A drama that requires patience but shouldn't be missed. I was drawn to this drama because the vibe seemed so different from most Kdramas, and I really liked the core concept that the drama promised to give us but couldn't deliver it well. Before digging in deep, Know that this drama mainly focuses on soppy romance that imo wasn't even required in this genre, but oh well. SO if you're not a fan of cliched romance stories and you plan to watch this solely because of the business plotline and the romance scenes makes you puke then I'd suggest that you put this on hold for now and watch it when you have nothing on your mind and when you're extremely bored. (I suggest binge watching, so you don't suffer like I did lol)
I wont say don't watch this drama, there were some characters that were so pure and you can relate to their struggles like Grandma, HJP, and Injae as well. I'd really want you all to watch this drama because i don't want you to miss out on these heartwarming side storylines. I have never become this attached to any fictional character, heck its not even about the SLS, its just that they had too much potential that was wasted by using these characters as a mere catalyst for developing some chemistry between the main couple.
For me the drama went downhill after 4th episode and the middle story was a complete mess, I havent finished any drama where I disliked the main character, but as i said, there are some gems in this story that keep the story moving and they leave you wanting more of them. The ending didn't satisfy me, but after creating a mess i guess this was the best they can do, so im sort of happy with it! I wanted to rate this not any higher that 7 or 7.5.. Gave this an 8 just because of Han Jipyeong, Grandma and Injae. In my opinion, keep your expectations of character development low but do give it a watch!
