I've read some reviews that the story is boring. However, I didn't hesitate to watch it. I find it very interesting, the story is a reflection of what's happening in real life and many of us can relate to the story. Seo Kang-joon got my respect in his superb acting, I can see in his eyes the pain and his love towards Young jae. I laughed and cried throughout the series. And do agree that not all first love will end up a happy ending. In life there are many twists and challenges that will stop you from achieving what you want for. But this story tells us that no matter how many times we fall, what counts is that we know how to gather ourself again and stand stronger. This is highly recommended to those who are not fan of fairytale love story. This is my #1 kdrama and I will keep on watching this repeatedly.
