Nice attempt, but not enough.

This drama is just weak.

The potential is there but is way too unrealistic and unbelievable.

It has all the cliches ( old romance, revenge, two faced relationships, corruption and abuse of power) but they are not developed well.

There's not enough depth in the relationships and I couldn't sense any bond or emotions beyond what the dialogues would tell.

For me was boring and not worth it.

I had high hopes for this one. The two male leads are two of my favourite actors and I know they always provide good performances. So, at that department I was left very satisfied, as the performances from all the actors and actresses were really good. However, the story was boring. It lacked intensity and it didn't ignite any interest. The plot as well wasn't anything special. It actually started slow and continued slow. The ending was good and satisfying, but there was no surprise or interesting twist happening in the whole drama. So, after the tragedy of the past was revealed, the drama had nothing to offer. So, 6.5 out of 10.

I'm not sure why this drama is rated at a 6.3 - it definitely deserves at least a 7, so I am giving it a 7.5 and rounding it up to 8. This drama is pretty straightforward in its story line and plot, its nothing too complex or crazy, but that does not mean it fails to entertain. I was fully engaged for every episode (except the last). The main couple have crazy chemistry, and Bok Su is a wonderful, fun, and charismatic main character who is a delight to watch. The soundtrack was absolutely wonderful, and it was overall a satisfying watch. My only complaint was the last episode was a bit dragged out, and there was an odd camera style during some scenes where the characters looked directly into the camera during really dramatic moments, which was a bit uncomfortable as it felt like a 4th wall break, but it wasn't.

Most effective coming-of-age drama I've seen in a very long time, that with true emotional value analyzes this particular phase of life with much detail and observation which was like an actual mirror that keeps representing ourselves through its very passion and clear understanding about youngsters and teenagers. Smart writing, effective storytelling with thorough observation and some wonderful filmmaking.

Im letting everybody know that i watched this drama 2x and i dont regret,the characters and actors are great,the drama is there although the history is predictable.The chemistry between the two is like banana and peaches.
