For a long time I stayed away from this drama due to its length. I’m so glad I finally decided to watch it because it was awesome! Even though it’s a melodrama it’s very balanced. There’s just the right amount of romance, sadness, happiness, angst, and intrigue. Even though it has a love triangle it’s not drawn out for too long and the side couples were super cute.

The story:
It’s basically the story about a young man who lost his father when he was graduating college. He’s suddenly thrown into the corporate world running his fathers large and successful business. He was lied to and cheated by those closest to his family so he starts having trust issues. He then meets the female lead who is super sweet and is devastated to find out she’s dying. They have a whirlwind romance while they are both on vacation. But when he returns home and finds out that the female leads story about dying of cancer was a lie and that everything that happened to them on the island where they met was a lie, he’s furious. To make matters worse, they end up having to work together and he repeatedly takes revenge on her. After a lot of misunderstandings the truth comes out that the female lead was such a workaholic that her family lied to her about her dying just to get her to take a break and go on vacation. He feels terrible about his behavior and becomes this sweet charming guy that’s impossible to resist. I love how dedicated and loyal he is to her throughout the drama. He never waivers in his support of her.

The romance:
The romance in this drama is pretty spicy. The shower scene between the main leads was the steamiest scene I’ve ever watched in an Asian drama. I’ve seen individual shower scenes but never one with two people together making out in a shower. And the way the male lead likes to bite and tug at the female leads lips while he kisses her is just so sexy. I also like that we get to see the main leads beyond just getting together and dating. We see them in their married life and beyond which is nice.

The acting:
There’s some really good acting in this drama. I loved everyone. They all had me into their characters and their storylines. The side characters were so charming, especially the sweet little grandma. I also loved the the female leads father that was so loving and supportive of her. But the female leads relationship with her little sister was just so touching and gave me all types of feels. There are also multiple couples that each have their own interesting storylines so the drama never gets draggy. The male leads sister and her romance woes was so realistic and relatable too.

If I had a complaint it would be that it gets a little melodramatic and cheesy sometimes but since this is a melodrama that’s to be expected. And the length is way longer than anything I’ve ever watched but honestly, it was so good I’ve rewatched it. The romance of the main leads is just so amazing that I can’t help but go back and relive it. I would say if you’re sitting on the fence with this one then just take a leap and watch it. You won’t regrets it.
