This story is told in the past and present. The young cast are awesome and most likely well see more of them in future dramas and lead roles. They’re so good and natural. I’m particularly impressed with Hong Min Ki, (young Seok Ji Won) as he really nailed his role. Wow. The back story is good with a few annoyance's of repeats. Though the flashbacks are good, it continues to be a mystery of what actually happened. As the older and current characters meet again, there’s a lot of angst in the two leads. What exactly happened? That’s what makes the beginning episodes up to six or seven. Yes, there’s annoyances here and there because i feel it’s a little messy in some parts. However, it’s a great anticipation to see what separated these young people, especially since they were so in love. So, be patient as it gets better as the why’s clears up..

Episode seven is where it really picks up. It’s where the heart starts to flutter as the adults begin adulting in their decisions and truths. This is where you can say, okay then let’s get this romance going. Up to episode ten, relationship building intensifies, and their shared cuteness becomes your own smile. It’s like the shortcomings of the beginning is redeemed and insignificant because the present is satisfying. Lots of cute moments, lots of rewatch moments.

I’m greatly enjoying this. Maybe for those in mid ages it comes as refreshing as most rom-com features younger cast in twenties to early thirties. Leads here are in forties and in a way, they portray what dating can look like in that age. Regardless, it’s super cute and just my right cup of tea seeing this couple reignite what was lost many years ago.

Jun Ji Hoon ( Seok Ji Won) is a handsome man, so of course he holds my attention. More than that though, this role in a rom-com is so welcoming. I mean, for people in his age group and beyond, it’s cool to see that love may not be secured in your younger years but can come later when it’s right. I like his characters calmness in all things, even in challenging moments (getting slapped by dad in front of his love). That maturity is every woman’s want and he does it so well, in action and in his voice. Jung Yu Mi (Yun Ji Won) is alright. Though I might have a suggestion for another actress, she wins me over as story progresses. No sense in criticizing because she is the chosen one so the best I can do is root for her. They look good together in their role although, I wish they can be more natural in expressions and action. After all, they are older, in script and in life.

The rest of the cast has its role to push story forward and they all play their parts well. Ji Won’s assistant is super cute with his banters with his boss. Their relationship is adorable. Though I’ve seen it multiple, numerous times as obviously it’s normal there, I still can’t swallow the controlling and manipulation of parents, to the point of physical abuse. Episode 10 ended in such a high sweet note in their relationship I would love it if producers don’t bungle it up with unnecessary complications taking priority for the last two episodes. Sad there’s only two episodes left as it’s been a welcoming treat after weeks busyness.

Tell Me You Love Me, The Trunk, My Sweet Mobster, Love to Hate You, and this one are among my favorites in my own categorized list of sweet ajumma/ajussi series. I’m hoping for a sweet wrap for this and add it to my new list of rewatches. Love love the OST too. So soothing to the heart and ears. So enjoyable, so good. Hope you give it a try, with lots of beginning patience. (May be back for post conclusion after completion but anyways, thanks for reading).
