I watched this entire series hoping for redemption…a happy ending where the lead actors would become adults and stand up to their parents and live an happy life together. What we got was some vague goofy smiles on a bridge and a message of “It was good enough we had a few months together and that’s enough to last a lifetime.” What a crock.

I’ve spent some time in Busan and the Hyatt where the love affair began so it was nice recognizing the scenery but this was not enough to redeem such a badly written drama.

The good: Support characters including her needy friend played by Choi Hee Seo, Sehun, even her sick girlfriend were pretty good to watch.
The bad.: the leads had NO chemistry. No amount of lust/love between Song Hye Kyo and Jang Ki Yong. SHK has this waxy persona unconvincing as a person of deep feeling and connection. JKY tried his best with a weak script. His thousand watt smile can temporarily hypnotize you. But not long enough to like the series.
EVERY PARENT IS EVIL, SELFISH, DOMINATING and expects their children to live for them. I hated every one of them and button mashed the fast forward while yelling DIE!

I was glad this is finally over. I am still I am not sure why I watched it until the end except I must have had a spell cast over me. Probably JKYs smile. Such a train wreck of a series.
