Just finished watching it for the 2nd time. This is one of my favourite, realistic romance dramas.. I personally got sucked into its rather unique pace and seeing how the characters and different relationships among them developed.

The focus of the plot was clear from the start (from the title, even) and they stayed true to it throughout! People from different backgrounds, with different personalities can perceive love differently and make personal choices that might not make sense to others. How can that perception change when you've found someone you want to be with, even though you're different? How much can we understand each other, what can we learn, how far should we compromise while we're still happy and true to ourselves and to our partner/friend/parent?

These are just some of the questions that I found this drama to be exploring and consequently made me ask myself, too. The performances of the actors also elevated it, with Yang Se Jong especially standing out for his charismatic portrayal of Jung Sun.

I am taking away some points because:
1) (trying not to spoil) A cliche that was used to get a certain result out of the leads felt too cheap, the writer could have done better
2) Some unfortunate elevator-style music choice
3) Poor directing approach at times, which made some scenes feel out of place/choppy

Overall, if you open your mind to a kind of story that might be about people different to you exploring love, you will enjoy this and still find plenty of relatable content and food for thought.
