To be honest, I was surprised by how much international fame this drama gained. Usually, this type of stuff is not very popular and poorly rated. I think the success of this drama came from ml who really cared about fl. It's interesting because I feel like you could feel the makjang vibe everywhere except the main couple (although at the beginning we also had Yi Joo as a damsel in distress).

Personally, with all the makjang cliché scenes, I really enjoyed this drama. The plot itself was interesting, although for me there were no plot twists. What was supposed to be a surprise was rather predictable.

The actors did quite well. They played their roles in the way expected. As for the OSTs, they were really good.
