This was one of the slowest developing dramas I have watched completed in 16 episodes. I often complain about the 45 and 70 episode dragged out love stories because you usually can tell a truly romantic story within 24 episodes. What I disliked about this drama is the writer's attempt to keep a melancholy theme throughout. Dating was so unnatural for everyone involved in romantic encounters and I felt there was this weirdness feeling and not a feeling of reality that was evolving in an attempt to be artistic. The actors started out with strong lines and good material to deliver a challenging romantic story but in the middle of the story the writer began to scrape the barrel grating the viewers' nerves - many reported dropping the drama because it was so slow and never maturing to romance, only conflict. In the end, it was the feeling - well I've watched this far - might as well finish. When I finished it I asked myself - what did I just watch for 16 hours? The chemistry was "off" during the 2nd charm and we never saw the maturation of a third charm. I would not recommend this drama unless you just have nothing else to watch.
