•story:
○i mean, i am quite biased towards this sort of plot; it's a trope that i love. the character introductions and developments were nice and the story line flowed pretty well. there were however certain areas i thought could have been written a bit better. i thought some scenes were slightly unnecessary and that time could have been put into better use with another scene. nevertheless, i love how the story never got incredibly deep or remained too light; it was a sweet balance of comedy, drama, action, and love. i appreciated all its twists and turns since it kept the story intriguing for me. overall i was quite pleased with the story.

•acting:
○first off, i must seriously commend Chris on his acting in this drama. he did so great! his eyes spoke so much raw emotion that i was taken aback as the episodes progressed. he really did a fantastic job with the role. i've always seen this sort of role a bit difficult to play since it's so easy to come off as a bland character. however Chris really shone in this part.
○Jake's character was a weird one, i've got to say. but it grew on me (by the end of the first episode ahaha). he portrayed it well enough to make me think that's how he usually acts irl. let me note however: that in the later episodes, i was a very slightly detached from his character though. he didn't hold me in as strongly as he did in the earlier ones. i'm not sure if it was the writing of his character or his acting that came into play here. but overall, he did well with this quirky character!
○Kenny and Andy were amply cute! it was very satisfying watching their lighthearted scenes. i'm not even surprised their popularity among the couples was so high. Andy's smile captivated me from his very first scene! Kenny is simply naturally adorable ㅠ.ㅠ

○i really want to give all the actors compliments on their acting!

•music:
○wow, from the first time i heard each of the main osts, i fell in love! i desperately scoured the internet for the full songs and the singers. the singers evoke so much emotion with these songs. i can bravely say this drama had one of the best osts i have ever heard. it's one of those you'll always remember. incredibly beautiful,,

i've only just recently finished the drama and while writing this review on a cozy, rainy day, i'm already missing it ❤

good points?
lee joon's acting
do yun's pretty face c:
seeing hwal's hairstyle change over the years
ost, gosh I love 4men's voices
seeing a family form

bad points?
...quite a lot, gosh I really wanted to love this one
the repetitiveness and I mean this in all aspects you can think of
that damn light they shine everytime hwal and sang un are in the same frame. this is, funnily, my most hated aspect lol
the 2d characters
...the romance :/

honestly the drama started a bit strong but it went downhill maybe from episode 6 or so. as with so many other dramas, it was unnecessarily stretched. 10 episodes would've done it more justice but it is what it is.

a fair watch to pass an evening

i didn’t go in expecting anything revolutionary and it’s good i didn’t. it was a fair watch. the horror parts were done well, costume-wise but theres one cgi bit that looked a bit off due to sizing issues. there are one or two jumpscares which didn’t make me jump lol.

personally i like this type of nonlinear, flashback storytelling so its always a plus for me but i know it can be confusing for some so beware to pay attention.

the storyline was interesting enough to keep me watching. acting was alright, nothing out of this world.

i would recommend it if you’re looking for a movie to take your mind off something since it requires a bit of concentration to follow the story.

•what kept me watching:
○perth's organic acting. those eyes held so much emotion within them!

○the nature of aepete's relationship. it was so healthy and sweet.

○tincan. i'm a sucker for this type of plot line ;-;

○the music. wow i love "Wish this Love". as soon as they played the instrumental i swooned everytime. i think this is the best ost song i have heard in a lakorn.

•what had me wishing it wasn't included:
○an aspect in the realationship of tincan. the forceful advances were slightly unsettling, it could have been better written. they could have made it an element of surprise instead of a forceful one. and not to mention tincan's ending . wow really. out of all the "relationships" they had to kill the second best (even best for some) one. at least they could have ended it openly. so just like so many other, i'll be hoping a second season or just a spin off for tincan is made.

○tumtar. that was attempted rape at best. really unnecessary. okay so i can understand (for a lack of a better word) if they had made my poor baby get raped earlier on for a healing plot. a healthy healing plot that deals with the problem maturely. not have tum do what he did, being the only person tar felt comfortable around. ugh -_-

○and obviously, kla and techno . in all raw honesty this couple was completely unecessary. it wasn't even a couple. it was a case of under the influence advantage. i mean, others may view it differently but techno was piss drunk. his sober reaction is enough to show that he did not want that. -____-

•all in all, love by chance really had so much potential. aepete and tincan (at some length) pulled it up but then these other added plots brought it down a notch. i really hope a second season or at least a spin off is made to address these issues maturely because it's 2019 folks. we don't do potential filled dramas dirty like this anymore. we learn form the past and improve the ones we can in the future.
