i really believe the reviews and rating for the show is greatly exaggerated. this story shows growth through pain and in that way its very realistic! i love realism in dramas espicially romance ones. this show is NOT an fluffy romance, its an view of these two people life and their ups and downs. furthermore, i love how many metaphors and and symbolism this drama has. my favourite part was the message it gave of how you grow from your past experience to become an new version of yourself. its so true and i relate to that alot. one thing i didnt appreciate was the second pairings in the second half of the show. the woman he was going to marry was plain toxic and wanted to be the main character type of vibe. the man she married was too unstable for another marriage in my opinion. although this could of been easily avoided if the ml chased after the fl after their breakup, it shows life is truly unpredictable. i like the open ending but i would most definitely preferred if they got married as it would wrap the drama up nicely ! i would definitely reccomend this drama and i think you should give this an chance and watch it for its lessons and life teachings rather than an rom com
