This is a realistic potrayal of modern love relationships. It is refreshing in showing that love is beautiful sweet and even exciting at the begininning. But relationship takes effort on both sides to keep it alive and communication of the right sort to sustain it through hard times. Thats how Yeo Reum's first love fell apart. At the time Tae Ha couldnt juggle both his work commitments and his focus on their relationship. Then something happen (which eventually gets revealed) that makes Yeo Reum to decide to end their relationship. The 2 meet again but Yeo Reum is already in a stable relationship with a nice and successful plastic surgeon.Tae Ha has not gotten over his feelings and wish to rekindle their relationship. So far the plotline is different and sets it apart from typical k drama romances. However alot of things didnt appeal to me. My main problem is Yeo Reum stringing along both males. At times i felt she was unfaithful and unfair to both men and to herself. So Yeo reum is not the heroine you want to root for. Im not asking for perfection in a female lead. But her selfishness makes me hard to care about her. I just feel sad for both males and that continuous limbo they are all in. Theres so much unhealthy lies (whether lie by omission or supposingly white lies). It makes me feel like realtionships are tiring and bitter. Which isnt what i would like to take out of dramas. I know love and relationship isnt all flowery all the time but the plot and the characters really move to the extreme unpleasantness. If you share my views than most probably you wish you didnt watch this drama. I rated a. Generous 7.0/10 overall because of the acting. Eric and Sung Joon were intense and good in portrayin their character. Im ambivalent on Jung Yu Mi. To be fair it maybe because i really dislike her character in the drana i couldnt find much love for the actress. So really before you start watching you need to ask yourself if this is your cup of tea. Else the bitter taste leaves a bad aftertaste ..
