    Beautiful scenery

    Just finished series. The scenes in Cuba were beautiful. Both lead actors are very talented just felt it was a mismatch. As a mom, it was a little cringy to see a 20 something year old with a 40 year old. I know I would be upset. And her hairstyle made her look even older. This was a series since I started it had to finish it.

    Subtle & Simple, Loved it.

    I am giving it 10 stars because this drama is different from other K Dramas. It is so simple and subtle that you fall in love with both characters.

    Park Bo Gum always do amazing work with his charm. Simplicity at its best.

    Also there are many negative reviews regarding this drama. But if you want to see something different then supernatural KDrama then this is it.

    Every episode is like a masterpiece

    This show is extremely well written and acted. When I watch the scenes between the 2 leads, it makes me smile ear to ear because it's so heartwarming. The way the 2 leads flirt and joke with each other is very cute and endearing. The supporting actors have their own interesting sub-plots and are great also. When I saw Park Bo Gum in "Itaewon Class", I thought he was just a pretty face but boy was I wrong, he is an excellent actor. He is very natural, and does a great job expressing the emotions of his character. I love all his facial expressions. It's just so fun to watch. I love his carefree character in the drama, so charming, witty, kind, sensitive and selfless. It's a kind of character that you don't see much in dramas.

    Upbeat Stress buster & mood booster

    Overall Rating deserves to be > 8.3.

    I was really hung up & stuck with sad ending from "the rise of Pheonixes" but then stumbled onto this show.

    Even though it had a rating of 7.2 boy I am glad took the chance and watched the show.

    It's a feel good show. This is added to the my list of shows that are worth rewatching.
