Cute, Romantic and A Relationship completely Bingeworthy

I honestly quite liked this series. The ML is known for his short dramas and I really enjoyed watching him here too. This was my first drama of the FL and I really liked her in this drama. This was a very good mini romance drama I've seen for a while. People might comment on the editing and the chemistry but personally I had no issues with the drama. Nothing out of the ordinary was there in the storyline since I have seen many dramas already but still this one made me feel good watching it. For me, the chemistry was really good between the leads. The start of the drama was a great romcom which gradually progressed where the leads had to solve the problems they faced. What I really enjoyed was the bond shown between the leads and the way the FL kept denying her feelings. Also even after problems arose, the two of them were never apart. They both trusted each other and got through the problems faced. The visuals of both the leads are very attractive and their romantic scenes were worth the watch for me. I would really recommend this drama if you are looking for a mini drama with cute, attractive and understanding leads with good chemistry. I personally like dramas where there is no separation of the leads and they go through everything together. This is the one for you if you are looking for the same.
One thing I really felt pointing out would be that I found the antagonist to be pretty dumb and of no use in a way. I know it might be the story but it felt his role didn't matter a lot. He should've been a little more active in the series in doing his job and also being successful in creating proper difficulties for the leads.
All in all I found it to be a good watch and would really recommend it for people looking for sweet contract marriage dramas.

A Romcom worth the while

Firstly I would like to say that all the cast members did a great job in their respective roles. To me, no one felt lacking in any way.
Song Kang seems to be the perfect fit for the role. The charisma needed to be shown by the character Gu Won was perfectly depicted by him. His acting seemed great and emotions could be felt to the audience. Looking at him playing the character was really a delight.
Kim Yoo Jung proved how experienced actor she is. Couldn't have had a better female lead to accompany Song Kang. Do Hee's character was perfectly played by Kim Yoo Jung. All emotions she portrayed could be felt by heart.
Starting my review from the first 4 episodes: I was personally hooked on to the show from the first episode, the encounters between the leads and the later tragedies were perfectly fit in the episodes. The plot was made perfectly understandable from the start and the episodes and their storyline always made me want to know more about the story. All characters were shown in these starting episodes and had some screen time to each of them. The episodes had great comic lines and equal amount of other things going around to make the audience hooked upon the show. Most important thing that dramas should have is the power to keep the audience engaged in the starting episodes and this drama hit that note well.
Episodes 4-8: The main plot started to take place here. All the conspiracy in the drama can be seen unfolding in these episodes in the perfect pace. Each episode ending was made so perfect that would keep you on your toes for the whole week waiting for the next episodes. Gu Won characters develops quite a bit in this stage and shows different emotions in him. Both leads share a great chemistry in this part especially the comic timings in these episodes. Focus also starts mainly to finding the culprit and keeping Do Hee safe. The scenes were always some what predictable but the way they were shown and portrayed by the characters was what made a difference.
Episodes 8-12: The chemistry between the leads is best shown in this part. A perfect honeymoon phase starts that everyone would love to watch. The leads slowly get closer to finding the culprits step by step. Some parts of the past also start unfolding which makes the story interesting making one wonder how Gu Won ended up like this. Many questions remain unanswered during these episodes but the way the main leads carry the story was just great.
Episodes 12-16: The climax part of the drama was expected yet was able to bring some unexpected twists. All questions are answered well in these episodes. Unlike some dramas where everything is hurried up in the last episode, this drama did it well in maintaining an appropriate pace in unfolding the story. Nothing felt too fast or slow. The last episode will also leave one satisfied since nothing was left to be completed at the very end. All moments that a viewer would want are shown.

There were scenes in every episode that felt heart touching, gave you a smile and kept you wondering.
Madam Ju had a good impact till the end of the story even though one might feel in the early parts of the drama that she had less screen time.
Noh Suk Min was as expected and one could predict everything about him yet his portrayal kept me engaged.
Seok Hoon showed clear feelings since the start yet he was not predictable and one would question his intentions till quite some time throughout the drama. It was good to see his character was never made over clingy or interfering and was just perfect as a supporting person. His comic scenes with Gu Won were quite enjoyable.
Ga Young might have seemed a bit irritable at first but to be honest till the end she become a great person. Even her actions in the first half of the show were understandable after watching the whole show. Ga Young actually was a very determined person and I personally loved her character.
Do Hee's secretary and Park Bok Gyu were a gem considering the amount of laughter they gave to the audience. Their scenes with each other and their respective superiors were very cute and funny. Both showed equal love for their superiors. Bok Gyu's back story was quite some fun to watch. Both these characters played and important role in helping the main leads throughout their whole journey.
All office characters were prefect and a joy to watch. I could easily watch more of them on screen.
Do Hee's family had many issues yet their roles were portrayed well. Knowing more about them would have made the audience connect more to them, although I have no complains since the characters which got more screen time were actually the ones that should've been given in the first place.

