Running out of words

Emotional art, it is.

It's so beautiful how everything is build in the drama, music, characters expressions, lights and shadows, words and silence and in the core of everything - emotions.

Even though there are parts that left more questions than answers, it goes well along the story. Not everything is so clear and simple in life either.

This is one of those rare dramas that leaves one without words. It hits hard, so much that one's feels empty, and not even a cry comes out.


(I think that everytime I repeat these episodes, I am noticing and discovering new insights...가슴에

Quiet, lingering, soul-crushing anguish

Everything about this series gives off a sense of overwhelming despair: the silence, moody lighting, tense music, and of course the brilliant performance from the two actors.

It's a tangible desperation that you feel immediately from the first episode. And while many viewers, like myself, hoped we'd get the trope-y miraculous happy ending, it's also completely understandable why we didn't. Instead, the ending is just as crushing as everything that came before it, and we're left to stew in it on our own long after the screen has gone black.

Whatever conclusion you come to as a viewer—whether you were rooting for their relationship or not—it's hard not to be affected by Hyeonjae's story, and I feel very sad that we leave him mired in the same misery we found him in.

So much deeper of a story than you think

This was so much different and so much darker than I thought it was going to be. I was shocked at how much depth all the characters had, especially the main two. I wish the show was longer to be honest so we could dive a bit deeper into a few things. I really enjoyed this overall.

I felt so bad for both Han Gi U and for Lee Hyeon Jae the entire time which was unexpected. I knew going in I'd feel bad for Hyeon Jae in the sense of what I thought would be your typical grooming from the teacher, but that's not what the show was at all. Obviously yes, they did have an inappropriate relationship with each other, but it turned out to be more complex than I thought it would be.

Gi U was going through a lot with his wife, his past, is self-worth, and with this new job. I believe that he was genuinely trying to just be a helpful teacher and good person towards Hyun Jae (at least in the beginning). He saw a student who clearly was troubled and needed help and was constantly being told to just pretend he doesn't exist and I think most caring people would try to reach out and help him out. Then when he brought him to his house for the first time, that was a huge no. I also found it interesting that they had the anonymous chat in the show, so we saw the two of them bonding and getting closer without Gi U knowing who he was talking to. I think the chat is really what made it tough for him internally on whether to go after Hyeon Jae or not. You could tell he knew it was wrong but between their chat, them getting closer in person, and him feeling guilty about how Hyeon Jae is treated, there was a lot of internal conflict about what he thought he should do. He did choose to not be with Hyeon Jae in the end, but he made quite a few bad choices before that regarding their relationship.

As for Hyeon Jae, someone should've gotten this boy some help and a real therapist. He so obviously was dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts on top of being constantly ignored and being abused by his father. It made so much sense why he got so quickly and deeply attached to Gi U because he was the only one to ever reach out and offer him help. Hyeon Jae saw their relationship very differently than Gi U did from the start which was not good at all. He couldn't tell the difference between what he was feeling for Gi U and vice versa and that really showed more and more as the series went on. I felt so bad for him the entire series because a lot of this could've been solved if he just had a proper adult in his life who cared for him, but he didn't until Gi U came along. I know the ending is an open ending, and I've seen people say different things on what they think happened. Personally, I think Hyeon Jae gave Gi U that one last chance for them to be together and when Gi U turned him down, I think Hyeon Jae then went and committed su*cide. I think he saw Gi U as his last hope at love and when Gi U said they couldn't be together that he gave up. That may be dark, but I think there were quite a few signs that pointed to this being the case.

As for Jeong Ha and Seong Won's storyline. I did like it, but they are another reason that I just wish the show was longer. I wish we got to dive deeper into them as individuals as well as them as a pair. They seem to have a history together, but we really didn't see any of it. I think if the show was longer their story would've been better but since they didn't get a lot of screentime, it was just okay more than anything.

I found this show so different and so much more interesting than I thought it was going to be when I first heard about it before it started airing. I really recommend this show to others, it's so much more than it seems at the surface.

Absolute Cinema, I Need to Sit With This One For A While

This is one of those series where, once the final episode ends, you sit there with the credits playing, staring at the screen and thinking about how meaningful the story was. I felt so much throughout this series that I'm genuinely struggling to put everything I saw, felt, and experienced into words.

