To be honest, this was one of the first jdramas I watched, and it left me feeling like a lot happened without a lot of emotion behind it. The lead actress ended up being one of my favorites after watching other dramas she starred in and the ML is pretty popular, so I won't say anything to that. Here was my impression after watching it:

Pretty good, but similar to the other jdramas I've seen thus far, the pacing feels too fast. even tho the eps are ~1hr, it's too fast and not enough character moments. I don't feel as if the mains really do love each other, even with a few flashbacks and scenes of pining over each other. I did really enjoy the candy-making scenes, though!

Take this with a grain of salt, I don't tend to fall in love with melodramatic stories.
