I will say first: this was so cute and good for the first 5 or so episodes. Then it went downhill.
The cast was really good (minus the mom, i will talk about this later) and the chemistry between the leads was really (really!) good. They did a great job of portraying their love and making it seem real and nerve-wracking. However this was SO stretched out. Someone else said this could have easily been a 2 hour movie. I 100% agree. They wasted so many minutes with just non moving shots of characters walking or sitting or looking sad. Every time a character got angry and would go to a bar I knew that there would be at least 5 minutes of them angrily opening ad drinking multiple bottles of alcohol. With ZERO talking in between. It got to be that every time I would see a character get mad and go to a restaurant I would just start skipping forward because I knew there were multiple minutes of useless footage in between the next dialogue.
NEXT:
The music. So so bad. The songs themselves aren't horrible.(They aren't good either). But the sheer amount of times I had to hear that dumb "sometimes it's hard to be a woman". I wanted to strangle someone. This was probably my LEAST favorite part of the drama. Their music choices were so poor, I can't even explain.
NEXT (possible spoliers):
They created a few good characters. However, the mother is INSANE. Clinically. No person would ever act like that, especially if they love their kids. It is nonsensical that Jin-ah would forgive her mother after everything that she did. If my mom acted even half as horribly rude and psychotic as her mother I would seriously consider not speaking to her again. That is how horrible her mother is.
Another, less important point: Jin-ah's ex-boyfriend's characterization also makes no sense. He cheats on her, but then can't stop stalking her and following her? He truly makes no sense and was not needed in the show.
