Gang Doo and Moon Soo shared traumatic experience when they were both young; They were trapped in the same area together when a mall collapsed on them. Thus, they both are severely traumatized and broken from this experience and later they reconnect as adults and this drama is about them working together to heal and pick up the pieces of their life. This drama has a gritty & grounded-in-reality tone to it. It's quite depressing but at the same time have a very uplifting hopeful vibe to it. The OSTs are gorgeous, they have such meaningful lyrics and give more depth and insight to the story.

Another thing I really loved about is the chemistry between the leads and their romance story. It was a beautiful slow burn, where two people grow individually and together. Acting is outstanding, the way the two portrayed their characters was so sincere and natural that it touched my heart. I think Junho as Gang Doo really carried the show. I liked the female lead, Moon Soo, a lot more in the beginning and as it went on I kind of lost a little bit of interest in her and really invested myself in Gang Doo. His story is also a little bit more interesting as he's definitely far more traumatized by the whole event. He's given so much character development. I also adored the other characters, especially the spunky grandmother, played by Na Moon Hee. She was such a wonderful and welcomed surprise. One thing I don’t like is the plot twist that happened around the finale, but the ending is fine.