The production of the drama seems great. The scenes and scenery shown are beautiful. Some scenes were edited so perfect that you would fall in love with the scene. The water scene on the small rocky beach type area was just perfect and I could've kept watching it.
The OST was just perfect. Can't get enough of 'Our night is more beautiful than day'. One of the best OST's of 2023 for me. The background music be it in the fight scenes or romantic scenes was on point and enhanced the beauty of the scenes.

In some parts it did feel like they are taking some time to show the obvious and felt that there could be some more story added to the show. Last episode might feel like a filler episode with cute scenes. The story was predictable at many points which made the cast the biggest reason to be hooked on to the show. The back story was shown twice at a point in the show which dragged an episode. Some characters could have been explained better.

I can honestly not find many shortcomings since I really liked the show although I do know it wasn't a perfect 10. Overall I would highly recommend it people who love to watch a cute bubbly romcom with a mystery storyline.

Hop on to a journey of Love and Loyalty amidst a land of chaos.

First, I would just like to say how beautiful the leads look together.
The chemistry between Xu Kai and Jing Tian itself will make you fall in love with drama.
This is one of the few dramas that has ticked every possible box a viewer expects while watching a drama.
There was action(that too equally by both the leads) and romance and a perfect storyline to fit it all.
For me this was a drama that shouldn't be missed.

I would like to talk about how great Xu Kai is in all his dramas be it modern or costume dramas. He showed how experienced he is in this field and the way he is in portraying the emotions of the character. I literally cried when he cried and seeing his character in struggling moments made me feel sad for him and seeing him happy brought me joy. His visuals and acting are just to good and his commitment to the scene is commendable.

I first saw Jing Tian in the drama 'Rattan' and loved how she brought life to that character and even though one might wonder she acted a bit stiff in the drama but honestly, I felt that it was how that character had to be played to show her being different from humans. In this drama she played her so gracefully that one might fall in love with Cui Lin. A character who is funny, strong, pretty, just, smart and what not. Having so many traits in a single character and for an artist to show all those sides and bringing the character to life is not easy but Jing Tian accomplished it.

Gao Han did a great job in playing a person obsessed with Cui Lin and the different sides of his character her were shown really well. He played a really good role of an antagonist creating problems for the leads in the drama. I really liked the effort he put into playing such a role. I pitied him at times and felt angry on his actions in the next second.

Tao Zi was such a great character in the show. A perfect subordinate to a general. She was smart, joyous and lovable. Seeing the actress play her character made me want to be friends with her in real life. Such a loving personality was written for Tao Zi.

Xie Chang was also a great subordinate to Li Ni. He too was an adorable character. Showing him dumb when it came to love was really adorable. Seeing him besides Xu Kai was a delight.

I would really like to compliment Zeng Li on her role in the drama. She is such an exceptional actress. Even though she plays mostly support roles in recent times but her experience just glows in her acting. Every drama she works in, she brings a different spark to it. Her emotions can be felt by everyone.

All characters played a great role in this drama. No one seemed to have fallen short in any way. Even the negative roles were played brilliantly to the way that one might actually feel unhappy by their actions.

