A frustrating watch.

Note: this is long but I have a lot to say.
This series started out with so much potential but spiralled out of control and was ultimately a let down. I loved the beginning episodes where they introduce the 4 men into the FLs life and the mystery surrounding who the father of Ha Nee is. BUT there were a few things I found extremely annoying as the series progressed:

1. I wanted more on the love square - she didn’t seem interested in any of them she often would just stare at them when they were talking to her or interrupt them when they’re about to make some progress. In the scene where Dae-O protects Ha Nee and ends up in hospital Ae-Jong does not even ask about him when she wakes up. She asks about Ha Nee and hears about Dong Chan and Mr. Koo but then doesn’t even ask about Dae-O who ran into the building to protect her daughter.
2. They draggggedd out the father search, it should have been revealed much sooner because it was pretty obvious.
3. None of the misunderstandings were cleared up - she just kept letting her daughter believe the wrong things and hate the dad who actually had no idea that he had a daughter in the first place. They also never cleared things up to the public or between all the characters so nobody had the full story and they left Dae-O looking like the bad guy and nobody else took accountability for their part in everything.
4. They focused way too much on the past which made no sense because the main characters didn’t even have that great of a relationship to begin with. They just kept trying to remake the past, there was no focus on their current relationship.
5. NO ROMANTIC SCENES. we get a measly kiss in a hospital but that’s it, nothing more when they finally end up together.
6. We also see no family reuniting moments - I would’ve liked to see them move in together with Ha Nee and rekindle the relationship.

In general, they dragged out the end, they dragged out the father thing, they dragged out the misunderstandings instead of clearing it up and letting the characters start anew. I would not recommend watching this.
