A drama that makes my heart warm
Where do I begin. GOSH! Just came out of a rewatch and had to come here to praise this show. First off, I remember thinking this was a GL drama cuz kim min jae looked like a girl in the poster and only watched this cuz my girl park eun bin was in it just to find out this unfortunately was not a fruity drama😞
On a more serious note though, this drama stole my heart on my first watch because it was so heartwarming and tender. The characters were so thoroughly fleshed out and the story, though simple in nature, had depth that a lot of dramas like it lack. You see a love triangle between friends in both the ml and fl's lives, and you get to see how they both deal with silently loving someone their friend is openly in love with. I loved watching them awkwardly get closer to each other, comfort and understand each other, and being the one to make the other smile during a hard time. This drama had me grinning at my screen in the middle of the night cuz of these two.
Warning! Jung kyung is annoying for a majority of the show, even more so during my second watch. Like she kept on hurting the dude who was so unconditionally in love with her just to cling to a guy who was never able to express his feelings for her because of how much baggage they got between them. It really felt like she was just destroying her relationship and friendship for no reason. However, I love how they didn't just make her character an evil jealous second fl, cuz the added depth to her character made me value her role in the show even more.
This show wasn't typical and it didn't take the easy route by following popular tropes. It made characters that felt real and stayed true to them. It isn't flashy, they are no plot twists, and if your impatient, it could even be boring, however, if your willing to sit and watch something heartwarming then you might be as moved as I was.
