Started of great, but needed a few more episodes
I binged watched this show due to clips I saw and it started off great but I do feel that they need a few more episodes. I have not watched many Korean dramas in the recent years, but I feel that 8 episodes was not enough to develop the storyline. It needs at lease 4-6 more episodes. Don't get me wrong, the actors and actresses did a wonderful with what they have, but I would have liked to explore the story and conflicts more. I am a sucker for misunderstandings to be solved quickly, but I also feel that they needed to work on the chemistry.
It just feels weird that he wanted to change his whole life for her after meeting her again. She wasn't given enough time to "fall in love" with him. The only inkling that we got that she may also like him 10 years ago, was when they were stuck in the pit but then she was always about Bang Jun Ho.
Speaking of Bang Jun Ho, his character was giving me a total stalker vibes(?). I mean, he left her without a goodbye but yet, he expected her to always loved him because she had always loved him in the past. Like dude, you BROKE her heart, do you think she'll jump for joy when you return? Like Mr. Kim said to him, he should have told her his reason for leaving when he left, because now, it's only excuses. He hurt her and just waltz into her life like nothing happened. He was obsessed with her and I hated how her boss encouraged it too. Like lady, did you see how affected she was by him? Couldn't you just assign someone else to the project? I get that she was the one who wanted to project in the first place, but circumstances changed. She can be as professional as she wants, but if he's not being a professional towards her, what she can do? I am still shock that her own boss would throw her into the project when she clearly knew what happened to her. Smh.
Hye Ji and Teacher Son's relationship was also so sudden too. I mean, they could have explored that story line more with more episodes. I get that they "fell" for each other during the hiking trip, but it was just so sad how they wrote that love story. Hye Ji had confessed to him and he flat out shut her down. I get that he is awkward around women, but what the hell. He was such a gentleman, and then they made him someone who was so clueless. I would have love to see more of their relationship.
I do like how he confessed to her, but I didn't like how "short" it took her to accept him. Like what made her like him when she has always seen him as nothing more than a friend. Like I said, the only inkling we got that she might have liked him was during the night they got stuck, but then that was the only time. Nothing else. She had been helping her friend get him before he left. So for her to suddenly accept him didn't make sense to me. I wish she would have hesitated more and come the realization that yes, she was falling for him. I feel like it was too fast for them. He disappears for 10 years, and then return for a few days and he just throws everything away for her, that part never made sense to me too.
Now, let's talk about her past. I feel like they wanted us to know that she was abandoned so that's why she had issues with people leaving without saying goodbye, but then they never really explored it too. There was like a clip that was part of her nightmare and then Kwon Sang Pil telling Kang Hu Yeong about her drunken talk and that people have wounds. I wish they would have showed us what exactly happened to her because they never showed her parents or mentioned her parents.
And then the ending, I'm just confused about it. She made a whole scene about not leaving with him, but then she leaves with him? Like, what? All I am saying is that they needed a few more episodes. The story feels incomplete.
Overall, I took points off because I feel that it wasn't complete. To me, this is a 7/10. If they added more scenes to elaborate the story, I will rethink my ranking, but for now, as it is, it's a 7. I was disappointed towards the end of the drama. I feel like I wasted my time binge watching this show.
