Let me start by saying I put this drama off for quite a while. No matter what I had heard about it, every time I thought I'd give it a shot I would pass and move onto something else. That being said, I'm really glad I finally watched this. It was the type of drama that literally had me up until 6:00am because each episode had me dying to know what would happen next.
Story: I expected the first few episodes set in the 70's to be boring but they are what set the stage for the rest of the drama and it was nice to see how everything started between In Ha and Yoon Hee and their friends. Fast forward 30 years and you see the effects of what happened so long ago being passed onto their children bc of what they saw or experienced growing up. The children's personalities couldn't be more different than their parents. Especially Jun and Ha Na. This story likes to go from funny, to cute, to heart wrenching then funny, cute and heart wrenching again. It's kind of a vicious cycle but that's just how it works in dramas. There's a lot of laughs, sweet moments and lots and lots of tears between the characters. The story flowed nicely but as always, there are a lot of things not said between the characters that could get really frustrating for the viewer. Parts of it were kind of boring and once I got to the last few episodes I did fast forward or not really pay attention to some parts. I wasn't really interested in In Ha & Yoon Hee's relationship either. It got old pretty fast but the story wouldn't have worked without it either. This drama did have a lot of episodes so it got a little slow at times but still great for the most part.
Cast: Of course, JGS delivered. Just when I think he couldn't do any better, he proves me wrong. He was really good playing both In Ha and Jun and both characters were so different. Yoona also did really well. I haven't seen her in anything before but I thought her acting was really great and natural. The parents were o.k. A little boring. Hye Jung definitely had a case of the crazies though! It wasn't that she was evil, just had to be in control and would make super rash and irrational decisions out of anger and panic. That character was a mess.
Music: The music fit this drama really well. It's the first that I've heard a variety of different genre's and it wasn't all Korean. There were a lot of American songs being played as well.
Rewatch Value: I only scored this so low bc like I said, there are a lot of episodes and some of it could be boring. Plus, this wasn't a rom com. It was a pretty serious heart wrenching story so after some time and maybe fast forwarding some parts it could be rewatched.
Overall: I thought this drama was really great and it exceeded all my expectations (which wasn't much honestly). If you want to watch a true love story and the heart break that can come with it bc of unfortunate circumstances, this is your drama.