The story flew like a river flowing into the sea. It started very well and the first encounter of the leads just stole my heart. Their interactions from then were so enjoyable. Both planned against each other and kept falling in each others trap. Even their fights showed us how great their chemistry was. The understanding between them without talking a lot just gives the viewers goals as to how a relationship should be. Even though being from different armies their love did not need to be compromised. They stayed true to each other and did not favor even a single time.
The first 10 episodes were a great build up as to how the leads build their relationship with various encounters on different occasions. Both help each other get through difficulties and get to know each other. There were many fun moments in this span which made the start of the drama more enjoyable and the cuteness in their interactions was on another level. There was planning and plotting going on between the two armies to take down certain cities and both wanted to be better than the other.
The next 10 episodes are also similar except some grieving for the FL and also because of it she distances herself a bit from the ML but it was always clear that their love would not waver. The ML's side brothers face pressure because of the ML's success in wars and his capability and their father also fears the same so they try creating problems for him. The ML meets the FL's father and things start getting interesting here. One interesting character introduce here is Prime Minister Gu's daughter, she is a well written smart and cunning character.
In 20-30 episodes there is a lot happening, the antagonist returns and plots with the ML's enemies since he wants revenge and wants FL by his side. The ML and FL's father get to know each other and new bonds form. The second leads also develop a great relationship by now. The antagonist does play dirty tricks to get back at ML some of which one wouldn't imagine. There is one part in this arc though that would make viewers feel that the ML lost trust in the FL which also may be justified by his actions but I felt he had his reasons which some might agree to. Here the ML's brothers start plotting against each other that too in a harsher way. Even people in the ML's court join the enemies. In this part Prime Minister Gu's daughter also starts playing her tricks.
In the final 10 episodes there is a rollercoaster of emotions waiting. So much is happening that you wouldn't want to stop watching. There is an incident with the ML's close group of soldiers which will leave the ML in shatters where the FL is always by his side. Then comes an incident with the FL and a great plot twist. In this while the people with evil intentions will be revealed. Coming out of it becomes a question for viewers and the ending episodes reveals things that one would expect yet not believe in that expectation.

The OST was also very good especially the songs are written beautifully. I myself wanted to read Chinese poems because of this cause they have such beautiful lines. The song of the brothers(the ML and his close group of soldiers) was also a great addition to the music of the drama.

The production was very goof. All costumes and sets were beautiful. It was visible that this was a drama where the heart of the people was poured into.

I honestly write some negatives/improvements I feel in the drama towards the end but this one just has my heart and I have no such comments this time. It was a great journey of two people shown such beautifully that one might wonder if they could have been in that place.

I will always have your time with me in my heart cause that's what keeps me alive

This was a good mini drama and I started it after reading the plot because I found it interesting.
The first 3-4 episodes were really good and that's what makes you want to complete a mini drama.
Mini drama's may also be left half way by viewers if the start is not good but this one ticked that box.
The leads had good chemistry which is one of the main things required in mini dramas.
The supporting characters definitely did a good job in troubling the leads. What was more interesting is that everyone tried to break apart the main leads which made it interesting to see how they will face the challenges that will come up.
There was definitely good amount of push and pull between the leads which will keep the viewers excited about their relation.
I would definitely recommend it for at least a one time watch cause it ticked many boxes that you want to see in a mini drama.

P.S- If you complete the drama you will understand the meaning behind the title I have given for my review so do let me know if you liked it.
.
Also, I tend to not give any spoilers regarding the story because I feel the summary given by MDL is enough to get an idea of the drama's concept. If you wanna know more about the story or about something particular in the drama feel free to ask me.

Love hurts but it is love after all

This is my first time seeing a drama with such a theme and honestly I felt it was a good one time watch. I don't normally watch dramas where one of the lead inflicts pain or hurts others feelings just to get back at them but this did end the misunderstandings between the leads in the first half of the drama so it was a good point. What I liked about the drama was that the chemistry of the leads was clearly visible throughout the drama. Even when they had conflicts the bond between them was always seen. The story had nothing special about it except the relation between the leads and how it advanced. All side characters also did well, nothing extraordinary or falling short of. In short dramas everything depends on the acting and chemistry of the main leads and the story/genre. Here the acting chemistry was good and that made me stick to the drama. This can be a one time watch but don't expect it to have happy moments from the start. This can be a serious drama with romance but that too is not that clearly seen till the ending episodes. If you are wanting to watch a happy romance drama then this is not for you.

The perfect revenge does exist

One of the best revenge dramas for me without a doubt.
All tags of the drama couldn't be more justified.
This is one of the dramas that made me always wanted to know what's coming next.
Normally I tend to skip a few seconds of dramas in which I know the dialogues will be the same old ones but in this one I dare not skip a single second.

