This movie was slightly disappointing considering I was waiting for it for quite a while. I was expecting a normal cliched movie with cute characters and a simple storyline. Which was what I did get, except for the fact that the main lead was completely unlikable. Half the time I was confused as to what Moon Chae Won's character felt for Lee Seungi. There was a lot of mixed messages from her and her character itself was very inconsistent. Whilst Moon Chae Won did play Hyun Woo in a way that was believable, I struggled to understand what the character was thinking or feeling half the time (which isn't very good in a rom-com where the whole movie is supposed to be about one characters feeling towards another).
However with Junsoo, I fell in love with instantly. The fact that he took care of Hyun Woo and protected her throughout his whole life made me love him. He never gave up on pursuing a relationship with Hyun Woo and as a viewer made you want to root for him. Visually Hyun Woo and Junsoo made a great couple and having seen Moon Chae Won and Lee Seungi on Running Man it was clear the two had a great relationship and chemistry. But, this chemistry was not shown to us on screen which is what I would have liked.
Overall the movie is okay in terms of a rom-com, with some great humour in places. Although I wouldn't go out of my way to watch this again, this is one of those movies that you can watch with your friends as a light watch.
