This is hands down my favourite kdramas of all time. I became a Kdrama addict because of this series. I keep coming back to this kdrama over and over again, because I am absolutely, completely in love with the characters and their stories and their transformative journeys over the years. "Who is Dal mi going to be with finally" was the question that legit plagued me till the 13th episode. And I love it that even after becoming big, Nam Do san was still the dorky introvert that he was depicted to be in the first episode. I agree that Han Ji Pyeong's reasoning behind not pursuing Dal mi was a little weak, but its okay... It felt as if Han Ji Pyeong realised it himself that he doesn't stand a chance next to Nam Do San. But all the flaws aside, CAN WE TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE NAM JOO HYUK IN THIS DRAMA? THE BEST DORK EVER. He was so cute and dorky and introverted, I truly did not understand how it was not apparent to every viewer right from episode one that he's The One. And I loved it that the writers moved away from the childhood lovers cliche to bring in a stranger into the mix, and make him the love interest of the lady, because THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS IN REAL LIFE. The chances of childhood crushes coming to life is close to nil, and it doesn't make sense to keep egging it on. The most beautiful thing about this drama was Ji Pyeong's relationship with Dal-mi's Halmeoni. I vouched for their relationship way more than any love interest shown in the series, tbh. Also the OST is so lovely, I've been listening to it on repeat. Overall, I love this drama, and this is perhaps the only kdrama that I've rewatched, and also the only drama that receives a 10 on 10 for me. Of course, there are flaws to this drama, but given the pivotal role this kdrama has played in my life (I spent the next 6 months of my life just binge-watching kdramas EVERY DAY nonstop), I think it deserves a 10 just for introducing me to the world of kdramas.
