Why didn't I have it on my watch list before?
When I find a masterpiece like this one I wish I started watching kdramas before.Although I am usually more into funny rom-coms, sometimes I need something more serious and that's when I find the true worth-watching series.
No flaws, no useless content or scenes. All characters follow their path, find their way and development.
The plot is so perfect that I would have been ok even with a sad ending, but the authors gifted us an unexpexted happy ending giving way to pure romance.
If I really want to find a defect, the few kissing scenes were not so passionate, but I could live with that.
Lee Jun Ho astonishing...almost beyond the acting of Seo In Guk in "The smile has left your eyes" (which I found a materpiece as much as this drama, but at times pissed me off a little more).

Smooth as silk
Apparently nothing really happens in this cdrama, but once you get started you won't get enough of them. A simple love story that will entertain you with complicit glances, irony and a lot of tenderness. If we go beyond the sport storyline, they are an avarage boy falling in love with an avarage girl, living their story in a very realistic way, without silly missunderstings, without useless dramas or traumas.And..please tell me that the two main leads dated in real life because they had such a great chemistry!

If you are looking for an horror drama, this is not for you but...
What's scary in this drama are not the so called monsters but the astonishing depicture of human nature. All the cast did a great job, to the point that ML and FL may seem the weaker ones (for me the most stereotyped and unchanging during the course of the story, but well played anyway).If you are looking for an horror drama, maybe this is not for you (it's rather a splatter one); but if you want to watch a story about society, human behaviour and relationships in hardship, you won't be disappointed.

All we need is love
Romance drama with capital R. The story is a little complicated, time shifts make it sometimes hard to follow, but if you are looking for romance you absolutely cannot miss it!The chemistry between ML and FL is awsome and their acting is sooo good. I could feel every single feeling they were representing.
Also the theme of the outcast is well portrayed and describes in a very realistic way how too many teenagers, but also adults, feel about themselves and the people around them. Maybe this aspect was solved in a too simplistic and rushed way, but this because the focus of the drama was mainly love and predestination I think.

What's wrong with these Asian screenwriters??
I started watching this movie while I was ironing clothes and I didn't have any particular expectation. Halfway through the film I grabbed the iron backwards and burbed my hand so much I was captured by the plot, I was enjoying the funny scenes and the acting..and then it happened again..Ok sending ML away and having him disappear at a certain point, it may happen, I can take it...but why did he have to die???
In Western films and series, the great problem would have been the reaction of the best friend when realizing that the boy she likes fell in love with FL and was reciprocated. Here she acts so mature (as they always do in kdramas) and friendship is saved, so why did it have to end like this???
I think I will watch this film over and over again, but alway stopping at the train station scene. A goodbye is always better than a farewell.

Just relax and enjoy this funny drama
If you take it for what it is, a light and superficial love story, you'll enjoy watching it. It made me laugh and smile several times. But if you pay a closer attention you will notice that there is no really positive relationship, characters are either selfish and self-centred or childish. Maybe the only mature character is Solo's daughter. Anyway this drama never bored me and I found the male lead really convicing un his alternation of arrogant stubborness and cute naivety. That's the reason for a high rating.Was this review helpful to you?
