The design of the show is delightful, and there are many visually yummy moments. I was particularly fond of the design of the beach restaurant - it didn't look like anything I've seen in a kdrama before, and it perfectly set the mood for memories of a budding summer romance.
The ensemble seems to have chemistry, though the writing leaves a bit to be desired; the non-lead roles are written rather flatly and unoriginally.
Kim Ji Won is effervescent in the FL role. I always get Barbara Stanwyck vibes from her (solid acting, beautiful, versatile, and never lacking in verve, or moxie, or whatever you want to call it). In this episode, she elevated the writing, which came off as a little too manic-pixie-dream-girl. Other actresses would likely have played up the quirkiness of the role, but Kim Ji Won created a very human and accessible version of tye character, chosing to play the situation rather than the story. Good stuff.
Ji Chang Wook has shaken off some of his "tricks," and he comes across as more human and more mature. While I like the progress he has made as an actor, I still find myself wanting something more from him - something fresh and innovative. Is it vulnerability? I'm not sure yet. Fortunately, he is talented and experienced enough to give a fine performance, even when something seems lacking.
One great thing about these two lead actors is that they know how to create chemistry with their fellow performers. Their chemistry was clearly magnetic in this episode, and I'm relieved that I can trust these actors to continue on in the same way.
If the writing improves, this looks like it will be a really delightful show. Even if it doesn't, as long as the writing doesn't deteriorate, I think that all of the other elements are good enough to make it at least enjoyable.
