It has been sometimes since a 16 episode romantic comedy capture our critic views.
This drama begins in very romantic scene, an innocent 23-year old girl Woo In (played by Jo Yeo Jung) fulfilling her 10 year promise, appearing at the school field gathering hoping that everybody remembers the promise that they made with each other. Unfortunately in today’s world, no one appears except her childhood sweetheart Sung Soo (played by hallyu star Kim Jung Hoon).
As the drama goes, both of them going through practically everything, experiencing life and grows together.
Let’s fast forward to 10 years later. What will happen to a relationship after 10 years? Will it turns stale? With each other become bored with each other? Or has love slowly creeping into ones heart?
Nobody knows.

When Woo In finds out about this, she asks Sung Soo about his truthful opinion of the young lady. Though wanting to know the truth, Woo In still cannot overcome the actual truth that Sung Soo has started to feel for the young actress. She starts to check on Sung Soo and feel anxious, angry and jealous with slightest suspicion.
The drama takes a slight turn when Woo In’s subordinate Sung Hyun (play by Choi Jin Hyuk) express his love to Woo In. Slowly, Woo In feels that her heart starts to fill with love all over again but somehow this feeling is familiar to her? Isn’t this the same feeling she has gone through with Sung Soo 10 years ago, everything is romantic, exciting and alive again. But then she starts to reminisce those romantic and passionate moments she shared with Sung Soo.
With Woo In’s two female friends Seo Yeon (play by Choi Yeo Jin) and Hyun Joo (Choi Song Hyun) who carries extremely different characters, this story is reflecting today’s love life in the city pretty well. Relationship between people is getting more diverse for man and woman.
