I watched this because of Lee Sung Kyung. And she's the only reason I finished this series and giving it an 8. She's perfect for the role and he voice is amazing, she has so much talent.
The story has so much potential but unfortunately it drags. Too mang cliches. And kinda illogical.
And I personally don't feel much connection with the male lead. I think the age gap if quite noticeable. His expression is usually blank and too hard with his eyebrows. And there are scenes that I can feel him holding back or being too controlled - example during confrontations with LSK in front of her house where he learned why Mika broke up with him.. It was a big scene but he's too controlled that I didn't feel much of an impact on such a big scene. He's not that attractive for as well to have 2 beautiful ladies pine for him, especially Beth - she deserves so much more.
I love Mika's relationship with her best friend who can also act very well and cute. Also with that granny friend from her part time. Their relationship is wholesome, i love it.
Overall though, i have to say that while watching, it boils down to the director and the writers. The transition between scenes are not really good. The actors tried their best with what is given. But there are just too much cliche, repetitive scenes, like going back and forth with the investor or not, power control between the muscical director and male lead.. it was repetitive, and it's not even that interesting. The ending is also very convenient and the whole series about time simply conveniently disappeared without logic and sense after all the time of Doha transferred to Mika in snap - also illogical and does not make sense. Maybe Love really fixes everything. Lol.
At the end, I love LSK, and Mika... but I would rather have a sad but logical ending with her really dying when her time runs out while making peace with it.
