They’re actually 20 and 18 years old at this point, which is a lot older than the typical backstory childhood romance, and makes it feel a little more meaningful. When they jump forward 12 years to the present in Episode 3, the leads will be played by Gu Hye-sun and Lee Sang-yoon, although it seems like a crime that their younger counterparts don’t get more screen time. Of course there’s more to the story than I’ve just described (various deaths, drama, and intrigue) but you’ll have to watch it if you want to know more!

In the first two episodes there is some pretty unrealistic character writing, not to mention plot contrivances, but I forgave all that since the overall vibe was so charming. This drama is filled with soft moments and soft colors, and generally just feels cozy, like it should be watched on a rainy day. I have no hopes that this drama is going to hold many surprises, or be particularly memorable, but so far it’s been pretty and sweet, and that works for me.
