No Eul had a tough childhood; her father died in a hit-and-run prompting No Eul to quit school and make a living for her and her brother. Shin Joon-young, on the other hand, had his life planned out for him.

The two reunite when No Eul was tasked to film Shin Joon-young's documentary. Joon-young initially gave Eul a miserable time before finally agreeing to do the documentary and even plans to win her heart back.

My Thoughts:

I am wholeheartedly in love with this drama. Seriously, the story just easily captures my heart so much that I can't stop watching it. The feels this drama gives me is way too much. I just die! Haha...

The development of the character is just perfect as it unravels each character slowly. The two main leads stories are just well-played that I can't help myself striving to understand them even more. And even more so, sympathizing for them because their story is just too hard to endure by themselves and the great portrayal of the characters just adds the spice into the drama that makes it even more believable.

I came into this not expecting much. I thought from the trailers that it would be another cute lovey-dovey story but I got so much more that I am super satisfied with all of it. Goodness how I am falling in love with the characters. That I got a little bias with my introduction of casts upstairs, I actually placed a secondary character and removed a second lead. There was a reason as the second lead was not developed well enough for me to like her but the secondary character, oh yeah they did develop her. OMG, I really love her character as it definitely helped other characters grow.

Of course this story is full of the cute lovey-dovey that I just enjoyed as it balances itself with the emotional parts of the story. The anguish felt by the characters and then a few minutes of heartfelt moments......  I am just half-way through the story but there's already so much going on that you must not stop to take a look elsewhere. The balance this drama gives is just sufferable but satisfying. Btw, what qualifies for a melo-drama because I really felt this drama is a little melo-drama. There is some sadness felt by the characters and me!

Seriously, waste time no more and check out this awesome drama. It just hurts me that I can't give spoilers out else I have too much to say.... Have fun drama-watching!!!
