My Review….
I absolutely loved this drama in the beginning, especially impressed by the resilience of the leads and their profound understanding of each other. As the story progressed into the second half, however, the plot began to feel drawn out, leading me to fast-forward through several scenes. Despite this, the drama excelled in character development; the characters were so vividly portrayed that I found myself feeling intensely for them, both love and disdain, a testament to the writers' skill. Interestingly, the chemistry between the female lead and the secondary male lead outshone her connection with the main male lead, an unusual twist. In spite of its flaws, the drama remains a compelling watch, particularly for those who appreciate stories about unwavering pursuit of dreams against all odds. It's certainly worth a try for its portrayal of perseverance and determination.
