I found the acting of Kim Young reliable all along. I ain't a super fan of Bo Young though but I don't exactly dislike her. So started watching this movie as I was interested in their chemistry. Unfortunately, the movie does not give much time to their chemistry as a romantic couple. However, I loved their acting, specially their teenhood life was pretty adorable.
As for the story, I found it a bit annoying, mostly because of the way the story has been portrayed. It gives a vibe that the female lead is pretty comfortable when it comes to "moving on" even though it's not true. Of course, the female lead had to go through hardship to move on but her side of the story hasn't been portrayed almost at all. Also, I was wondering if it is that easy to break up over the other party's random comment or thought when the other party is pretty depressed. I mean when two people are in love, they try to stand up for one another, especially when they are struggling. So breaking up over a thought in a time of depression doesn't seem very normal to me, it's pretty personal opinion though. This is another problem in the storytelling of this movie, it gives a vibe that the male lead had got new passion, new dream not because the female lead had inspired to do so but because he was in love with her whereas he actually stands up every now and then beside the female lead when she is in distress. Because the female lead's emotion has not been portrayed that much, it leaves a vibe that the female lead is selfish. In a nutshell, the story may be realistic but the way the story has been told has made it a bit abrupt.
The OSTs and background music are Ok, so is the videography. The transition between different time periods might be confusing if one is not paying attention. Well, after completing the movie I was left with the question that who is the lady the male lead was going to kiss in the first scene in his imagination when he was narrating his story to his students? I don't remember finding that lady again in the entire movie!
