A rare instance where the MDL rating of 9 is absolutely justified for the series.
Why I liked it:
- Main Love Story: As you may know, the FL had 2 suitors. There seem to have been fan wars about who she should have ended with. There were subtle clues sprinkled throughout the series, which were confusing to me personally. I thought some clues pointed to the main ML and some to the second ML. Both were quite outstanding suitors because I felt both were complimentary personalities to an extent to the FL. The FL was a generally sweet and happy-go-lucky girl, with no major outstanding qualities/ambition. One ML was really mature but child-like innocent at the same time and brought out the FL's protective & nurturing instincts. The other ML was quite caring and while he bickered with her, the FL brought out his protective & nurturing instincts. So in case of one ML, the FL would have been the primary nurturer, with the other one she would have been nurtured. Both work in real life actually. My take away was: who we end up with is driven by Destiny most of all. People are not fixtures, there are spectrums to behaviour. The same person can be dominating one in a relationship with one partner, and be dominated in a relationship with another partner. The opposite partner's behaviours brings out different personality traits in folks. So, I was fine whoever she ended up with, they both suited her. Kudos to the makers/actors for bringing to life such fine 2 suitors.
- Secondary Love Story: Ah, the FL's elder sister and friend's love story (Sung-Sung couple as I term them). You know there are commitment-phobic guys in real life They are often depicted in dramas too. There is another category of guys who exist but are not as frequently depicted I feel. The commitment-philic guys, who thrive on stepping up and taking responsibilities. Sung Sun Woo was that guy. Stepped up to the role of man-support for his mother and lil sister once his father passed away. Happily so. It's no wonder he fell for an older girl. His maturity level was higher than even his FL though she was older and mature herself. Even in his relationship, he is the one who pushed for permanence, happy to marry early. Though his FL was really aggressive, he tamed her so well. I freakin adore such guys. I love their love.
- Really slow burn romance, both of them. Done just the way I like them.
- Kisses: Swoon worthy and totally real. Especially so from the secondary couple. I truly think the secondary couple are a couple in real life.
Weird points:
- The FL had an adam's apple to rival the ML's. This is the first time I have seen an actress with such a pronounced adam's apple. Distracted me in a few scenes
- Whoever did FL's make-up needs to be fired. I could see her foundation / pimples in so many scenes
- The wigs of the 3 ahjummas were also terrible cause it was so obvious they were wigs
