I just finished watching episode 16 and I have to say what an emotional ride it was. I was awaiting a drama which would focus on elements of loneliness and finding your place in this world. The main focus of this drama was the relationship between two individuals and the changing dynamics of this relationship through the years. Meeting again after five years, Ung and Yeon Su are hell bent on despising each other. It is through course of shooting a documentary, their suppressed feelings resurface, along with fears and some unanswered questions. The more mature and realistic turn which their relationship takes when they are full grown adults as compared to when they were in college is the main theme. It is the mutual realisation of need to communicate their innermost thoughts to each other, so as not to repeat the past mistakes. Obviously it takes courage and patience for them to open up and express themselves. I have watched shows where characters work on self development. But, here it has been dealt in way more relatable and honest way. The inner motivation driving us to become the best version of ourselves and coming out of the shells we create during childhood. Ung, Yeon Su and Ji Ung, all three of them trapped in their own small worlds as a consequence of childhood struggles, shut off friends, co workers and bosses from their lives. It is only gradually they realise their importance , in ensuring they were never alone, even if they felt lonely. This show deals with instances of loss and uncertainty and there are moments of solitude making it all the more unique, though not really a regular rom com. Nonetheless, it succeeds in leaving you with a warm fuzzy feeling. The OSTs, cinematography and the overall vibe of this drama are undoubtedly top notch. I think it would be really tough for me to find such an amazing drama again.

I'm absolutely in love with this drama, one of the best written dramas out there. Being a historical drama, it is a bit tough to understand but everything begins to make sense slowly as it progresses. All actors have done a fabulous job, especially the lead actor who plays Nokdu. The relationship of Nokdu and Dong Ju is beautifully portrayed. Both of them have untold stories, yet they are for eachother no matter what. It is really binge worthy drama, it is difficult to refrain yourself when last few episodes are left. I don't know why this isn't as popular as other historical dramas. This drama deserves much more recognition. Give it a try if you are looking for a historical drama with amazing storyline and solid characters.

This is such a refreshing and enjoyable k drama. The whole essence of the drama is novel, starting from the personalities of main characters to the plot. The acting of leads was just mind-blowing! The chemistry between both couples was just too good. Some scenes of Mi Joo and Seon-gyeom are just so beautifully shot that they make your heart fluttter. The scenes where Mi Joo and Dan Ah are constantly bickering are hilarious. These are two female leads which we rarely see in k dramas. You can literally feel the personality development especially of Seon-gyeom and how Mi Joo constantly acts as an anchor for him. I will definitely recommend this to people who want to watch a realistic k drama with strong acting and well written dialogues.

This was my first ever korean drama and I never expected it to be so beautiful and mind-blowing. The performance of the entire cast was just perfect. I have really become a big fan of the main leads. There are many other plotlines which are running along with the main one which actually makes it so entertaining to watch. Even the OST is soothing and refreshing. I have recommended this to so many people and I hope everybody loves it just the same.
