Such a Good Love

Such a Gaslight love

What initially seemed like a beautiful love story between two young people who were still trying to find their place in the world, is becoming more and more a realistic demonstration of what a toxic relationship can do to the other. My God, what a bad person the female protagonist is.

Episode after episode, she sucks all and any vitality out of the male protagonist. From a dreamy and fun boy, all that's left is melancholy from such an uneven and selfish relationship.

Of course, he's not perfect, far from it. But many, if not all, of the problems stem from her need to control him and dictate what he should want, when he wants it and how he wants it. Hell, she even manages to find a way to blame him for the fact that her mother is horrible.
Here at home, the only thing we could hope for was that for the love of God, he wouldn't end up with her in the end.

But even though it's terrible to watch her destroy everything he wanted to be, the show is great, very well filmed (especially the first half), and demonstrates in a very raw way how the concrete jungle of the big city and the adult world can destroy dreams, relationships and, consequently, mold us into people very different from who we imagined we would be.

while realism is fine, we turn to dramas for catharsis — for a sense of emotional reward, justice, or even fantasy. Such a Good Love was too grounded, too heavy in its realism, and didn’t offer that payoff. It added weight when we were looking to feel lighter — or at least, hopeful.I feel like she gave up a lot for him, though older she was much more mature but at the same time innocent.. in the beginning her lack of social knowledge was a bit annoying but I guess thats where she grows... On the contrary he was also much mature at the beginning it almost felt like he never grew from it! That's what made me abandon the drama... It's realistic but isn't it the point of dramas to be more not realistic? I mean we watch it escape the maze not to add to it. That's just my perspective.
This drama felt more like a chore than just a drama( not in a good way!)

I can't get over of their chemistry, they're too good together

Drama yang bagus tapi gabisa bilang bagus banget gatau kenapa. Tapi jujur semuanya emang udah perfect, dari ceritanya yang realistis, aku merasa proporsinya udah oke karena ini cerita realistis bukan cerita drama dengan karakter sempurna dan unrealistic. Aktingnya udah pasti bagus banget, chemistry nya juara, bikin gamau pisah ama mereka. Cinematografi juga oke banget. Nonton drama ini roller coaster, karena di eps awal² pasti kita benci dengan kebodohan karakternya, tapi ternyata ada character development dan story development juga. Jujur cerita yang sadis, bikin kita sering tersayat sama beberapa plotnya:'(((
