It's only about romance. The story is about the first love process between a famous voice actor (who keeps his face secret) and a musician/composer ( female college student). Very cute. It gave me heart flutters several times. You won't regret watching if you love romance dramas.

Male lead Tan Jianci was swoon worthy. He can act very well, as seen in his other dramas. This laid back drama was almost a waste of his talents because there was no scandoulous heart wrenching misunderstandings. Just pure wholesome goodness here.

If you're interested, I suggest reading the novel as well. I love the drama folled the novel closely in the beginning, but then elaborated more towards the end were the novel seemed leave to the imagination. This is one of the few dramas that I would say I like better than the actual novel.

No impact

This drama was mid.

What I liked:
The cast/acting (Ji Chang Wook is an S tier romance ML. When he loves, I love. When he cries, I cry.)
The potential for revenge/justice against Bang Eunjoo
The friends/lovers/EXs/family convoluted feelings
The background of why the leads broke up
The family town aspect

What I disliked:
The fizzled out romantic ending. The leads could have gotten married, or moved in together, or took some other step to farther their relationship, but no. Some sneaking, kissing and cuddles then BAM: Another long separation. It reminds me of the ending of Because This is My First Life. I understand that SK people are into traveling and fulfilling your dreams at the expense of romance and family, but damn. Cho Samdal could have went with him! Or he could have worked in Seoul. Or just take a 6 month work abroad for the experience. The kicker is he didn't even need the work experience because he was already offered a job in Seoul. Like really, working in Switzerland for 2 years FOR WHAT? Like that's going to make a difference in anything. It was so sudden and illogical.

The lack of fulfilling revenge. Cho Samdal's career was set right again with a nice little bow after 1 thing was revealed. There was no satisfying dramatic reveal of Eunjoo's sly personality, cheating, or catty behavior to everyone. Just a quick, she lied and took money. Oh, Cho Samdal is welcomed back now. What? Where is the drama? I felt heart wretched with worry for what. There was no satisfying, meticulous take down.

To be honest, halfway through, I started skipping through a lot of supporting character scenes. It was slow and I don't think I missed much.

This drama makes me feel like I stuck my hands in water. It felt great for a while, but when I pulled my hands out - there was nothing. It all slipped through my fingers. Nothing of real substance to particularly love and remember.

Best of 2023

You will not regret watching. This is the best kdrama I've watched all year, and it's one of my favorite kdramas of all time. I spam watched every episode. It's high quality. Every episode feels like a movie. The actors are good, so the story is portrayed well. Jo Insung and Han Hyojoo are already some of the best out there, and I love their other works. I want to see the other actors/actresses in other dramas too (especially the young actors/actress).

The scriptwriter well thought out the story. From beginning to end, I was NEVER disappointed. Each episode kept me interested. The symbolism, the romance, the super powers, the everything. I could rave on and on about this. I'm obsessed.
You know one of those dramas that you'll think about for a long time? This is one of those.

I want a second season. Kdrama gods, please.

First, let me say that the cast have done amazing. The younger version and older have done well with what they've been given. My issue is with the story. It's emotional, and I'm usually ok with that. BUT this story brings the emotion to an uncomfortable level. **Major spoilers** I don't like the slight cheating aspect. I don't like the bullying (child to child, dad to daughter, father in law to son in law, wife to female lead, exhusband to wife, etc). I don't like the frequent arrests of ML and FL like that's nothing. The story sucks tbh. It isn't a heart warming romance like I wanted. It makes me depressed. If a story isn't enjoyable, why waste time? I dropped it.
