I didn't understand the meaning of a "melo" drama until watching this story. I legit felt sad and depressed watching it despite the optimistic ending.
❤ Won Jin Ah was enchanting in the lead female role as she balanced between the reserved and emotional nature of Ha Moon Soo. Her story was by far the most interesting, particularly her relationship with her family and her grief over the death of her sister.
❤ What is it with the male leads pushing away the female leads when they need them the most? The one that comes immediately to mind is Oh My Venus, but this is a close second. It made it hard to root for the main lead couple when Lee Kang Doo continuously rebuffed Ha Moon Soo's compassion and support. I get to some degree part of his story is allowing others to witness his pain, but it quickly became aggravating watching the push/pull between them.
❤ Other than Moon Soo and Lee Kang Doo's family members, the rest of the side characters were uninteresting and one-note. I've seen these actors in other shows so I know they can perform, but they were given very little to do beyond pine for one another or move the plot forward for the main couple.
