i was hesitant to watch this drama after reading some of the reviews, but if you're in the same boat as i was, i would recommend watching it. the first few episodes were a little slow for my liking, but as the drama went on, i fell in love with many of the characters. i rooted for the main couple, i wanted to kill the ex and the fathers, i loved the sisters and overall rooted for a happy ending to all the storylines. i guess that's all you can want from a drama... interest in a resolution. the acting was also pretty good, with a few blips (the main actor wasn't so amazing at showing sadness and the fake cries were quite cringe-inducing). i also LOVED the inclusion of the son... i find this lacking in many other dramas including single parents. it's usually overshadowed by the romance, but it was pretty well incorporated in this one.

now onto the negatives. i can't talk about this drama without mentioning its never-ending looped soundtrack. seriously. the same few songs play over and over and over again - to the point of them losing all meaning when used over a dramatic scene to convey meaning. the songs themselves aren't bad... but you may just want to bang your head against a wall after hearing "No Direction" for the 5 millionth time. moreover, the constant repetition of the scenes with the ex and the main characters' fathers sitting down and plotting ways for them to be married despite her having already broken up with him and moved on with someone else is tiring to say the least. i think they could've come up with a more interesting conflict to cover the latter half of the drama. it was just ridiculous after a certain point, as you knew it was never going to work and was just a waste of screen time.

despite my little rant, i would still say this drama is well-worth the watch. perhaps not the best one out there, but still filled with many sweet and heart warming moments that i would like to think outweigh the bad.