I have to admit that the casting of this drama couldn't have been more characters.
Even though Song Joong Ki is the reason I put this on my watchlist and I guess not only me but many viewers, I have to admit that there couldn't have been a better performance than the one by Lee Sung Min.
Lee Sung Min truly deserves the Baeksang award for this. His experience and dedication were clearly seen in his character.
Song Joong Ki felt a good cast for his characters especially Jin Do Jun's cause I could feel the university boy in him.
To be honest I did like Shin Hyun Been's character and the way she played it well but I wouldn't have felt bad even if the romantic touch was removed. No doubt about it that those moments felt good in this plot of revenge and family drama where each one wants to drag down the other but even her character wouldn't have been written the story would not feel lacking is what I felt.
All the supporting characters for me were very good and some of the actors I've seen playing similar roles and they did not disappoint at all. One thing I hoped for was to see more of Park Ji Hyun's character. Even though she did not get much screen time she did a great job in playing her role.
I completely forgot to mention Tiffany and I have to say I was always a fan of hers and watching her in the drama was just perfect. I couldn't have possibly asked for more. She was just perfect in her role and I was just excited for her scenes to come.

It's been a long time so I don't remember everything exactly but if I were to talk about the drama itself then the plot and it's build up. No characters felt hiding their true nature during initial stages of the drama. The game of succession started from the get go. Jin Do Jun even as a kid seemed so cool. He was clearly a prodigy after Hyun Woo came as him. The show builds up pretty well without feeling dragged. Different business plans in the show and different plans of each of the Jin siblings to inherit the position from their father are quite interesting to see being unfolded. Even Sung Joon joined the drama and made things more interesting. Overall not giving away any specific spoilers I would say that all characters have done a great job, the production quality is great and the pacing is also quite good. I would definitely recommend it to those who wish to watch a revenge drama based on conglomerates, also having a fantasy side.

A Dream That Was and That Never Was

This was honestly one of the most unique short drama I have watched till date.
After watching few types of short dramas you generally know what will come up next in new dramas but this was completely different from what I predicted in each episode.
The initial episodes itself had such a great grasp on the story that I just got engrossed in it.
The story in the later stage flows quite well and no time the drama ends.
At times short dramas too feel a bit dragged but this was perfectly short and crisp.
I liked this drama a lot and honestly didn't have time to find any shortcomings cause I felt like going on with the episodes and in no time I finished binge watching it.

Both actors were new to me and I have to say they did have good chemistry and their acting too was good.
Short dramas aren't usually highly rated and I too don't expect much from short dramas but for me this definitely deserves a good rating.

I also liked the OST in the drama which short dramas don't focus majorly on, so this also counts as a plus point for me.

I haven't read comments or spoilers in the comments section but do give it a try.
This drama is definitely worth a watch.

You Are My Salvation

I am writing a review after ages and that itself is something which shows how much I liked this drama.
Keeping the review short and insightful I would say that first of all that the story of the drama is really good.
I've watched a lot of Asian dramas but it's been long since I encountered such a gripping story.
This is probably as far as I know the start of fame for the main leads and I guess after this drama they do need to be praised.
I have literally cried many times during their interactions in the drama and that makes this worthwhile. I never knew Jang Ki Yong was so good in expressing emotions and being my first time watching Jin Ki Joo, I was really impressed by her acting.
The way both the lead actors carried the emotions of guilt, sadness and sorrow was heart touching.
You can just see the chemistry between them by seeing them look at each other.
After seeing Heo Joon Ho in the role of Yoon Hui Jae I cant imagine any other actor performing this role better. One can literally feel the obsession that a psychopath has through his acting.

The pacing of the drama is very good and episodes being of 30 mins, you wont feel it dragging even a bit. I at times feel tough to binge watch hour long episodes of dramas but with such intense and interesting 30 mins episodes, I could easily binge watch 4-5 at a time. The story keeps flowing without any fillers or such as far as I remember.

OST of the drama is also quite good. Not one of the best I've heard, but surely good enough for me to not want to skip it.

One thing I feel about the drama is that if you start liking it then you will surely love it till the end but if you dont then it will be tough to continue with the episodes.

Personally, for me this drama is a masterpiece, and I won't compare it to any other drama. It is surely worth trying cause it is not a common story that you may find. This was an initial major role for both actors and they have their poured their heart in this drama and you will surely be able to see it.

In the end I feel no drama is a perfect 10 but everyone has their own taste and everyone has dramas they want to give a 10 to.
For me this truly deserves a 9.5
There are some parts where it might feel some decisions of leads or some things could have been different in the drama but honestly I wouldn't change anything. The ending of the drama was so meaningful and so apt for the whole story and there couldn't have been a better closure to this.

