First of all, I really enjoyed watching this drama. That is up until the last episode. I agree with some of the other reviews that all the drama is in the last episode and it feels kind of crammed in there.

Now if that lst plot point had been entirely excluded and it would have been just about two men fighting for the woman they love, then I would have liked the drama, and especially the ending a lot more. Sure, it is a super over-done trope at this point but quite well executed I would think. Either way, the ending was just not it for me personally.

As for the dynamics with the two male leads: I really liked the relationship between Gaeddong and Soo from the beginning and how their story progressed. I was a little sad to see the lack of interactions but that already made it clear to me that they wouldn' t be endgame anyways.
As for Gaeddong and Hoon, I grew to like them at least a bit more than at the start but my main problem was with Hoon. His character was so hot and cold towards Gaeddong and she just let him trample all over her sometimes. I get that he is of higher status than her (and he took her in but not very enthusiastically) but that never stopped her from standing up for herself in other situations. It especially bothered me when they got noticable closer and suddenly her pushes her away again. I get it was most likely because he noticed his feelings for her after she confessed and he knew she wasn't attainable to him but still, he didn't have to be that cold towards her when he was her closest friend at that point.

Anyways, overall it is a pretty solid drama and I liked the story for the most part but I don't think I will be revisiting this one. The acting was great, though I did not cry which is a pretty good sign that I wasn't as inversted as I usually would be.

I mostly watched this for Byeon Wooseok (no one is surprised) and I was not disappointed. If his character's storyline had been more the focus, I would have definitely given this a higher rating. That plotline just seemed a lot more well thought out to me and would have certainly made the drama even more enjoyable, but alas, it was only a secondary plotline.


Edit to add: the synopsis on here and on viki are very misleading in my opinion, which is most likely why I wasn't super happy with the ending.
