I really wanted this drama to work. I don't know why, as there's nothing all that compelling about the characters or the story, and the leads don't have much chemistry (which is surprising considering they were apparently dynamite opposite each other in a previous drama). But something about this drama made me really want it to be good. That feeling is ultimately what sustained me through a largely dissatisfying viewing experience.

Watching this drama felt much like reading a book out of order or listening to a song in disjointed parts. The beginning and ending were in the right place, but the middle was all mixed up. There's very little conflict in the first half with the lead couple breezing their way through acquaintanceship, friendship, and eventually romance. It's not a compelling relationship, and you keep feeling like you're missing something (like perhaps a reason to care), but the longer the drama goes on, the more you feel like the writers really have nothing to say and that this is all there is. It's not a particularly interesting viewing experience, to say the least, and I kept waiting and hoping for something to Happen. Unfortunately, the writers efforts at making something happen came both too late in the story and were more annoying than they were compelling. We, of course, get the expected happy ending and maybe in another version of this drama it could have been satisfying, but I ultimately walked away bored with the whole thing.

I'm over this drama now and don't really think about it unless I come across it on Dramalist or some other drama website, but the quiet dissatisfaction I felt after finishing it has stayed with me. For whatever reason, I really wanted this drama to figure itself out, and it never did, and that's just stuck with me.

I wouldn't recommend this drama.
