I watched this show from start to finish as it was airing to keep up with the trends. I enjoy Twitter discourse on kdrama tv shows and this one was getting a lot of buzz. However I frequently found myself having absolutely nothing to say at the end of each episode. To be fair, they did a great job evening the playing field after starting the show with characters who have already broken each other's hearts. It can be tough to rebuild a relationship when the audience already is biased towards one partner. However, the pairing wasn't my problem. These two are great together (though I preferred them both in the Witch) and are fun enough. But all the side characters could've been removed and the story would be no different. All the characters besides the main couple had no life and no understandable motivations. I didn't even care for how any of their storylines wrapped up in the last episode cause I was just happy it was over. I like slice of life dramas but every character should be fleshed out as much as the main ones. It was boring to be frank. I don't see the hype. I really feel like I'm missing something that people find special about this drama.
