The story goes so fast then slows down, but it is the best slow-down I have ever seen.

It is like stealing your heart quickly and then torturing it after gaining control of it. It is packed with emotions, it made me feel connected, got me butterflies, and made me cry.

I fell for it, I cried a lot, and I smiled along. It is something that you should enjoy and appreciate no matter how slow it goes. It is so full of charm that I managed to watch it so quickly, in a very short time, like it was a 16-episode drama without skipping anything, while appreciating every second. That’s how good it is.. Every episode gets you more emotionally invested than the one before.

I came to appreciate everyone like I have never done before and I felt sorry and sad for everyone in the drama. As frustrating as the actions of some people in the drama may seem, they are actually very understandable if you look at things from their perspectives. Mothers acted like emotional mothers, fathers acted like caring fathers and everyone played their role very well. I was able to sympathize with them.

The music and the directing is amazing. The instrumental soundtracks are beautiful, emotional and sad, and so are the songs, making all the feelings heightened.
This ost is the drama, and this drama is its ost. It’s one and the same. Harmonious. How beautiful.

The romance... their warmth was enough to melt all that snow. The feeling was so beautiful and warm. Slow and soft. Loving deeply and sincerely. I want to smile so wide while I cry for them at the same time. And they are the #1 HUGE reason I love this drama.

Nothing is wrong about the whole drama. The quality is amazing. Directing is really really really great, but the acting is from a different world; Shin Hye Sun is something and I don’t think I can praise her acting enough.

Much later, my appreciation for how that drama made me feel like is still there. I also discovered that it's very re-watchable. It is definitely underrated.

About the the slow pace of the drama, I think it was very important for the build-up of everything.
Therefore it was WELL-paced.