I don't remember you by your face but your heart

I would just start by saying this has become one of my favorite short dramas.
This is one of those dramas which will keep you on your toes.
The chemistry between the actors was very very good and both the female leads portrayed their part to the best. The emotions that they showed on screen could be felt by me.
Both the male leads did and equally good job but somehow, I felt the prince's character was a bit more challenging considering the variety of emotions he had to show and how obsessed he had to be portrayed, and even after all these situations the actor did a great job in playing the character.
The story was something new to me as I haven't encountered one like this.
The casting was really good and I couldn't personally find any flaws in the actors portrayal of their characters.
Pacing of dramas is one of the thing that makes me either like or hate the drama because as a viewer when you watch a drama and you find it leading to nowhere in quite many episodes it becomes boring. This drama definitely did not make me want to skip any scenes or drop it.
I really loved the OST in this drama. If you are someone who loves to read the meaning of the OST in the translations then this one will definitely check that box. The lyrics are so beautiful that it made want to write it down and treasure them.
All actors including the supporting cast were exceptionally good. Even the supporting characters had such a beautiful impact on the drama.
The story starts really well with a good mystery factor in the plot. The plot advances with a good pacing and the mystery factor remained in the drama till the end. One after the other some or the other problems did arise in the show which made the drama interesting considering the plot. The chemistry of the actors was what made the drama even more watchable. The drama had great physical intimacy as well as well as ample amount of heart touching emotional scenes and great visual chemistry.
What stole the show for me was the character of Yuan Bao. She had such great importance in bringing the leads together. Her character even though being so young was very smart and that made the character even more cuter because no one expects a small kid to be so smart. Her interactions with all characters on the show were so heart touching and when there were scenes of the leads with Yuan Bao it felt like a dream family.

What makes dramas special is their ability to make you want the story to be real and this drama definitely did it.
For me this was a great watch and I would definitely recommend it those who like romance dramas with a mystery factor and those like dramas where there is portrayal of a happy family.

Revenge or Love???

I liked this drama and definitely would recommend it for a watch.
For a mini drama it did check quite many boxes although it wasn't a perfect one or a one that would make you want to rewatch it again and again.
The visuals of the main leads were great. Dai Gao Zheng is known for his visuals and again in this show he fell nothing short of a viewer's expectation. Flora Dai also looked great in the show and to me there seemed to be decent amount of chemistry.
What I liked and disliked together were the FL's determination for revenge although honestly it did make the show interesting.
The drama could've been honestly a little longer showing more interactions between the leads towards the end because believe me you'll know looking at the end why I am saying so.
The story was somewhat predictable, but the actors did a great job keeping me hooked on to the drama,
It was overall a good watch, and I would recommend it to people liking revenge dramas.

When You Love Someone You Love All Versions Of Them

This is my first time writing a review for a Lakorn and it obviously is because this is a Lakorn worth taking out time to write about. The plot itself reminds you of the twilight saga but believe me this is a very different concept and honestly a quite good one. I started this drama because of it's unique story line and was not at all disappointed.
This is a great drama where you may think of romance of the main concept but in the depths the main concept is a great message of how wildlife should be protected. This Lakorn had good amount of drama and a fantasy part to it with a great plot for romance. It shows us how love should be and how love conquers all in the end.

Speaking of Tono, I had first watched him in 'Flash Marriage' and loved his part there so I came here to explore more of his works. He has done a great job in this Lakorn too. He always makes you feel that you need someone like him in life. Even after having such a huge responsibility on his shoulders which he never wanted or was destined to burden he did not expect anything in return for fulfilling it. His character showed great development from someone who did not want to handle the responsibility he was given to understanding that someone needs to burden it and accepting it and fulfilling his duties well. Dr. Sama's character was really very well written and his journey was shown quite well. His story will make you pity him and him finding love again will bring a smile on your face cause that's how happy you will be seeing someone with these struggles having someone to love and be loved.

This was my first time watching Richy in a Lakorn and I honestly liked her play the lead role. She really felt completely suited to play Paarichart. She has the innocence that was needed for the character. Also her acting was quite good as needed by the character. One thing I felt could have been improved were her reactions when Dr. Sama was hurt or in trouble, at those moments it felt a few times that enough emotions were not put or her reactions as someone whose lover is injured or in trouble should have been more pitiful.
Overall I loved the pairing of the actors. They seemed perfect for the roles and had good chemistry too.

