the ending is the most surreal moment i've had while watching a kdrama. spoilers ahead but the main couple become...vloggers??? this was such a bizarre choice and it's so random but it's kind of funny so kudos i guess?

the romance was okay, though the dynamic confused me at times. it seemed rather awkwardly push and pull, and the love triangle was so weird. the second female lead wanted to freeze the fl?? i have never been so confused.

i didn't have high hopes when watching this but it was, i believe, my 3rd kdrama and i'm glad i didn't stop here. retrospectively, it's amusing, but i'm honestly surprised that i managed to watch it all back then. my standards must have been low for me to finish this. i feel like i should state, to redeem myself, that i had dropped this multiple times but finished because i hated dropping dramas at the time, it felt wrong.

i can't really fault the acting, the actors worked with what little they had, though the mix of characters used for comedy and characters used for pathos felt like a weird mix.

also, sidenote, though the second lead certainly did unforgiveable things, i don't think her anger at the situation was unreasonable. for her, she had been waiting 20 years. no romantic endeavours. just waiting. and then her bf finally awakens but moves on in practically a week. her anger was misplaced at fl but i can understand where she is coming from.

the cast is rather star-studded and so i think i did expect more, but as i said, they did the best they could with what they had.
