I just feel that the story loses its focus.

This drama initially captivated my attention, particularly due to the compelling portrayal of the main couple, whose humor and charm were undeniable. Junpyo adeptly maintains an outward facade of a mature, affluent individual to his peers, yet beneath this veneer, he grapples with the absence of proper parental affection and struggles with his own emotional turmoil. His profound affection for Jandi, who also contends with conflicting emotions toward Junpyo, forms the crux of their dynamic, as she vacillates between disdain and affection, akin to navigating a precarious tightrope of emotions. Their interactions are imbued with delightful moments, showcasing their palpable chemistry.

However, my enjoyment of the drama waned as it progressed, primarily due to the succession of contrived plot developments, such as Jandi's association with the model boy, Junpyo's forced marriage, and his subsequent memory loss in the final episode. These narrative twists gradually eroded the natural chemistry between the main characters, transitioning the tone from lighthearted and engaging to somber and disheartening. By the conclusion, I found myself rooting for Jandi to pursue a relationship with Jihoo, as their chemistry appeared more genuine and enduring, while the connection between Jandi and Junpyo seemed strained and fatigued.

In hindsight, I believe the drama would have benefited from a more concise narrative, spanning perhaps 12 to 16 episodes, to maintain the integrity of the central romance and prevent the dilution of its emotional impact.
