OCNs first romance-themed drama, and somehow when it’s OCN I always get a huge expectation. It was good, I’m not going to lie about it and be all biased because it’s OCN, but it didn’t have a wow-factor to it at all. It was like a typical drama. Yes, good acting, good directing, cinematography was fine, but somehow it missed something essential to differ it from the rest. I liked the fact that it was only 13 episodes (the amount of episodes stands out, since it's not typical to have only 13, standards would be 12 or 16). There is really not much to say about it. Good watch, but definitely not one I’ll remember. OCN, you guys should stick to mystery and thriller.

One of my first kdramas in 2008 was the classic hit drama 1% of Anything. Therefor I of course had to watch this 2016 remake. I don’t remember the first one exactly, but they didn’t change much about the story, and for that I’m not going to compare them. First time in a while I managed to watch this drama in less than 2 days, a classic drama-marathon, and for a good reason. I just couldn’t take my eyes off of it, it was so well-done, amazing cast, beautiful cinematography and a lovely lead couple. What I liked most about it, was how down to earth the drama felt, and how it appealed to the audiences’ emotions. I just loved it for the simplicity of the drama.
