I think this story deviated from the typical c-drama themes of unnecessary conflict. And I loved that!

The story was very real and very honest. The characters were flawed but likable and easy to connect with. The chemistry was great!

I can particularly relate these characters because I know what's its like to be consumed with work that you have no personal life. And for things at work to be going badly regardless. And I appreciate the lessons that they tried to shine light on. That consistent effort eventually pays off but overworking yourself can be dangerous.

I'm surprised it took me this long to find out about this show and after watching it I am very satisfied.

I started this series hopeful because the production and actors and to say I was disappointed is understating.

I've never watched a more self-pitying, self indulgent and whiny show. Its so obvious that creators were begging for tears. Watching felt like someone kept poking me in the eye to make me cry but the result wasn't tears it just left me sore.

And how are two depressed people supposed be in a relationship? Make it make sense! And everything they have been through they just want to go back to the warzone???? What, is that supposed to be heroic???

And don't even get me started on the awful dialogue. Half the time its just painfully awkward silences. No one talks like that.

If they were trying to make a soft romantic tear jerker like hidden love and the first frost, they didn't just miss the mark they flew millions of miles passed it.

Now I'm not one to comment too much on a show when I just started it but 6 episodes in and I'm not sure I'm going any further with this one. I feel like this show was overhyped, I kept seeing clips on youtube, hence why I decided to watch in the first place. And it has so far been underwhelming and I have so much to say about it.

Lets start with the first episode, yes it was slightly intriguing thanks to the cinematic flashbacks but the entire episode feels incomplete. If I was judging the show by the first episode, I wouldn't have been convinced to go any further.

Another thing is that the plot is too convenient. How the main leads meet, how the ML convinces the FL to work with him after a five minute conversation. How they easily solved a twenty something year old mystery in a few days. Its like the writers are not even trying to convince us.

And why are the characters so unlikable? Is it the ML who was playing mysterious for 3 episodes only to tell us his entire life story in like the 4th episode. Or the FL who is so inconsistent, strong and brave one minute and then crying like a scared kitten the next. And don't even get me started on that thirteen guy!

Conclusion, I'm disappointed.
