Dragged on

It starts off well but with 52 episodes it just drags on. The worst characters are the parents... all of them. You think Dan Dan's dad is o.k but eventually his colors show but he's not as bad the others. The worst characters are the two step moms, the one for the ML and the one for Dan Dan. They are both all about money and self preservation. Dan's step mom is awful, someone who immediately plays victim when she's confronted. I wasn't sure if we were supposed to like her or not because her methods are tame compared to the other step mom. Man the other step mom is all kindsa crazy... entitled for no good reason and looks down on everyone. Oh and there's a LOT of times when these parents will disapprove of any relationships in this show. So if you hate when that happens in a kdrama I would stay away from this because half the show is trying to get parents approval.

The rest is two cases of amnesia, abandoned kids, cancer and a pregnancy. Pretty much summed it all up. If this show wasn't 52 episodes it would be a whole lot better. Characters wouldn't come off as too stubborn and could actually be redeemed, but because these characters more or less do the same thing over and over it just gets frustrating to watch. I actually skimmed through certain parts because It was basically filler. Like another, lets try persuade them to let us get married scene takes place and again the parents are against it. A lot of this show is like this. Just repeats itself in a way and none of the characters actually grow or learn anything.

The headline is dragged on and that's the main issue with the show. Starts strong but just becomes frustrating to watch. When it finally ends its the usual predictable stuff. The leads end up together as per usual and all, and I can honestly say I did not care. I wouldn't say it was a complete waste of time, I liked the beginning but everything that happens after the second round of amnesia was just... a headache.

Oh and some of these characters talk to themselves waaay too much. It's done for exposition but it just comes off odd and funny... It happens frequently enough for you to be like... "who is he/she talking to?".

I don't think I'll take anything away from the show but I am wary of the longer kdrama's now...