If I could insert that "Absolute Cinema" meme here, I absolutely would. If MDL allowed GIFs or stickers in reviews, I'd have used it without hesitation. Honestly, if I didn't feel the need to write a long-ass review this drama deserves, I would've just left that sticker and called it a day. LOL.

I've been waiting for this series to finish airing because the teacher-student premise immediately caught my attention. Now, I KNOW how that sounds, but finding a controversial premise interesting doesn't mean I condone it in real life. I wanted to see how the story would handle such a complicated dynamic.

Most of my 9–10-rated BLs lean towards the darker, more depressing, and often doomed side of storytelling. I don't know why I'm so drawn to these stories when I don't even like sad endings. I think it's because I appreciate when a story acknowledges the consequences of its characters' actions instead of conveniently giving everyone a happy ending. Sometimes, a bittersweet conclusion feels more appropriate than one that exists solely to satisfy the audience.

I wanted Han Gi U and Lee Hyeon Jae to be happy, especially after everything they endured, but I understood why the ending unfolded the way it did. As painful as it was, it felt logical and realistic. Of course, I like to imagine they eventually met again years later, when their circumstances had changed, and perhaps found their way back to each other. I WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY. But sometimes, all we're left with are the possibilities we create ourselves.

{Acting, Story, Cinematography, and Music}

The acting was one of the biggest reasons I became so emotionally invested. Every episode flew by, and I eventually dreaded the end because I wasn't ready to leave these characters behind. The desperation, anxiety, hopelessness, and emotional exhaustion were conveyed so convincingly that I felt immersed in their world.

The entire cast did a wonderful job, from the leads to the supporting characters. Their performances helped me understand why these characters were hurting, what they were trying to escape, and why they sometimes made decisions that only worsened their situations.

I especially appreciated the darkness woven throughout the story. Almost every student was struggling with something serious, whether it was substance abuse, family dysfunction, or physical and emotional abuse. Obviously, not every high school student experiences these things, but I appreciated how the series acknowledged that young people can suffer in ways the adults around them fail to notice.

These characters are still growing up, learning to understand themselves, manage their emotions, and navigate relationships while dealing with problems even adults would struggle with. They're bound to make mistakes, act impulsively, and misinterpret others' intentions. That doesn't excuse their decisions, but it helps explain them. They weren't simply good or bad people; they were flawed individuals reacting to difficult circumstances.

The cinematography and music complemented everything beautifully, reinforcing the loneliness and melancholy throughout the series. The darker moments felt haunting, and the music heightened their emotional impact without making anything feel forced.

Cinematography and music? 10/10. Absolutely beautiful.

{Han Gi U}

Han Gi U is repeatedly described as a dull person, and I think that says something about how he moves through life. He seems emotionally restrained, as though he's learned to suppress his feelings and endure things rather than confront what he truly wants.

Beneath that seemingly emotionless exterior, however, I think he's deeply caring. The way he involves himself in his students' lives suggests that he genuinely wants to help others, perhaps because he recognizes parts of himself in them, or perhaps simply because he's kind.

His relationship with his alcoholic mother adds another layer to his character. He also married young, and by the time we see his marriage, both he and his wife seem emotionally disconnected. They appear to maintain the relationship partly to reassure his mother that he's living the life she's always expected him to live.

To her, a stable job, a respectable position, a wife, and eventually children seem to represent success. Anything outside those expectations risks being interpreted as failure.

I wonder how much of Gi U's life has been shaped by that pressure. Has he spent so much time fulfilling other people's expectations that he's lost sight of his own desires? Perhaps his mother also uses alcohol to escape a reality that doesn't match what she imagined, just as Gi U seems to avoid confronting what he truly wants.

What makes him compelling is that he can recognize other people's suffering while struggling to understand his own emotional needs. He's capable of showing kindness, but that doesn't necessarily mean he understands what that kindness means or what it might eventually become.

{Lee Hyeon Jae}

Hyeon Jae seems to have grown up without the emotional security a child should receive from their parents. His father, a powerful chairman, appears to have subjected him to years of physical and psychological abuse. Money and privilege can't protect him from the person who should protect him most.

We also know very little about his mother. She's in the hospital, but we don't know exactly what happened to her. I wish the series had explored her circumstances further.

