Thoughts

I don't remember a lot of this drama since it was one of the first I saw, but I did enjoy it. It was different from the typical dramas and the two main characters were perfect and I enjoyed having two couples being the main focus of the drama. It did make me cry though, no drama fails. 

My Rating: 9/10

Ending: 9/10
