Maturity
The drama is a healing journey. First of all let me tell you that we are dealing with adults. Everyone behaves like an adult is supposed to, even the "villain" is using corporate means to frame the FL and not a white truck.
Now don't get worked up. The work plot frames the relationship between the leads, it doesn't dominate the story. It works as the background scenery where they grow and evolve as humans and as lovers. I especially loved how each headhunt addressed an important issue be it love or childhood trauma, that corresponded with the leads' lives.
Their lives on the other hand are not disseminated to every freaking detail, which was a first. Yes, both carry wounds and heavy ones that is. The FL lost her father in the fire that he rescued the ML from. It's the one trope that came perilously close to making the drama look like a joke. And yet,they dealt with it like the mature adults they are. He told her immediately when he found out and she took some time to digest but she weighed life and knew what was best for her and for them. No unnecessary, silly breakups and dramas. Are they ok with it? Of course not, and there will be times they'll talk about it, she'll wake up from nightmares, he may feel guilty but they are working it out together.
The ML is a divorcee and we never get to see the ex wife. Why should we? Some people divorce and never come back to haunt their exes. And maybe down the road she'll come back to see her daughter. I'm sure they'll deal with it appropriately like the adults they are.
Now, the second, third etc leads are all part of the plot showcasing different aspects of love and emotion and friendship that complements beautifully our leads' journey. Even the annoying chairman has reasons to be so hurt. Do we know what happened to his son? No. We presume he committed suicide. Is it necessary to know? No. Nothing has to be excruciatingly analysed. And that's the gist of this drama. Life is too short to overanalyse it. Shit happens, make the best of the rest.
Now, I didn't talk about the love btw the leads as I'm sure lots before me have already done that. I will talk about the ost though. It suits every scene so beautifully that you can't help but smile when you listen to it.
All in all, it's an amazingly cleverly told love story that uses all the know tropes out there just for the bliss of deconstructing each and every one before your eyes, making your delusions look like every day possibilities!