Before meeting Gi U, Hyeon Jae seems to engage in destructive behavior to cope with his circumstances, escape reality, or regain some control over a life in which he feels powerless. But after meeting Gi U, his behavior takes on another dimension. Suddenly, there's someone whose attention matters to him, someone who notices him instead of simply dismissing him.

For someone deprived of affection, even a small act of kindness can mean everything. When you're not accustomed to being cared for, it can become difficult to distinguish between compassion and the kind of love you've always wanted.

I think Hyeon Jae desperately wants to feel loved, and Gi U becomes the person through whom he begins to experience that possibility. That doesn't make his feelings any less real, but it makes them complicated. There's a difference between loving someone for who they are and becoming attached to what they represent in a life where you've rarely experienced genuine care.

He's not simply a student developing feelings for his teacher. He's a young person trying to understand affection and love while carrying emotional wounds that have never properly healed.

{Kim Jeong Ha and Park Seong Won}

I would've loved to see more of these two. Jeong Ha wants to become an athlete, but his arm injury threatens that future. On top of that, he's struggling to pay his grandmother's hospital bills.

I understand why he becomes desperate to make money quickly. When you feel like you have no other options, it's easy to convince yourself that questionable decisions are justified if they mean protecting someone you love. Unfortunately, his so-called part-time jobs involve dangerous activities like beating people up, dealing drugs, and stealing. His circumstances explain his desperation, but they don't erase the consequences.

Seong Won knows what Jeong Ha is doing and tries to stop him, even if he can't prevent him from continuing. There's something heartbreaking about watching someone recognize that a person they care about is making destructive decisions and still being unable to reach them.

Jeong Ha's relationship with his grandmother seems to drive many of his choices. Perhaps she's one of the only family members he has left, and the thought of losing her pushes him further into desperation.

Their storyline reinforces the series' exploration of young people carrying burdens they're not equipped to handle. Sometimes, the people making the worst decisions aren't the ones who care the least; they're the ones who feel they have the fewest options.

So, did Lee Hyeon Jae read too much into Han Gi U's kindness, or did Han Gi U underestimate what his kindness meant to Lee Hyeon Jae?

THIS is one of the questions I kept coming back to, and I don't think there's a simple answer.

Initially, I believe Gi U genuinely wanted to help Hyeon Jae as he did his other students. His concern didn't necessarily begin with romantic intentions. He saw a struggling student and wanted to help him.

But as their relationship developed, things became increasingly complicated. Hyeon Jae began attaching a deeper meaning to Gi U's kindness, perhaps because he was experiencing a kind of care that had been missing from his life. Meanwhile, I think Gi U gradually became more emotionally involved himself, even if he struggled to recognize or accept those feelings.

Perhaps Hyeon Jae interpreted certain gestures as something more because he desperately wanted them to mean something more. Or perhaps Gi U underestimated how intimate his kindness could feel to someone who had rarely experienced it. Maybe, eventually, even Gi U struggled to distinguish between the two.

For Hyeon Jae, Gi U's attention represented affection, safety, and the possibility of finally being loved. For Gi U, it might have begun as a genuine desire to help a vulnerable student before developing into feelings he hadn't anticipated.

And this is where the teacher-student dynamic matters most.

I can understand how these feelings developed without believing that acting on them was appropriate. Gi U was the adult, the teacher, and the person with greater responsibility. Hyeon Jae was a vulnerable high school student already struggling with abuse and neglect. Their feelings couldn't erase that power imbalance.

I think Gi U understood, at least to some extent, that their relationship was entering dangerous territory. He sometimes seemed to hesitate or suppress his feelings, as though he knew there was a line he shouldn't cross. But recognizing a boundary and consistently respecting it are two different things.

His internal conflict makes him a more complex character, but it doesn't erase his responsibility. He can be caring and genuinely concerned about Hyeon Jae while still crossing boundaries that should have remained in place.

That's what makes their relationship so difficult to process. I wasn't simply watching two people develop feelings for each other. I was watching two people with very different emotional needs become entangled in a relationship neither seemed fully equipped to navigate, while one had a responsibility to recognize the danger of that dynamic.

I don't think their connection was meaningless, nor should Hyeon Jae's feelings be dismissed as a misunderstanding. But genuine feelings don't automatically make a relationship healthy or appropriate. Sometimes, the problem isn't simply what people feel, but what they choose to do with those feelings and the consequences of their actions.

