I was going through a kdrama fallout phase until I came across this drama which is part of the reason why I got back into kdramas. It was the typical older woman/younger man kind of love story, but it's actually a good one. I wasn't sure how the chemistry between Jin Ah and Rowoon would be considering the age gap, however, they really pulled it off and the chemistry was great.

One of the things I liked about this drama was how the "love square" conflict did not take up much of the entire drama. I believe the conflict ended sometime a little over halfway through the drama. I mean, it's reasonable why it should since Jae Shin has no right at all to try and fight to win Song Ah back considering that he did cheat on her. He did try to but realized after that she'll never take him back despite his reasoning of why he did cheat. Also, it was unexpected how there was very little interaction between Song Ah and Hyo Joo considering they were both victims of being two-timed by Jae Shin. I mean there was no reason to since both women were not at fault nor were aware of the two-timing. I was actually expecting Hyo Joo to be like a very evil character where she just goes to great extent to keep Jae Shin and/or make Song Ah's life a living hell like what typical love square dramas do. But she wasn't evil at all. She just needed to mature. I think that's what also made the drama different compared to other dramas.

The build-up to Song Ah and Hyung Seung's relationship was at a good pace. Not too slow nor too fast. I really like how Hyun Seung was not forcing his feelings onto Song Ah as if he was forcing her to reciprocate. He always considered her feelings and patiently waited for her to like him back as he stood by her side. Compared to some dramas, if a guy likes a girl, they would like go all the way to try and make moves on the girl to get her to fall for him. But Hyun Seung was subtle and understanding. Eventually, she did end up falling for him.

I also liked how they changed the roles in the drama at the end where Song Ah tries to chase and win Hyun Seung back after she broke up with him during the 3 year time skip when she left for Europe. It was cute, especially how Hyun Seung reacts to it since he gets caught off guard by it lol. I felt like it was unreasonable of her to break up with him just bc of the long distance they had trouble doing. Like yeah I understand where she comes from bc she doesn't want to hurt or burden him anymore bc of her always being busy to spend time with him. But if he straight up says he can deal with it bc he loved her and wants to keep the relationship, then don't break up. You'll eventually find a way to make it work. She eventually came back 3 years later, even though it was originally 5, bc she missed him and wanted him back. I can understand the frustration and hate Hyun Seung must've felt when he saw her again and was hesitant to get back with her. But they ended up getting married in the end so it's okay LOL.

As for side characters, I LOVE the second couple LOL. Jae woon and Ji Seung were just adorable together XD. And I'm glad of the character development of Hyo Joo. She learned how to let go of Jae Shin and that she can still be happy without him. I'm glad that the writers did not script them to get back together in the end bc that's just pointless.

Overall, this drama was really good and something I would rewatch. I would definitely recommend this if you want some romance! Rowoon was great in this drama too.
