I decided to watch this drama because there were many positive reviews and many watchers had agreed that it was very original and noteworthy. However, while I did enjoy (or at least was entertained by) the drama for the most part, there really wasn't anything noteworthy or spectacular about this drama, and I doubt I would watch it again.

In terms of things I liked, I really liked the character development and rational of the main lead actor, Se Hee. While he was an 'emotionless,' apathetic character in the beginning, he didn't really display himself as cold, as many emotionless kdrama characters tend to do. Whenever he did something, he usually thought things through and how those around him might feel. His awkwardness also made him rather funny at time, and made the romantic scenes more memorable as you wouldn't have expected him to behave in that way given his character. For the main lead actress, Ji Ho, for the most part, her choices were also pretty rational, and there weren't a lot of flaws to her as with a lot of main kdrama actresses. In addition, I really love the dialogue behind the 'Room 19.' There were a lot of deep things that could've been taken away.

However, where the BTIMFL turned sour was in the last two episodes. It became really cliche and extra parts/'twists' were added that didn't need to be there. Also, Se Hee began to make really irrational choices that didn't really add up and were contrary to her previous narrative dialogues, especially as it related to her career choice. I think the dialogues surrounding marriage and love that were presented in the situation of Se Hee and Ji Ho should've been the case for Ho Rang and Won Seok. I'm really disappointed with how the ending turned out, and it just left a sour taste on my tongue. Granted the actual ending was wrapped up nicely, but the events leading up to that could've been changed.

Tl;dr: It's an okay/good drama, but nothing noteworthy. I felt like there were a lot of opportunities to make this drama stellar, but it just fell flat, which was rather disappointing.
