This is a drama that touched my heart. Were there a lot of cliches? Yes. Were some scenarios predictable? Yes. So why did I like it so much? The characters! There are so many great characters in this drama that are so endearing and have great character growth. I know everyone talks about the male leads son (yes I know it’s really his orphaned nephew) and how adorable he is. And I loved watching him push the main leads together, he was very cute and funny. But I found the main leads best friends quite interesting too. The way the female leads best friend has her friends back no matter what and always has a sassy comeback to anyone challenging her just made me love her. And the male leads best friend has tremendous character growth which I just loved. I also loved the female leads parents and how supportive they were of her. I know most of these characters are very cliche and typical in this type of drama. But there was just something about them that drew me in.

Even though the storyline wasn’t unique with amnesia, a cold CEO with a past trauma, a warm hearted female lead that heals him, an opposing family member and a rival female that causes misunderstandings, I still found myself binge watching it. The pacing and flow are impeccable with just enough angst, romance, and intrigue. And it was just so well acted too! The characters were very likable and the angst was pretty balanced. It wasn’t full of so much angst that I wanted to scream and pull my hair out. But it wasn’t so light and fluffy that it was boring either. It was just right. There are misunderstandings but they don’t last overly long. It stays interesting with a kidnapping, some car chases, hidden pasts are revealed, memories are restored, and there are several cute couples.

If it’s a romcom then we HAVE to address the romance. I hate it when reviews barely touch on this when romance is the main focus of the drama. The main leads (and even the second couple) had great chemistry with passionate kisses. There’s princess carrying, back hugs, piggyback rides, and lots of very realistic kisses. The romance in this drama was done very well. It’s not super spicy and steamy but it’s not one of those shows with just a slight romance either. I’d say it’s right in the middle.

So why didn’t I rate it a perfect 10? I took off a point for the excessive amount of cliches in this drama. It wasn’t very original or unique. I also took off another point because the whole drama builds up towards the moment we all find out what really happened during the car accident that caused the male leads amnesia, then they let us down. He wrecks his car and wakes up to the female lead explaining everything that happened to him in the past. Then it’s over, there’s no confrontation with the villain, we never even see their faces. Those responsible for the tragedy are never seen or heard of throughout the drama. And their demise is never brought up either. The buildup throughout the drama was huge so I really felt let down. So why do I have a score of 8.5 when I took off 2 points? I had to give back half a point because of the great ending and how they gave us a lot of time with the leads as a couple. I despise those dramas where they get together at the last minute then it’s over. Thankfully this isn’t one of those dramas. Even though it’s a bit cliche it has a lot of memorable characters that will touch your heart.

I would definitely recommend this drama to anyone that likes a sweet romance, lovable side characters, an adorable kid that will steal your heart, low angst, and doesn’t mind a cliche storyline as long as it’s well acted. If you’re looking for lots of angst or something that will make you cry or something that is full of action and suspense then this is not the drama for you. It’s light, fluffy, and cute with just enough angst to make it interesting. It’s no masterpiece by any means but I found it quite endearing and was touched by it. I would definitely recommend watching it.
