we all have a definition of toxic relationships whether may it be love or friendships and images of what a toxic relationship can be

for me I considered this as toxic

when I first saw the trailer I knew we were gonna be in for a toxic ride and I was right

in the beginning it was kinda hard to watch because it didn’t really interest me
the thing with melodramas is that it can be rather boring or super interesting for me

story wise it was decent, I did find it a shame that the guy was a pushing factor in the drama of the friendship and that once again its romance that is used as a plot tool to separate and cause drama among the two female leads
I rather wish we got more focus on the two women instead of a trio a good majority of the time

I know sang yeon was the antagonist this whole time leading to a lot of people hating on her
but I would say that the world isn’t always in black or white but maybe it’s gray
that can also apply to characters and stories

I’m not saying sangyeon deserves a redemption
she rightfully got what she deserved by the end of the series
I myself relate a lot to sangyeon cause I share that sentiment of loneliness all too well but also feeling inferior
we could see that she drove herself to the results of her life by the end of the series a.k.a that self sabotage
I felt a lot of pity for her because all she wanted was to be loved and accepted

I consider their friendship as rather mentally abusive
they both had their wrongs during their friendship and college years but ultimately it was sangyeon who choses to end it due to her jealous and envy
also if a ex friend like her reached out to me like that after what she did I would be mad

I myself went through a toxic friendship with someone I considered my best friend of 6 years
so the betrayals that hurt the most are always the people who are close to you

I think it portrayed it rather realistic on how ugly friendships between humans can be and how emotions like envy, jealousy, etc can be such a driving point to crumble that structure built

I noticed how when they met up for the third time of their lives (office) how sangyeon grew out her hair and became more social whilst eun jeong sported more a short hair and tomboyish clothes
as if sangyeon was trying to imitate her in a sense? idk if it is intentional or not but that wig was cheap as hell

I think 15 episodes were enough to tell and depicts the three stages in their lives and how their friendship impacted each others lives

to end this off it was interesting but I would not rewatch it, the acting was done really well and I saw comment about the two leading actress were not too convincing as young adults during those college years but I think otherwise cause Kim goeun looked so young

I would say to go in with an open mind if you plan to watch it cause sometimes we can have quite a lot of tunnel vision

I wish that no one like eun jeong or just people in general find themselves in these sorts of friendships that will hurt them deeply cause it is hell
I hope that people can be more kind and understanding towards one another because sometimes our worst enemies are ourselves and we fail to notice before it’s too late