The series left me thinking about the difference between being someone's source of comfort and being capable of loving them in a healthy way. Did Gi U understand the role he occupied in Hyeon Jae's life? Could Hyeon Jae separate his feelings for Gi U from his desperate need to be loved by someone who finally seemed to care?

I appreciate that the series leaves room for interpretation. Their relationship was complicated and emotionally charged, far too nuanced to be reduced to whether one person simply misunderstood the other.

{Final Thoughts}

Even after writing all this, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface. I loved the atmosphere, emotional depth, performances, and the way everything came together. The supporting characters also contributed to the larger themes of the story.

I wish we'd gotten more time with the side couple and more answers about Hyeon Jae's mother and Jeong Ha's parents. These details could've added even more depth to their circumstances.

And, of course, I still want a second season or some kind of continuation. Not necessarily because the original ending needed to change, but because I'm not ready to let these characters go. I want to see what their lives look like beyond the story we were given, even if things don't unfold the way I hope.

Ultimately, this drama reminded me why I love stories that make me FEEL something. Not everything has to be comfortable, not every character has to be likable, and not every ending has to leave me happy. Sometimes, I just want a story that gives me something to think about long after the screen goes dark.

I'm so glad I waited for the full release. I went in intrigued by the premise and came out emotionally attached to the characters, questioning their choices, and desperately wishing there were more episodes waiting for me.

I NEED MORE. PLEASE.

Overall: 9.5/10

10000000% recommend if you're interested in darker, emotionally heavy stories that leave you with a lot to unpack. Just be aware of the controversial teacher-student dynamic going in, because this is definitely not a lighthearted, fluffy BL. We need more dramas willing to tell complicated stories and trust their audience to sit with the discomfort rather than hand them all the answers.

definition of yearning

Firstly, the story of this drama is sort of different from the usual bl dramas. It is a drama that most people won't like in an instance. For me tho, I enjoyed this drama but the last two episodes were half and half expected and unexpected. The genre of this drama was something I like; younger top x older bottom, angst and psychological. The thing about most korean dramas are that they focus on angst like this drama. Both the characters yearned for their own wants was a really good addition to the story. Their yearning made it so much more pulling to watch the drama, especially the top's yearning. But this drama was different because there are not a lot of bl dramas with teacher x student trope. Really enjoyed this drama that was out of the ordinary plus focuses on psychological state of the characters, making it a cherry on top.

The actors did a really good job in their acting. Their acting added more realism to this drama. They could really blend themselves very well in the theme of this drama. Their chemistry also needs appreciation. They acted really well with their eyes and also quite literally seemed devoted to their respective characters. Not only the main leads but every side character seemed to have delivered their roles well.The ost was very relaxing. A typical korean bl having that relaxed homely feeling with very less vibrant colors. The intro itself really pulled me in along with the ost. The sketches in the intro seemed very cute and it added a really good feel into the drama ngl. The intro really matched the vibes and theme of this drama.

A solid drama that I probably won't be able to rewatch much because of the tension. The ending did make it feel like it will have a second season. I really hope a second season happens.

Lastly, felt very good to watch a drama like this that has different contents than other dramas but also greatly sad for both the teacher and the student, sometimes a man that yearns isn't a man that earns.

“Turning a blind eye, playing dumb and pretending like everything is fine is just to cruel”

Right from the first minute, I knew this show was going to be a hard watch. The story is so intense, filled with heavy scenes and bleak, apathetic characters who seem like they’re just surviving day by day rather than actually living, just trying to bear their own pain, conflicts, and the circumstances they’re trapped in.

Ki-woo and Hyun-jae are two lonely, wounded souls who, in different ways, have become prisoners of their own circumstances and the emotional walls they built to survive them. Ki-woo is trapped by the fear of being judged, which is why he puts up this front of having it all together as a flawless adult. Meanwhile, Hyun-jae is trapped by rejection and a deep sense of unfulfillment and emotional hunger. Both of them just want to be seen for who they really are, not who everyone else expects them to be. And their worlds get completely shaken up when Ki-woo gets hired as a temporary teacher at Hyun-jae’s school.

Hyun-jae is the character who impacted me the most because he’s someone who’s already been written off by others as “problematic.” When people keep treating you like you’re unwanted, you start second-guessing genuine affection or testing the limits of anyone who tries to get close. He craves intimacy, but he doesn’t entirely believe it’s possible to be loved without having to earn it.

