I have now re-watched this show three times since it aired, so that gives you an idea of how much I enjoyed it. It's got a great balance of drama, mystery, peril and sweet moments with lovable, good-hearted characters.

I think one of the things I love best about this drama is how caring and supportive all the main characters are of each other. They have their flaws, they have their selfish moments and struggles, but in the end they all truly want to do right by one another in whatever ways they can. As a result, this show has the BEST handling of a love triangle that I have ever seen, allowing me to adore all three main leads and their relationships with one another without the usual frustration, sadness, or —more often than not— total disinterest I usually feel towards this over-used trope.

I am not a huge fan of romance in shows. It is usually so overdone and unrealistic, and sometimes even vaguely toxic, but all the relationships in this show felt believable, genuine, and healthy in a way that made me totally invested in both the friendships and the romance to a degree that most shows never achieve. It had a great knack of turning cliches on their heads and focusing on delivering an interesting, heart-warming story. People who like all those standard romantic kdrama tropes with hopeless star-crossed loves and bitter jealousy and fighting may not like the way it subverts expectations, but I loved it and wish there were more of its kind in the world. Give me a Jae-chan, Hong-joo, and Woo-tak over a Romeo and Juliet any day; I know who I'd rather spend my time with.

This show makes me feel happy, and leaves me with a smile every time I watch it, which I am sure I shall do many more times in the years to come.
