Finally, something different.
What I like most about this drama is that it's a realistic depiction of relationships in today's 21st century. Yes, people can, and will sleep with each other in the early stages of a relationship. I'm so sick of watching other k-dramas that treat 30yr old adults like they're 13yr old kids who have never been kissed before (or freezes during a kiss) let alone any other intimate activities. (In saying that, the last episode does ruin it by doing exactly that!) This drama is refreshing in the sense that it's not your typical love story romance and the filming is unique because it's done in an interview-style manner. I found this strange at first and it was hard to catch on but keep watching and you'll find it all comes together and the storyline becomes riveting. There were many scenes that truly captured the "moment" by use of sunlight and light rays to create the right mood and ambience, especially during the beach holiday or romantic scenes. Some scenes were like instagram shots with a perfect filter applied.
The lead actor is gorgeous. I thoroughly enjoyed his acting and looks. I will watch out for more work from Ji Chang Wook. All supporting actors and actresses were also very good and created a significant dynamic. I just found the cop and actress love story introduced in the last episode absolutely useless. They could do without those scenes.
Overall, I recommend this drama if you've watched a lot of k-dramas and looking for different. This is a new style, new age, and refreshing alternative to what you'd normally see.
