"SUNJAEAAAA"

Alright, just finished watching and I'm going directly to the point: 8.5 cause byeon woo seok, ost, thematic.

I've seen maaaany reviews talking about how the plot could've been different, where the female lead would've been way less childish and the male lead wouldn't had been a golden retriever type of boy.
Yeah, in my opinion Im Sol was really childish, and couldn't even think of a proper plan to stay with Sunjae without avoiding him or without him being killed at the end.

I know that she tried (poorly, sorry) but she gave up so easily... even Sun Jae and Kim Tae Sung (whose lost their memories completely) were the ones who saved the whole situation (Kim Tae Sung mostly)

Furthermore, the villain (i guess we can all agree) was so bad portrayed. Like, is there anyone here that cared about his presence? Actually, he didn't even had a presence LOL?
He could've had been way better, but i completely forgot about his existence cause for me, he just wasn't there.

But wait, there's more! Sun Jae's friends were...hmm unnecessary. I mean, just like the "villain", they could've had been useful in many aspects, but they weren't.
Im Sol's family (besides her grandma) didn't added much to the story too.

And coming back to the plot, i got sad when Im Sol were able to walk again. This phrase feels awful but i think the story could've been such much better if she stayed in her wheelchair... It would be included and it would give her a stronger personality.

Regardless, i cannot deny that i laughed A LOT, mostly because of Sun Jae!
C'mon y'all, his expressions and reactions were everything! His golden retriever energy that I've seen that many of you didn't liked, was the cherry on top for me.
Plus, the OST were amaaazing!!! I liked almost every damn song.

Finalizing, actors were 10/10 Woo Seok is wonderful and Kim Hye Yoon too, but she would definitely shine if Im Sol were a less drama queen and childish character. Song Geon-hee (Kim Tae Sung) did really well too and his character deserved more.
