Remove the romance from the main character and it will be better

Since the pilot episode is not that great, I already expected that the rest of the episodes will be the same. The truth is, the only reason I binge-watched the show was basically to support Sehun in his first television drama. Unfortunately the show is bland and below average, if not for Sehun I already dropped this one long ago.

The title is about the two protagonists dealing with their uncommon romance. The wall left by his late brother and her ex-boyfriend was so thick that it affected not only them but also the people involved with the three of them. Ha Young Eun is still trying to break up with Yoon Jae Guk's deceased brother, but during that time she doesn't know that her ex-boyfriend died. Then, the same cycle happens when the two main characters push their relationship despite the opposition from their parents. They keep trying to break up with each other. The adverse thing is because of this, it is hard for me to enjoy the show and I ended up feeling bored watching it. I really thought that Song Hye Kyo and Jang Ki Young had a great chemistry together but as I watched their acting performance in this show, I can’t find any sort of romantic affection from them. This is also the point I realized that I get sick seeing the same Song Hye Kyo’s teary and dainty facial expression over and over again. The same case with Jang Ki Young’s awkward smiles all throughout the show. I like both of them but they’re acting from this show was unimpressive. Anyways the one lesson I learned from their romance is that one love story is hard to withered.

Set aside the main characters, the story of the dying friend was tragically beautiful. It is my favorite part of the show, a sorrowful yet impactful part of Mi Sook’s life. The SONO online fashion show made me cry a river, turning her long-awaited dream into reality is heartwarming. Living with the knowledge that she can die any minute is tremendously scary. Her decision to do all the things she wanted to do before she died was something sad and fulfilling to see at the same time. At the end, she died knowing that she happily said her goodbyes to the people around her and that the memories they shared together will always be remembered.

Other parts of the show that was good are:
The duo of the two CEOs from Vision PR and THE ONE. Good combination of comedy and spice because of how unexpected the strict father was.
Fashion as their main concept was conveyed well enough but can be improved.
Hwang Chi Hyung and Jung So Young have a cute love story. They had only short scenes but enough to send me butterflies.
Presenting the process of running a fashion company.

In conclusion, sometimes I feel good but still most of the time I feel extremely unsatisfied with the flow of the main character's story. The side character has a more interesting story than the main.
