Short and sweet, I feel like this drama packed in just the right amount of information for the time it was given — but I can't help wondering what might have been and how much more we could have gotten if only the drama was a little longer.

At its core, the drama is perfectly formulaic longtime friends-to-lovers, and I absolutely love the trope of one person yearning for the other in silence for so many years. And it came across extremely well, especially in the earlier episodes.

The vibe was slow and comforting; this drama just feels like a cozy winter watch if you want to feel your heart flutter.

It wasn't really until the last episode did I really start feeling like I wished this drama was longer. They did a great job subtly weaving in the characters' careers but I wanted to see even more of it. I felt as though time spent on another love interest (who we knew had no shot) was kind of unnecessary. And there are some school flashbacks that absolutely stole my heart that I wanted to see more of, some late night heart-to-hearts over rice wine that I wanted more time with, and overall just more exploration of why becoming lovers felt like such high stakes for them.

Still, this is a really good watch — unproblematic, safe, cozy, comforting, warm — it's just everything that makes for a great all-in-one binge.
