I am good at waiting, even if it is a thousand times but the thing I am most worried about, is the fact that one day I may not have to wait for him. -Noh Eul

K-drama Feels:

• If you like usual melodrama you’ll like this.
• There are some nice, funny and romantic scenes.
• In terms of the story, I was fine with it. Nothing spectacular, but I liked the backstory and how the story progressed.
• Kim Woo Bin – His acting was very emotional and he was very pleasant to look at.
• Bae Suzy – I wasn’t impressed with her acting. She was the show killer for me, maybe because of her blank expression and shallow dialogue delivery.
• No kilig factor for the main leads.
• Soundtrack was great. (A Little Braver and Across The Ocean by New Empire)
• Heart-breaking Scene : When Joon Young looks up with tears in his eyes, and apologizes for not recognizing her mother. Tumulo luha ko dito.
• For those who love Kim Woo Bin, you can watch this drama. He shines like the brightest in this drama.

My Rating – 7.5/10 (A mix of tears and laughter.)
