This drama is simply a masterpiece. The script is poetic and yet totally relatable. You will laugh, cry, grieve, heal, and just celebrate as each episode unfolds. And the characterization so solid and consistent it seems youve known the characters for decades. And the actors embodied them so well they just became the characters they portray. The musical score, set design, costumes, everything just helps tighten the story. And LSK's distinct voice just feeds into the storyline. This drama is made for him.

Simply put, this drama is a great work of art.

(Btw, it is highly recommended that you read discussions about this drama in forums like soompi so you will gain more info about minute details about this drama, that you may have just glossed over. You will be amazed by how much more interesting this drama is because of those imbedded details from one episode to another that ties everything up like chicken roast being prepared for Christmas. The tandem of this writer's piece and the director's vision and the actor's commitment to their roles seem to be a match made in heaven.)

The actors are cute and they have good chemistry. If I was the sister i would have approved just by looking at how good they look together.

But that's it. The storyline is so flimsy and the physical attraction so overdrawn that it gets rancid too quickly. It got tasteless after some point. There wasnt even a convincing build up of deeper emotional connection between the characters. And the female lead, am sorry to say is just too stupid, I almost couldnt get past the episode when there was much ado about buying a stupid cellphone. It was so irritating, that if the female character could actually have a say about the script she would probably refuse to do it.

For me, the plot and lead character (esp the female lead) got so unreasonably weak, boring and hackneyed I just had to drop it. I just couldnt even pass time watching it. I'd rather sleep.

perfect till ep 6. a shame they had to rewrite eps 7 and 8. I wonder how original would have been

The removal of kim sae ron's character in eps 7 and 8 just ruined the pace and the tight chemistry among the main characters in this drama. the new female character that joined in eps 7 and 8 was such a clumsy addition to the series it was cringe-worthy. wish they found someone else who was equally sharp in the action sequence. Kim sae ron really complemented Woo Do-Hwan and Lee Sang-Yi. It was a perfect trio.

I just continued to watch eps 7 and 8 and finished the series because I immensely enjoyed episodes 1-6. Shame that they had to rewrite the last 2 episodes. I wonder how it would have been if we saw the original version of the ending.
