LOVED IT but the ending :(

The fact that I actually stayed up each week to watch the live broadcast/no subs (2AM) brought me back to my high school days!

What I liked:
1. Casting, everyone did so well esp the 2nd lead casting was *chefs kiss*!
2. Cliche romcom tropes executed well apart from the rushed end.
3. Changed up a few scenes from webtoon.
4. SPOILER* how they still continued their relationship online despite TM going overseas.
5. Did not drag.
6. Solved most issues quickly.
7. TM and HR hugs!!
8. No romance between HR bro and YS.

What I did not like:
1. Rushed end.
2. I'm all for closures but eh was not feeling the MW closure XD
3. They did not continue where they left off on ep 11 HAHA
4. I prefer the way grandpa approved of HR in the webtoon more, this grandpa was being difficult LOL.
5. Lying/hiding took way too long.

Overall 8.5, was going to be a 9 but the rushed ending was not it. cute but not it. :b Time to re-read the webtoon for the 100th time HAHAHA. I hope for more well-executed romcom soon and not rush the end pls <3

COMMUNICATION IS KEY TO A GOOD RELATIONSHIP.

Acting was good. Their chemistry was great in the beginning, but I'm sorry half way through the drama til the end I just felt bad for the ML. The FL just got so annoying, I get that she had an unfortunate miscarriage but DAMN IF ONLY YOU COMMUNICATED AND NOT JUMPED INTO SILLY CONCLUSIONS SO FAST. ugh. The dumb childish act got WAY too draggy even after the FL finding out that the ML has never stopped thinking about her nor their baby(when FL saw the baby diary thingy). UGH!! Also no punishment for the damn homewrecker?? what in tarnation. The one that suffered the most was the ML!! bruh.... Ultimately, watch the other adaptations, instead of this timewaster. (or watch the first half, not the rest.).

HEALING IS A PROCESS!

For a 16 ep drama, everything tied together nicely. Sometimes you don't need to fully heal to keep moving forward. HEALING IS A PROCESS, not a magic trick where you suddenly feel all better just because a drama is ending etc.. What I liked about the ending was the "going seperate road" shot, because it did not mean it's the end, to me it meant they're just taking a different path, a different route to heal.

Acting was superb! Especially Oh Jung Se's role, that's a very hard role to pull for an entire 16 (nearly 1 hour each) episodes. I also have to applause Kim Soo-Hyun and Seo Ye Ji. I first watched KSH from Dream High(2011) and SYJ from Potato Star(2013) and I must say they really improved so so so much. ALSO THEIR CHEMISTRY, OH MY LIFE! <3 The multiple staring scenes were a little bit awks as they lasted a lil bit too long for me but goodness me their chemistry was seeping through my laptop screen LOL. Don't even get me started on their kiss scenes, wow just wow.

Overall, I give this drama a 8.5/10, 1.5 point off as I hoped for more but that is just me hehehe. If you look beyond the romance, I am sure you'll see a much bigger picture in regards to mental health issues. Yes, the drama may have overly exaggerated KMY's personality in the beginning BUT this is where character development comes in and you will be surprised what people can do irl. Anywho, I will miss the cast for sure. I hope they work together again. Til the next one <3

I purely started this drama for NJH & Suzy but stayed for KSH.

You don't have to be as blind as Halmoeni to see that this drama could have been much better.. MUCH, MUCH BETTER.
eg. Bromance between JP and DS would have been nicer instead of giving us a forced wanna-be love triangle, OR address what needed to be addressed and not just shove the main plot under a rug etc.. Gosh! Yong-San even had a better character development than the leads!! However, I do not think this drama deserves a 1 and defs not a 10. I get the rage/disappointment, I am too and NOT because it didn't have a MIJI endgame, in fact I didn't want HJP to end up with DM midway to the drama I just wanted a happy end for him but a 1 or 10 hmm.. I give this drama a 6/10 because of the amazing OST and how well the actors/actresses portrayed their respective roles. Everything else was meh..

