Rating  ★★★★☆ (4.5) Describe the show with a hashtag : #MostUnnecessaryBreakupEver Reasons to watch Beautiful visuals Relatable family issues Couple Chemistry Reasons to skip Unnecessary Breakup Unnecessary love triangle Opinions SPOILER ALERT!!!! This drama started so well! I was pained by the last two episodes. This was a refreshing slice-of-life drama. With everyday characters you could actually imagine existing in real life. There's family drama but nothing over the top. The female lead is strong-willed but not at all annoying, and the male lead is not toxic or douchey. The friendships are portrayed realistically, as we know there can be jealousy among friends, but all issues were resolved very well. The ...

That said, I think many viewers would agree that her character in this drama was the worst part of the drama. I won't throw all the blame on her shoulders, though...

Is their romance destined or doomed, with a serial killer on the loose? Rating  ★★★ (3) Describe the show with a hashtag : #CGAyeyaiyai  Reasons to watch Good looking cast Well-written female lead...mostly Good "palette cleanser" drama (when you're in a K-drama slump) Reasons to skip Weird pacing Opinions SPOILER ALERT!!!! I picked this drama because I wanted an easy watch. Nothing too dramatic, but with a good plot and cute. It kinda checked all those boxes, but the weird pacing threw me off a bit. There weren't any major cliffhangers, and they started revealing things early in the drama, but somehow, although it felt like a lot was happening, the drama wasn't progressing at a steady pace.  My second issue with the drama was despite showing the female lead making smart choices, they though...
