Loved every single second of this drama! I found this on YouTube, MangoTV with English subtitles, so props for availability and not giving me the runaround. I put this on hold because the plot didn't sound interesting enough, but I boy was I wrong!

I really liked the opening song, an instrumental of the theme song "When I See Your Eyes," when I first clicked on the video and the other OSTs. At first, I really hated the spotty acting from the characters, the MCs, and the people surrounding them, but I later realized that it was done purposefully.

The two MCs, first meet in college and that's where the drama kinda (not really) starts off at. The characters (when they are portrayed as college students) are meant to come off as immature, naive, and cringy (as one would feel if they looked back to the past). Think all the times you stayed up thinking about cringy things you did when you were 13. However, when the characters are shown a couple years later, the acting is smooth and depicted as mature (an obvious sign of growth). The story flits back and forth from the past the present, using flashbacks to tell the story rather than just plain words.

The plot is simple, with few cliches, which is rare these days but has an amazing theme with tons of meaning behind each scene, which is, of course, subjective. Each character grows and you can really see the character development as each episode pasts. It's not draggy, the shots are beautiful (for what I assume is a lower budget drama), and the acting is pretty good.

You'll feel the angst as you try to figure out the plot, but it's well worth watching. You'll find yourself falling in love with this story and when you reach the end, you'll yearn for more. This drama is aimed more towards people who like watching romance, young love, and happy endings.
