I'm pondering how I'm going to write this review because I can only describe this drama as a mess. Synopsis and especially posters couldn't be more far from the story. I was expecting normal romance story, instead I got depressing melodrama.
This drama first starts by showing you countless of flashbacks to main characters teen years. After 3 or 4 episodes we finally get into present time and actual story starts from there. But when I was watching this I felt like writer couldn't decide whether go this way or that way and ended up choosing right in the middle, hence the mess. And it felt like there wasn't that much romance even though this belongs to romance drama genre. Relationships were explained or left in halfway and you don't really get to see main couple developing relationship deeper.
In story we also get lot of cliches like evil mom, crazy girlfriend/ex-girlfriend, accidents etc.
I'm not fan of Woobin, his looks are not my style and I don't like Suzy. I chose this drama because of synopsis which as I said before was not equivalent to story at all. But if I have to find something positive about either one of leads it would be Woobin's acting. I was surprised positively that his acting skills have matured alot and he plausibly plays his role.
Same cannot be said from Suzy, I felt she went too over even though her character was a little eccentric.
Only thing I could really enjoy in this drama was Noh Eul's brother, Noh Jik's scenes. Lee Seo Won is amazing new rookie actor who I'd keep my eye on after this. Even though he's a rookie, he gives great performance as Noh Eul's stiff little brother who doesn't really know how to act with people, especially with girls.
Even though I like Im Joo Hwan as an actor I didn't like his character here, Choi Ji Tae felt distant and writers didn't open his story almost at all. We saw him only as kind of sidelooker.
Other characters also were quite boring. Only character that brought a little bit energy to story was Noh Eul's best friend Go Na Ri (played by Kim Min Young). She was believable in her bestfriend role and could act caring, angry and sad scenes really well.
So I didn't like this drama but it's funny that it's OST is one of the best I have ever heard in korean dramas. I'm definetly going to get the OST.
Overall, if you don't like sad, depressing melodramas, skip this. You will just end up dropping this if you're waiting a smooth flowing romance story.
