So, it’s been a while(like 4 months) since I’ve watched anything other than a Thai drama or BL.. so I’m going to try to review this fairly.

Overall it’s a great story. Though it’s a pretty common story trope for kdramas, I liked how it didn’t start the typical way. I also like how unlike usual, where they fight and deny feeling for a long time, and then eventually get together, and something “breaks them up” temporarily before they work it out and switch into heavily being a couple. Instead, they are simple and wholesome and light, while still staying hidden, mostly for the sake of reputations on both ends.

My only real issue was that then ending was very anticlimactic and underwhelming. I didn’t enjoy the fact they had him be gone for a year, drop a potential cheating scandal, and then have him show up and propose all in the last 5 minutes of the show. Not to mention, they never really say what happens with Jin Young Seo and her father, or between her and Cha Sung Hoon. They mention her taking a year off, but for what? And she calls him her boyfriend at the end, so does that mean the engagement was off? Or on hold? I just feel like it needed one more episode to really wrap things up.

All this said, I did really enjoy it for it being my first kdrama in a while.
