OMG. I started this in the summer but abandoned it after halfway through almost? I found it average like you did and didn’t understand the wide appeal aside from the actors (I mean, Lee Min-Ho is GOOD). I think I gave up after episode 12? I’m not even sure anymore. I’m glad there’s not much that I’m missing from abandoning the show.
I agree with you about the rich families – it got exhausting really quickly. Boys Over Flowers is depicted as similar, but I LOVED that show. While there IS bullying from the rich kids (namely F4), there were a few charms as well and this one just missed it, I guess.
I LOVED their mothers – they had such a great relationship and stuck together, although it was more Eun-sang’s mother helping Kim Tan’s mother until I think later in the show maybe?

You didn’t miss much! I’m glad you stopped it.
I haven’t seen Boys Over Flowers and from what I heard, it’s not something I would like so I’m not planning on watching it.
It is like that between the mothers but in the end, Tan’s mother ends up leaning on Eun-sang’s mum and accepting her as a friend. Basically showing her vulnerabilities with trust and I liked that.

Thank you for this post!! So spot on. I literally was just watching episode 9 and stopped half way through to check if other people had the same reaction as me and you have empowered me to give up. It started strong but the lack of character depth and development is killling me. I agree that the one bright spot was Chan-young and Bo Na, the cutest ❤ On to try something new!

No problem! I was so annoyed that this drama is widely loved and over-hyped so I poured all of my frustration in this review 😂 I’m glad I convinced you to give up. Hope your next dramas are better! (P.S. If you’re looking for something similar i.e. high school, slice of life, romance, I’d suggest School 2015: Who Are You)

To be honest, i didn’t enjoy it much either but i have this habit of finishing a kdrama once I start it so I couldn’t dump it, would’ve done it if it was horrible from the start but it seemed quite interesting at first.
What really bugged me was the way kim tan and yeong do would treat eun sang, dragging her like an object.
I also found yeong do quite annoying as he was trying too hard with eun sang when she’s clearly told him multiple times that she likes Tan. I think his character developed well towards the end.
I totally agree with you on the relationship between eun sang’s mother and Tan’s biological mother’s relationship, it was so cute, probably the most interesting parts and also chan young and bona’s relationship. 😍
