Painful.
I don't even know where to start with this review *sigh* I started this show for the noona ( 누나) romance. I do believe that the FL & ML had amazing chemistry and were so adorable together, but once the mum started nagging and actively trying to seperate them the show was instantly ruined for me. The mum really made finishing this drama feel like a chore. All her scenes were just painfully unbearable.
I don't understand why this was made into a drama when it could've all been covered in a 2 hour movie?? A lot of episodes felt like filler eps.
The soundtrack was TERRIBLE. I never want to hear 'stand by your man' again in my life and despite previously loving 'save the last dance for me' -- I think I will now skip it whenever it comes on my shuffle playlist. I have nightmares about this soundtrack.
I thought the sexual harassment storyline was pointless since the resolution sucked and was super unsatisfying. The scenes with Ms Kang were annoying asf. How she was constantly throwing herself at Joon-hee and then the way she treated Jin-a when she heard they were together. I wanted to see some kinda growth with her character but there was nothing.
The saddest part of this drama for me (apart from the way the mum treated Joon-hee) was the fall out between Jin-a and Joon-hee's sister. I loved their friendship was much and to see that deteriorating throughout the mid to later half of the show made me so sad.
I'll never rewatch this drama again so I rated it quite low. I didn't HATE-hate it but I didn't love it either. I think the show was just meh overall to me. I'm kinda torn between whether I'm happy I watched/finished this or whether I'm upset I wasted my time?? Like I said it was painful to finish and probably would've been more enjoyable had it been a movie.
