Seeing this as a chance from the heavens, Sol vows to change the course of destiny for both of them. (Synopsis: Wikipedia)

I just started this ongoing series (because it's well-received and has good ratings) and really like it. It's sweet and heartwarming and has strong Twinkling Watermelon vibes, a series I truly love. The leads Byeon Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon (I've never seen either of them before) are appealing and have good chemistry. I love the scenes with the rain and umbrellas! Also love the OST! Can't wait to see more of this show and hope for more endearing moments.
