Once you get past the first episode things get going. What I liked about it: it's short on tropes. These aren't perfect characters that are the same from beginning to end, always show up at the right time, and always know the dashing and cool thing to say. They are flawed, hesitant, take one step forward then two steps back. They don't have it all figured out, even by the end. They're just trying to get through life, love and heartache like the rest of us.

Don't worry though, it's a still very much a kdrama, with the stuff we all love to see when we watch them.
