This is such a nice take on the melodrama genre. For a melodrama, it made me feel a lot of things - it has comedy, thriller, mystery, romance and strong casts and story. I never watched a melodrama that made me feel hopeful and good. Despite its gloomy vibe, there's something about it that drew me in. I did like it overall but have to say that its a shame it had some stupid tropes it could have very well done without. That's such a game changer for me. Without those, this drama would have been a perfect classic. It was already a satisfying watch but definitely was capable of doing better.

Things I liked:
-The strong points of this drama are for sure its characters and the music. Without the characters/actors who played their roles so well, this drama would have been average overall.

-The music was part of the viewing experience. Its been a while since I watched a drama that was able to cleverly use music/osts to accompany scenes. Every osts was wonderful because they were used at the right scenes and at the right timing. The scenes wouldn't have had the same impact without them. The last time I felt strongly this way was from My Mister and Doctor John.

-It took me a while to warm up to the idea of our main couple together. I didn't immediately see what a lot of people were talking about in regards to their chemistry together. Later on, after seeing their instagram lives and as we progressed more in the story - its safe to say they have become one of my favourite onscreen couples. They were polar opposites but complemented each other so well.

-The supporting actors helped take the viewing experience up a notch. There was variety of personalities so it really improved the overall mood of the drama. I always looked forward to seeing their scenes too because they were fun and entertaining.

- The drama used a lot of symbolism and parallels to showcase development and progress. I really liked those details, and they were easier to spot thanks to My Mister.

Things I did not like so much:

-As a lot of other people have pointed out already, the beginning started out strong only to peter out in the end. I don't know what happened, but the fact that they had to use some cliche tropes didn't help the drama. I am not against using cliche tropes especially if they're executed well and help the story progress, in this case though I felt like it was completely unnecessary because it took the overall quality of the drama down.

In general, that was all that I didn't like about the drama really. I feel like it's all encapsulated there. Overall, I'm glad I watched this drama. The vibe was exactly what I was looking for. I loved both our leads in their other projects. With Kim Dong Wook in The Guest. I saw Moon Ga Young in Live Up To Your Name and the fact that she stood out to me so much despite the minor role means she's done brilliantly. I wanted then to see her one day in a main role and she didn't disappoint. The range of emotions she's shown here was admirable. It's always so nice to see actors be so completely immersed in their roles.