Xiang did a wonderful job in playing Kalong. Couldn't have asked for someone else to play such a sweet role. Her smile itself was so full of warmth. I could actually see a young immature girl who is loving and caring in her. Her journey since childhood and how she developed all her emotions were so well explained and shown brilliantly. I don't have much words to describe Kalong but she is one of the cutest characters for sure.
March was also a perfect fit for the role of Nonta. He was able to show the viewers how a boy ridden from his birthright would act as he grew up. At some points he did a good job in troubling Dr. Sama. His character development can be considered the best one as he overcame hi issues as well as made peace with his past. Being still considered a young man his character proved to be written very well by giving him a mature side too.

All other actors played their roles well especially the hunter who did manage to keep bringing till the end.
A special mention to the characters of Lee and Sa cause they were a treat to watch. Seeing them could easily bring a smile to your face. They are the cutest brothers you would see.

The OST was really good. If I'm not wrong 2 songs are played most frequently and of them the song when there are sweet moments just stole my heart. Completely deserving of being added to your playlist.

Pacing of the drama was also quite fair enough. If it would have been more episodes it would become boring so honestly a great work on editing to keep it a 12 episode Lakorn. All things were explained clearly in the drama and nothing remained unanswered.

Definitely worth a watch if you wanna watch something in the fantasy romance genre. And honestly this was a Lakorn with a very good concept and something new.

P.S- I tend to not give any spoilers regarding the story because I feel the summary given by MDL is enough to get an idea of the drama's/Lakorn's concept. If you wanna know more about the story or about something particular in the Lakorn feel free to ask me.

Love will always find it's way

I will just begin with appreciating how beautiful the story is written and how well the actors have played their role.
This is one of those dramas where not a single character seemed lacking to me or not needed.
I have watched Military Prosecutor Doberman which has Ahn Bo Hyun in the lead role and I really loved the show so I had been keen on watching more shows by him but didn't happen to pick on one before this. His role in this show is completely different from that in Military Prosecutor Doberman so I wanted to see this side of his where he acted in a mystery romcom and I am very happy I picked this show. He just made the character of Seo Ha perfect.
This is my first time watching a drama of Shin Hye Sun and after watching this I can only ask myself as to why it took me such a long time to watch her dramas. Her acting brought life to Ban Ji Eum's character. So many emotions needed to be portrayed by her and she accomplished it perfectly.
This is one of the shows I have watched where child actors are given a good amount of screen time and honestly it did not disappoint at all. All the child actors were exceptional in their role especially the roles played by Kim Shi Ah and Park So Yi. Their dedication to live up to the role is phenomenal.
It is not in all reviews that I mention the OST's of the dramas but this drama does need a mention. The OST in this show was very good and made me add it to my playlist.
Talking about the 1-4 episodes I would say that the child actors perfectly opened the story and made it clear from the get go as to how beautiful the bond was between Ban Ji Eum and Moon Seo Ha. All the details regarding the plot that should be given in the start of a drama were given in a proper pace and the story started unfolding perfectly. All characters that are needed to bind the story were introduced and explained from the beginning making the plot clear. The child actors played a major role in these episodes and you might honestly miss them in the later part of the show.
The 4-8 episodes had everything a viewer might accept from a beautiful romcom. The chemistry between Ahn Bo Hyun and Shin Hye Sun could be seen through their characters. There were many heart touching scenes and also this part of the showed the transition of feelings between characters. No major plot twists took place in this part of the show.
In the 8-12 episodes of the show there were many things that seemed to unfold. Many questions arose during this part of the show and one might sense that things got rushed in this part of the show. Uncovering the mysterious was a major focus of these episodes and the characters are caught up in taking important decisions. While the previous episodes had the building of the relation of the leads this part showed uncertainties in their past and present. The questions were all answered in the end and the story seemed to be completed well.

Now mentioning the points I disliked/liked and thought could be better are:
1. The story in the second half of the show seemed rushed.
2. 4 more episodes making this a 16-episode drama would have been an even better journey.
3. The ending seemed rushed, I felt that more time could be given to the leads in the ending scenes(I personally liked the ending that is given but just wanted more being a happy ending lover)
4. The relation of the characters with each other and other characters was shown very well.
5. The mystery element of the show could be explored a little earlier in the episodes.
6. I loved seeing Seo Ha's sincerity towards Joo Won but would have liked to see his time without her in the show the way Ban Ji Eum's character was shown struggling to get together with Seo Ha. More of his scenes during their time apart would bring more depth to their bond.

Overall, I would say it's a great watch, not many flaws that I could find. People who love romcoms especially some mystery element would really like the show.
