Kyungwooui Soo

A very realistic love story - with lots of nice messages peppered through the show The chemistry and story lines of the main leads and the side characters are all very warm and fulfilling. Plus, all the different love stories are very unique! Even though I pined for the second lead - the write has given proper closure to his character as well. In real life you do get anxious and hold back often - and that aspect so beautifully portrayed. That's why you should give this show a chance - it'll warm up to you!

We start with Wooyeon, a girl who is hung up on a guy she had a crush on in High School, who rejected her and flew to US. The guy who rejected her keep hovering around her all the time acting like her boyfriend and giving her hopes all the time. It actually felt like he is playing with her feelings.

They only have a start in their "whatever relationship" when the second lead comes along. Who is the best guy anybody would ask for!

When it looks like Wooyeong is finally ready to move on, Lee Soo (her highschool crush) confesses his feelings as if to say he doesn't want her to be happy with someone who is actually better than him.

He always makes her cry and belittle her but the stupid female lead keep choosing him.

The thing is, these main leads have no chemistry at all between them and they both feel so cardboard when it comes to acting. Neither is good at portraying emotions. They just say their lines.

I honestly felt bad to the second lead as it felt as if he was carrying the drama on his shoulder. He deserves much better than this monstrosity.

Such a waste of time. And annoyed at the pathetic female lead.

I've watched this entire series through to the end because I'm learning Korean, and it was definitely helpful in at least teaching me the phrases of "I like(d) you" and "I love(d) you" which are repeated throughout the show ad nauseum.

The show isn't all bad. I enjoyed the photography and the calligraphy depicted in the show. The side story of the young woman born poor with the boyfriend who would do anything for her is empathetic at least. There were some genuine touching moments in that regard. There were some nice comedic moments as well, but they were too seldom.

So, what isn't there to like about this series? It romanticizes toxic relationships/infatuations to the point where the viewer has to question why anyone would put themselves through 10 years of self-loathing wondering why the other person doesn't like them back.

I honestly could not root for the main couple let alone a love triangle that forces the male lead to confess his feelings due to jealousy. Even to the end, you can see how toxic the main relationship is, and it is disheartening.

I know there is still some taboo in Korea to discuss psychological and/or emotional problems. Perhaps, if they focused more on their personal growth apart, I would have found the series more engaging. For those who want to just cheer on an ill-fated Kdrama relationship, you can take a stab at this show. Thanks for reading.

Terrible drama!! The female leads have serious character issues, She was playing with others emotion ! And Male leads have Psychological disorder, What a lunatic !! Disgusting.

I found this drama to be quite engaging to the least and perhaps the fact that it was not a typical romantic drama of a very strong writong but it was still enjoyable to watch. I loved how characters played their roles in such an organic fashion that it felt so real, they were growing altogether as every episode went by. I got to experience a collaboration of beauty, romance, photography, calligraphy,relationships and finally reality-life itself and that will be my takeway from this drama, just how beautifully everything was intertwined together and separately at the same time. I am so happy I chose to watch this drama, will cherish this one for quite some time :-)
