
No re-watch for me although I would recommend it to those people looking for a slow romance that develops from strangers, to co-inhabitants, to friends, to finally lovers, and also to those who like dramas revolving around ex's, and getting over them, then finding new love. (6/7.25)
