This show was sweet. How to describe? Simple and easy-going. But be prepared to cry as much as our characters, since there’s no real ‘plot’ keeping the show going - it’s pretty much based around their feelings and growth.

Though I'll tell you one annoying thing this show does is how every ‘cliffhanger’ Never. Does. Anything!
The episode gets to a critical moment, then boom, freeze, end of episode. And then in the next episode, the exciting 'thing' never happens!! I made up a fun game before I started a following episode, called ‘Guess What Interruption Or Random Thing Can Stop This Plot Point From Happening’. Ugh the writers are such trolls

But most of all, I never want to hear the words 나때문에 (nattaemun-e) “because of me” / “it’s all my fault” EVER again. Trust me, if you watch it too - you won't either.

I mean the show’s cute and all but so many things would be cleared up so much faster if they just COMMUNICATED! The amount of time it took for things to get revealed was ridiculous. For e.g. you have no idea how long it took just for people to find out that she was in a COMA. Our female lead is returning home after 13 years all dazed and confused with the mentality of a 17 year old, and nobody asked? Ever? And she never brought it up?!
When it got 'revealed', I was like "I can't believe it took this long to reveal this basic fact, they LIVE TOGETHER"

Also the sheer amount of 'coincidences' was a bit unrealistic, even for kdrama standards.
And don't even get me started on all the repeated storylines

Despite all this though, I shouldn't undermine the enjoyment I got from watching it. One thing I wasn't expecting to get out of this drama, this feeling of gratefulness? To see someone who had 13 years of her life taken away from her, all that time she lost.......kudos to her for being happy a lot of the time after losing all those precious years, damn. I don't know about other viewers, but that's the main thing I took from it: to be thankful that we are living and that we do have time ahead of us.

Other things that were refreshing:
- no villain wrecking havoc
- the male lead’s best friend was a woman who WASN'T presented as a romantic second lead
- no lead chases the other first, they fall in love slowly at the same time as they heal each other's trauma
- Jennifer's character. enough said

The show also has a lovely finale to remind you why you enjoyed the show in the first place. Because my fave part was whenever everybody got together in the house like one big happy family <3

In short: this drama is nothing spectacular, but it's nice :)
