Plot Summary:

2 high school students break up because of their parents. They meet 12 years later.

My Thoughts:

I really liked this drama. The guy that plays teenage version and adult version of Yu Junsu is so cute! I think I liked the high school scenes better than the adult scenes. It was unfortunate that their parents tried to separate them. When they meet as adults I kept wondering if they would find out that they knew each other in the past. I think its fascinating how you see all the characters from the past all intertwining in the future. 12 years pass and everyone is still talking about Jang Guk. All the guys liked her. A lot of things were left unanswered in the last episode. I don't want to say too much because I want you to be surprised like I was.

Will there ever be a season 2?

My rating: 5 stars
I really liked the drama and it kept me hanging on to see what would happen next. There are still a lot of loose ends though. Its a good love story even though there was also a lot of heartbreak.