Characters I hated the most: Hyun-jae’s dad and his goon, plus the whole school faculty.

Cutest moment: When Seong Won asks Jeong Ha to give him time to fall in love with him, promising he won’t run away anymore.

Scenes that moved me the most: Hyun-jae’s hugs with Ki-woo.

Out of all the themes the series tackles, the strongest criticisms for me were how people treat rumors like proven facts, how judgment always comes before understanding, and how people care way more about saving face and maintaining a good reputation than actually finding out the truth of what happened.

The entire cast delivered such a raw, visceral performance, especially the four main leads. They let all their inner conflict and emotional weight bleed through, making it feel deeply human, physical, and impossible to ignore. Honestly, it had me crying multiple times.

As for the ending: Do they end up together? In my opinion, yes. After both of them finally take control of their lives, they cross paths again at the bus stop where Hyun-jae used to wait for Ki-woo, but this time, it’s Ki-woo waiting for Hyun-jae.

Iloved Boy, With Caution, but that ending left me heartbroken

Title: Boy, With Caution broke my heart, and I don't know how to feel about that ending

Spoilers for the entire series, including the finale!

I honestly don't even know where to begin with this drama. I finished Boy, With Caution with so many emotions that I don't think I've fully processed everything yet. I loved watching it, I was completely drawn into the story, and the acting was incredible from beginning to end. But that ending? I'm sorry, but I NEED to talk about it because I feel like there was still so much left to explore.

What really got me about this series is that it never felt like it was just about two people falling in love. There are so many layers to the story, and I think the characters' individual struggles are just as important as their relationship.

Ki-woo is someone who has spent years trying to become a person nobody can criticize. He is constantly worried about how others perceive him, and the rumors from his past have clearly affected the way he lives his life. He tries to maintain an image of someone responsible, respectable, and in control, even when his personal life is far from happy. His marriage is falling apart, his career hasn't gone the way he hoped, and he seems to have lost touch with what he actually wants for himself.

What makes his character so interesting to me is how much of his life seems to be built around avoiding judgment. He doesn't necessarily make decisions because they will make him happy, but because they will prevent other people from finding fault with him. He has become so focused on being the person everyone expects him to be that he barely seems to have room to be himself.

And then there's Hyun-jae.

Hyun-jae is such a complicated character, and I think there's a lot more to him than what people initially see. He's treated as a problem before anyone even tries to understand him. People make assumptions about him, dismiss him, and seem perfectly comfortable believing the worst about him. He's surrounded by people who either don't care enough to look closer or have already decided who he is.

I think this is one of the saddest aspects of the entire drama: both characters know what it feels like to be judged, but they deal with that pain in completely different ways. Ki-woo tries to avoid giving people anything to criticize, while Hyun-jae seems to have reached a point where being misunderstood is something he almost expects.

And when someone finally looks at Hyun-jae differently, it means more to him than it probably should. Ki-woo is one of the few people who actually asks questions instead of immediately accepting what everyone else says about him. For someone who is used to being dismissed, that kind of attention can feel incredibly meaningful.

This is also why their connection feels so complicated to me. The anonymous conversations allow them to be more honest with each other than they can be in their actual lives. They find comfort in someone they believe they can talk to without all the expectations and judgments that usually surround them.

But there's a painful contradiction here. They can understand each other emotionally, yet the circumstances of their real-life relationship make everything so much more difficult. Ki-woo is still Hyun-jae's teacher, and the power imbalance between them cannot simply disappear because their feelings are genuine. I think this tension is an important part of the story, and I wish the series had given itself more time to explore its consequences and what moving forward would actually mean for both of them.

Something else I appreciated was that the drama didn't limit its emotional weight to the main couple. The other characters have their own struggles, motivations, and complicated circumstances. Jungha's situation, for example, shows how desperation can push someone into making decisions that hurt other people, while Sungwon's concern for his friend adds another dimension to the story.

Youngmoon, the school environment, the rumors, and the way people use their positions or influence to control others all contribute to the atmosphere of the drama. There are so many different kinds of pain happening at once, and not every character knows how to deal with what they're going through.

That's why I think the story needed more time.

