This is a missed opportunity. It should have been a two hours movie. Two and a half max. There are many parts that are not necessarily important to the story and don't really offer much. For me, most of the running time is a filler. The total is around 6,5 hours and it could be 2 or 2,5 hours in total. I would totally rewatch this as a movie right now.

Of course it's not even close to perfection, but it's still good enough. Especially the ending. Unlike other reviewers here, I like the way it ends.

This isn't the first time I've watched a Korean series and though that it could have been better as a movie. Or a Korean movie that could have been better as a series. It's a pity really. Could have been good.

I wasn't going to write a review, but since there's literally no other, I'll leave this one here to help other people.

This is the highest I've rated a Chinese drama so far. My second "best" rate is a 6 and all the others 4 or below. I've watched many kdramas and although there are many cringey, there are also many that are good. So it's easy to choose. That's not the case with Chinese dramas (at least for me). I've tried to watch some of them, mainly the most well known, but I didn't like them. If I'm not mistaken I, only watched 3 or 4 from the first to the last episode.

To be honest I had almost given up trying to find a good Chinese drama and then I watched this one, just out of curiosity. Definitely not perfect, but it's not cringey (at least for the most part), the acting is good and realistic and the story is very nice.

As a 35 years old male, this wouldn't be my kind of thing to watch, but I still liked it.

I'm not really into office/work related dramas, but since I am literally out of options, I decided to give it a try.

One thing that annoys me in many kdramas is the overacting. It's a good thing that this is not one of them. I enjoyed the acting of the main leads. I think they did a great job.

Story wise, I can't say that I didn't like it, but since I am not a fan of this kind of kdramas (as I mentioned above), I can't really say much besides the fact that I found it really "long". Although it's not slow paced, I felt like each episode wouldn't end. I don't regret watching it though.

The one thing that I really didn't like is the mixing of the sound and the sound quality. The music is too loud and in many scenes it's hard to listen to the actors. This is why I gave only 6 stars. It was extremely annoying for me. It must be the worst mixing I've heard in a drama or a movie.
