The Missing Piece
I actually finished this first thing today. I really loved it. I know the ending left a few questions unanswered, but overall I thought the show was beautiful. I’m a sucker for rich, overprotective, and emotionally restrained, and I also love the “trauma-healing” trope, so this show was made for me. Add questions about the past and how things turned out the way they did, plus intense but unspoken love, and I was hooked. I saw a meme of the main characters saying “have you ever fallen in love with a couple?” I thought the meme was a bit silly at the time, since I fall in love with couples all the time, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this wasn’t referring just to loving the MLs/main characters, it was about how special they were as a couple and how much their journey together touched us. I know it didn’t hit this hard for everyone, but it definitely did for me. The love story was truly touching and the actors really expressed so much throughout. Also the theme song really added emotional depth. Despite some story flaws, I gave this show a 9.0. It probably deserved an 8.5, but I loved this couple and their journey enough to bump up the rating.
