Ugh, this is really difficult for me to review. It was actually the drama that got me into kdramas, that is, the first one I binge watched and got super-into. On the one hand, I loved it to bits, on the other it left a very bitter-sweet taste in my mouth. For the good parts - I totally fell in love with Wang So and his character (and Lee Joon-gi in the role, he was so on point, anymore and it'd become a black hole and swallowed the universe). He was just the type of anti-hero I love in my romance - misunderstood, issues abound, yet mindful of others, caring, with a soft spot for our heroine. Seeing him get out of himself and his character ark was one of my favorite parts of the drama, though I could've done without the last couple of episodes which rocked my love of him somewhat. He did make up for it in the end, but then the end had so many other issues that.. meh. I REALLY want a second season of this because I feel like we still haven't seen the best of Wang So, and what he could be. I'd also LOVE to see him in the modern age. Basically, I rooted for him from the beginning and though the love story was a sloooow burn (understatement), I just really want to see him be happy and have a worthy romance with Hae Soo. On that note, I found Hae Soo lovely. She was spunky when she needed to be, but she was also a deeply compassionate person and her relationship with the brothers was one of the highlights of the drama for me. Seeing them through her eyes I really got to care for all of them, even those I didn't really like at first. The problem I had was that because her ark with Wook was so long (and done really well), I started resenting her at a point because Wang So was my main man and it felt like she didn't really reciprocate his feelings until very late in the drama. And then... yeah. Wasn't really expecting that ending (I guess I should've read up on the storyline first before I committed to watching), but I'll take it and hold my breath for more someday.
