Utterly disappointing
I was so excited to watch the second season but this is just sad.The kdrama fan in me died upon watching this.
On one unique perspective, it does have a different storyline and she chose the first season's second lead. All the guy's effort were worth it and he won the girl. It's an unlikely happy ending for the female lead and this season's male lead.
But why do I feel so empty, so unsatisfied? Like all of the excitement, I have were flushed through the toilet.
Poor Hwang Sun Oh. He was just pushed aside.

A realistic view on first love
I am a sucker for happy endings and it's something I couldn't get from this drama.Harsh but real, not all first loves get a happy ending.
STORY
Slow-paced and not as sweet as you could get from other dramas. I feel the pain of the supporting lead in the last episode. I just wished they showed the couple falling out or whatever happened to them. A simple mention in a conversation would have even sufficed. I was rooting for both of them, but, whoah, plot twist!
ACTING
Subtle.
MUSIC
I am tone-deaf. I have no comment on this.
REWATCH VALUE
I think not. I don't want to feel the hurt again. I could feel their pain. I could relate to their pain. I emphasize, which is why I am not watching this again.

However, the last few episodes were so NAH and WTF it's like they wanted to make several storylines and plots squeezed into a few episodes.
They tried to redeem it at the end though.
I’d recommend only the first ¾ of this drama. The last couple of episodes would really get you lost and confused.

I like the beginning of this drama. It's a great mix of romance and comedy.

Mixed Emotions
I had dropped this midway but came back to watch it due to the great clips and comedic scenes scattered on YT.STORY - Interesting and some were unexpected twists. There were some things I was getting hyped about but ended up disappointed. Like, it was the topic for a few episodes, then, the climactic scene for it lasted just a few seconds. I'm talking about the son that isn't even in the main cast. Some may say this was a happy ending, some find that it has a confusing ending. They just wanted to end it without explanation and some things were just so illogical! Slightly happy, disappointed, sad, irritated, angry, confused. This left me with mixed emotions.
CAST - Lack of chemistry with the lead actor and actress but their acting skills are on point. I'm more interested in the supporting casts' chemistry. The bromance was the best chemistry here.
ML was stunning and perfect for this role. I wasn't a fan but I am now. I first saw him in Goblin and I just found him so-so. His makeup here made him strikingly stunning. And the red hair is to die for!
MUSIC - Tone-deaf, so no comment.
REWATCH - I'd rather watch clips on YT instead of rewatching the whole drama. I hardly rewatch any drama anyway but I keep on rewatching their clips.

Watched for the eye candy
Story--> This started out slow but fast-forwarded towards the end of the miniseries. I liked how they establish and introduced the characters but they sped up the storyline towards the end. It was like--he liked her the first time he saw her, they fell on each other (literally), he opened up, he fought the second lead which was the girl's best friend for a long time and won, he confessed, they kissed, he left, she waited, he came back to her open arms. Okay, it's a cliche.
Acting
--> Their acting was so-so.
Cast
--> The leading man is so cute to look at I was able to finish this series. Dan Bi was adorable as well.
Music
--> I. AM. TONE. DEAF. So, I better leave this part and not comment on this one.
Rewatch Value
--> I'd still watch it again--I'd still watch HIM again.

Will update this when I finish the drama
This is the first drama where I got to know Li Hong Yi and fell in love with his cute antics. I just love staring into his eyes in this drama.Their acting was okay.
So far, the story is good. I just wish the ending won't be disappointing. I did peak at the ending without the subtitles and it seems great.
I love the chemistry between the actors and the friendship they formed in the workplace. It made me nostalgic about the chaos and the comradery of the office workers.
Of course, there's the fight for power or position and a third party in the romance.

New Actor?
I don't see the ML name in MDL but I've added it. Hopefully, it gets accepted soon.STORY - It's something we may have fantasized about sometime in our early years. Meeting prince charming. The beginning and middle parts are good. The ending sucks!
CAST - ML is eye candy. I can't help being captivated by how good he looks. There were times he reminded me of Aaron Deng.
ACTING - So-so. Their acting is not that good in the emotional scenes.
MUSIC - I am tone-deaf. LOL.
