My wife and I started this series a few months ago, and gave up during the second episode. It just seemed slow and the acting seemed a tad off. We recently decided to give it another try.
We found it to be pleasant and light, but not great.
The Good Stuff ============ When I first started it, I felt the acting was sub par. Now we finished it I think the acting is mostly fine. The FL (Joy) did a great job, actually, despite not having a ton of acting experience. She is also quite beautiful.
Like in every KDrama we have seen with kids in it, the kids are super cute and do an amazing job with their acting.
The story is nothing new, but it was fun. A pleasant diversion.
Spoiler The ending was happy.
End Spoiler
The Sub-Par Stuff =============
As I noted the acting was mostly fine, with Joy being the best. The ML's ( Choo Young-Woo) acting was usually pretty good, but there were some scenes that he just did not pull off well. They were a tad cringey, I think.
Kind of a ripoff of Hometown Cha Cha Cha, but not as good.
Lack of communication. This is a thing is so many Asian dramas. Here, half of the issues between the leads is because of a lack of communication. The ML is kinda an idiot - when he could explain something that just happened, that bothered the FL so much that she walks away, he just stands there. Duh. GO EXPLAIN! Nope, lets just let things fester! Gads.
Spoiler: The ending was happy, but kind of weak. It's just meh. You'll be like, "Oh, it's over." But you won't be missing the characters all that much.
Overall ====== So, overall a 7 for me. A pleasant diversion, with a wonderful FL, but nothing too special. Worth a watch, especially since it is pretty short.
