Finally Lee Joon Hyuk in a primarily romantic drama, and he's the lead??!! yes please.

Story:
Plot turned out to be quite simple there was no big conflict to overcome like in many dramas. It did focus less on the medical aspect. It was more chosen as a background setting for a rom-com. An easy drama to easily breeze through. Focused more on typical day-to-day situations one faces. Leaned more on the realistic side at times which I liked. I wasn't forced to skip because I felt absolutely no dragging or filler episodes, something new happened all the time. Script and conflicts seemed repetitive, unsure if it was intentional. Different characters affect by similar situations always brought up and resolved the same way. It was a a surface-level type of drama with a little bit of everything.

Acting/Cast:
The leads' scenes were very wholesome especially seeing the ML change as he became more expressive and open towards the FL . Chemistry occasionally lacked, and their contrasting personas didn't help at all as it made it a bit more obvious. The FL sometimes came off a bit too strong that she overpowered the ML in scenes together making him seem aloof. Lee Jae Wook was made a bit too monotone in the beginning, but he was good at expressing himself through his eyes. It was the main reason the viewer is able to acknowledge his growing love for Woo Bo Young. His smile was everything! I later realized him being so monotone actually made his actions towards the FL so much more especial. I just wished the viewer could have gotten to know a bit more about his personal life because many time he felt like a side character, two-dimensional. All-in-all I like how the romance evolved from admiration to well, love.

I had a love-hate relationship towards Shin Min Ho. The writer made him really impulsive and hypocritical. I mean all the characters were hypocritical at some point. They all grew more likable as the drama progressed.