Ps. This was my first time feeling SLS all throughout the duration of the drama! I would usually feel it and then it disappears but this time it was so strong it stuck til the end D:

I can't wait for KSH's future projects! See ya'll in True Beauty! ;)

....and that's on Healthy Relationship folks!!

I don't know why this drama doesn't have that many viewers but they are surely missing out on this GEM!

I love this drama so much that I would rewatch it from time to time(this is just a very late review but I watched it when it aired). The ML & FL's relationship was so healthy, it felt SOOO natural and both looked like your everyday normal people. There were no silly misunderstandings, breakups, cringe moments, annoying characters (maybe apart from the superduper strict mom but I didn't care for her because the ML & FL's bond was so strong). The story just flowed well. There were moments where the ML & FL did not want to bother each other so they kept some hardships to themselves, BUT deep inside they know somethings up so they silently support one another. They were cute!! The support characters/friends were so fun and it reminded me of my own friends who I knew since HS & still hang with even after all these years.

The only tiny issue I had was how most of the characters had some connections/coincidences with influencial people who greatly helped them along the way (eg. the person who helped the ML get a 10M investment) which made it a little less 'realistic' in a way-- that is just my opinion and it is a drama after all so understandable.

Overall, I enjoyed this thoroughly. The love, trust, friendship, support was amazing. SO if you have not watched this already, START WATCHING IT NOW! Highly recommended!! It's available on Youtube for an easy binge watch but tbh subs weren't the best at some parts. Watch it somewhere LOL

THE CHEMISTRY!!

Read the headline LOL. jk.

Um, I was very invested in this drama & got iQiyi VIP. The story was great first half but after the angst, ML's forceful actions towards the FL got me a tad annoyed and FL's personality was kinda eh too (like when she asked for a bigger bouquet of flowers or a bigger sized ring, maybe she was joking and all but I found that awks/not appealing) but I did not mind because they were cute. The kisses could have been better because the FL was a bit stiff-- still better than love020 kiss tho LOL. Amazing cast, especially the ML being his first drama! I look forward to his future projects. The music was great, most are in my playlist now. Overall, watch it for the chemistry! Next up's The Oath of Love, see ya'll there!!

If you haven't watched this yet, go watch it NOW!!

A very late review BUT I have embarrassingly watched this multiple times! LOL

The things I mainly enjoyed were the gaming aspect, both leads were strong and there were no relationship misunderstandings. The only downside were the kiss scenes!!! I mean I get the beginning kisses you're like shy and stuff but like the later kisses were disappointing T_T the movie version had a better kiss scene and I think they only had 1 kiss scene in the movie version. XD HOWEVER, I still give it 8.5 overall!

Also yeah the friend of the FL, I found her very childish.

Literally became the Queen of Tears watching this.

I just want to say, this deserve all the hype its getting. It broke me out of my kdrama-drought.
If you don't like angst then this is not for you. I don't think I've ever cried this much watching a k-drama.

I give it a solid 8. My thoughts are all over the place but will just use bulletpoints.

- Great cast and acting from all characters!
- Top-notch pairing KimxKim couple!
- OST is on repeat as we speak!
- Story/plot was there but felt like it was lost near the last few eps, so it felt rushed and seemed like it just needed to end and tie it all in somehow.
- EunSeong was unbearable, like boyyyy that's not love, that's obsession but didn't care much for the villains tbh.
- I would have loved to see a "what went wrong in our marriage" conversation between the leads. eg. the miscarriage pain T_T
- Why didn't HI see/watch HW pre-recorded video??? would have loved to cry some more.
- The final ep where they show they grew old and HI died first of old age was nice but I needed more, like the life before they grew old, maybe HI remembering more memory here and there not just a quick scene of them with their kid.
- I did like the auntie at first but she got a bit too much and did not need to have that many scenes esp for the final ep.
- May rewatch but only if I wanna cry or watch their sweet/funny scenes.
- Will pay to see eps about their pre-marriage hehe

Random fact: I didn't see them, but I was in Berlin last year July, just crazy to think they were also there filming! Would have loved to see them!!

Soooo, what do I watch now.... T_T BRB just gonna scroll Tiktok for more behind the scenes and fan edits.
