Overhyped

This review is purely my opinion and I'm not setting out to offend anyone–it's mainly to deter myself from ever trying to rewatch this bc I reread my own reviews before I rewatch/try to complete things.

I went into this expecting it to be incredible, and was thoroughly disappointed.
It started out okay, but didn't really grip me and I considered dropping it. Based on good reviews, I kept going and it got slightly better by around ep 3-5, then it just got worse and worse to the point I skimmed the last 2 and a half episodes because it was so boring and I wanted it to be over.
The ML was annoying and toxic, the plot was questionable at times and humour was just making me cringe. The second ML was annoying and the fact that he kept stripping was so, so awful and unfunny. Overall, this drama was a waste of time and I really, really wish I could have loved it, but I hated it. The only redeeming qualities were some of the soundtrack was amazing, and **MILD SPOILER BELOW**
the interaction with the second potential dad was lovely and well written imo, it messed with my emotions and was a great addition to the story.

Overall, I would not rewatch, and wish I never watched.

It had its moments

I started this drama in December 2023 and have only just finished it in November 2024. The reason it took me almost a year to finish this, is because despite its strong start, it was painfully boring in the middle and dragged on too much. I'd actually decided to drop it on ep 12 after suffering through 3-4 eps and finally giving up, but yesterday I suddenly felt like finishing it, and although the last 4 eps were nothing special, they were decent enough and I got through them.
Now as much as the story was a let down after ep 8 imo, the two leads are so, so well casted and adorable and I love them together. She is so sweet and admirable and he is brilliant and had good character development. It's a lovely story, albeit one that drags on a bit but with two leads who I was rooting for the whole time and who I loved to see interact with each other. Although I initially dropped this, I'm actually quite glad I finished it! The soundtrack was really lovely too!

A masterpiece

One of my all time favourite dramas. The soundtrack is my favourite ever and I regularly listen to it, it is so beautiful. Every single episode ended with a cliffhanger and I couldn't stop watching--this drama was a real obstacle during assignment week when I watched! The writing was incredible and lovely and the acting was brilliant. I loved both leads so, so much. This story made me laugh and cry and everything in between and I loved the ending so much. I would pay an exorbitant price to be able to swallow a pill and forget this drama so I could watch it again if that were possible. 10/10 stars is not enough, this drama is a work of art and I loved it more than words can adequately describe.

Do not miss out on this drama!

This drama made me smile so much. It's a story of healing and love and heartache. It's hilarious and sad and beautiful. I loved it very much. This is one of those dramas I know I will rewatch again, chasing that feeling of watching it for the first time that I will sadly not feel again in quite the same way. But in the words of Winnie the Pooh: "How lucky am I to have had something that makes saying goodbye so hard."

Run, don't walk to watch this drama. I don't think it's for everyone, but if this drama is for you then I know you will love it as much as I did.

Entertaining, heartfelt, slow at times

This drama had depth and heartache and layered characters with complicated lives and relationships. This drama did an excellent job navigating difficult topics and although certain plot lines dragged on at times, it was still brilliant and well executed. I'd say Hwang In Youp is my favourite actor and he delivered a great performance as usual in this drama! His expressions are so great and he was the perfect choice for his character. Everyone else was great too, but he really shone brightly! Definitely give this drama a chance if you like the found family trope or heartfelt, deep, emotional stories about human connections and disconnections!

Forgettable and disappointing

This drama started out so strong and was so hilarious but then it deaffed and dragged and became boring. I have already forgotten so much that happened because it was so meh and although the actors were great choices, they were let down by the uninteresting plot and dragging on of the story. If this drama was shorter, I would have enjoyed it more. If you're looking for a lighthearted, funny story where not much happens, I recommend still giving it a try, but just know that this story was flawed and was really nothing special and despite its strong start, it had a very weak end.

Psychotic ML and a story that went off the rails

This drama started our so well and I had such high hopes for it. It was intense and action filled and I was really rooting for the characters. Then somewhere along the line, the ML had a personality switch and completely one eighty-ed into a psychotic and toxic alpha male who I didn't like at all. His character was ruined imo, and I couldn't root for him anymore despite still liking the FL. It ruined the story that his character changed so much and the story itself dragged a bit and although I absolutely loved it at the start and appreciated all the action, this drama went of the rails towards the end and it ruined the story due to lack of consistency meaning the characters weren't believable.
