This was a good-feel drama with not much structure or point in it. It tried to start as something great and end as something great, but nothing much happened in the middle. There was no direction and it seemed the directors just wanted to tell a story about people, but didn’t know how to give them a story.

What I found good about the drama despite it missing a clear plot, are its themes. It was a very humane drama that discussed everyday problems that most of us face in life. It was thoughtful and allowed you to ponder things like marriage, relationships, change and growing up. It didn’t offer answers, it didn’t try to represent what is good and what is bad, who is good and who is bad. It just showed life how it is and it was refreshing to see it put this realistically. It was really easy to relate to.

Thus you couldn’t help but fall in love with most of the characters. With the characters however, there were similar problems as with the plot. Sometimes it was hard to tell who actually were the main characters? It didn’t concentrate on the main couple more than the others, so you didn’t get attached to anyone in particular. Personally, I loved the ‘side’ characters more than the ‘main’, and was more interested in their lives.

The acting was good, though I had a problem with the flashbacks, and how the same 30-year-old characters were playing high school students. Sometimes it works, but unfortunately Rainie Yang was the only believable one here, both in manner and looks.

Overall, I think this show is as flawed as we humans are. And we all have many good things about us too.
