The reason I decided to write a review for this drama is the amount of harsh reviews we have here. You see, I don't completely disagree with them - there are a bunch of plot holes, you'll see yourself asking "why?" and "but how?" many times and there'll be frustration in the process. The main female lead has some selfishness problems, the pacing is slowish and there are repeatitive scenes. Did you give up already? I hope not, because I'm still backing this show. At least, a bit more than people here. And I'll tell you why.
I do love the premise of the drama, even with much wasted potential, the set-up here is enough to bring a touch of uniqueness to it. The romance, which is the central matter, despite everything, is very really sweet and you are in for a lovey-dovey drama. The aching atmosphere is enriched by the beautiful soundtrack. It got me very interested in the Habaek universe and I expect to read the manhwa anytime soon because the story inspires you to find more about it. And it was my first drama with Nam Joo-hyuk and now he’s my ultimate crush.
So, is it a masterpiece? Nope. Is it any worse than some of the beloved clichés worshipped by this website? “Noper”. Had I read the reviews here, I wouldn’t have watched it and because I did, I know it would be a shame. It’s a fluffy past-time, if that’s what you’re looking for, go for it :)