By the time we reached the final episode, I felt like the drama had opened so many doors that it couldn't possibly close all of them in the time it had left. There were character developments I wanted to see explored further, conflicts that needed more resolution, and relationships that deserved more attention.

And then we reached the ending.

I understand that the writers might have wanted to leave things open-ended. I understand that not every story needs a perfectly happy conclusion, and I don't think every character needs to have their entire future explained to the audience. Sometimes uncertainty is part of the point.

But there's a difference between an ending that leaves you thinking and an ending that leaves you feeling like you're missing an entire chapter.

Ki-woo finally begins making changes in his life. He leaves the school, confronts the reality of his marriage, and starts moving toward a future that isn't entirely defined by his fear of other people's opinions. Hyun-jae's situation also changes, and the series gives us reasons to believe that things might eventually be different for him.

Their feelings are no longer just something the audience has to interpret from a distance. There is a real acknowledgment of what exists between them.

And yet, after everything we've watched them go through, we still don't get a clear answer about what happens next.

Do they meet again? Do they get the chance to build something healthier when the circumstances that kept them apart have changed? Does Hyun-jae get to move forward with his life without being defined by the people who hurt him? What happens to the other characters and the conflicts that were still unfolding?

I know the absence of answers may be intentional, but I personally didn't find it satisfying. I didn't need the writers to give us a perfect fairytale ending. I just wanted more time with these characters, more development, and a conclusion that allowed the emotional journey to feel complete.

Honestly, I would have preferred a few more episodes showing the aftermath of everything that happened. Let us see Ki-woo figuring out who he wants to be when he's no longer living entirely for other people's approval. Let us see Hyun-jae having the opportunity to grow beyond his attachment to the one person who finally made him feel seen. Let us see what their relationship could look like when they're no longer in that teacher-student situation.

And please, give the other characters some resolution, too!

I don't want to dismiss everything the drama accomplished just because I'm disappointed with the finale. Quite the opposite, actually. I think I feel this strongly because I cared so much about the story and the people in it.

The acting deserves so much appreciation. The performances made the characters' emotions feel real to me, especially in the quieter moments when a look, a pause, or a change in expression could communicate more than a long conversation. I was genuinely impressed by how much emotion the actors brought to their characters. There were moments when I felt like I could understand what a character was feeling even when they couldn't find the words to explain it themselves.

I was completely invested, and I found myself thinking about the characters even after the episodes ended. That's what makes the unresolved parts so frustrating. I don't feel like I've run out of things to say about this story. I feel like the story itself still had things left to say.

And that's probably why my feelings about this drama are so contradictory.

I loved watching it, but I don't think I could bring myself to rewatch it anytime soon. I cried so much, and the ending left me with a kind of sadness that is difficult to explain. At the same time, I'm glad I watched it. It made me feel things, made me think about its characters, and gave me a story that I know I'll remember for a while.

I don't regret watching it. I just wish I could have stayed with these characters a little longer and seen where their stories went.

I don't need every story to end happily, but I do need to feel that the story has reached a meaningful stopping point. And with Boy, With Caution, I just don't feel that way.

Maybe that's why I'm still so emotional about it. I'm not only sad about what happened. I'm sad about everything that could have happened afterward, everything we didn't get to see, and all the possibilities that were left hanging.

I want to know what happens to them. I want to know whether they find their way back to each other. I want to see them grow, heal, and make choices that aren't dictated by their past or by what other people expect from them.

Most of all, I want to know that they get a chance to move forward.

I finished this drama loving the story, appreciating the incredible performances, and wishing the writers had given these characters more time. I know some people might appreciate the ambiguity of the ending, and I can understand that perspective, but for me, it wasn't enough.

I loved this drama. I just wish its ending had loved its characters a little longer. 💔

The Actors were PHENOMENAL!!

The story might be the forbidden romance between a teacher and student that has already been portrayed in so many ways and is nothing new, what makes this so different is the actors.
The actors were just absolutely amazing, I was glued to the screen and couldn't look awake. The teacher's feeling of helplessness, guilt, and so much more were undeniable to see in the way the actor portrayed it. Bravo to the cast manager, he picked perfectly and no actor fell behind even the support roles.
The story without giving out much was just to raw and dark, we already know it's not gonna end in sunshine and roses but I still enjoyed the emotional ride.
A most watch, my only wish is a season 2 if possible. That would be so perfect with the same cast especially the second couple.
