A very interesting and truly special drama. This is not the typical light or silly K-drama at all. it’s deep, philosophical, and at times quite gloomy. Yet, this never takes away from its ability to draw you in. All the characters are compelling, but to be honest, I mainly watched it for Kim Ji-won and Son Suk-ku. After the halfway point, I found myself skipping scenes that didn’t involve them.
It’s strange because I never thought I would enjoy this kind of drama, being such a big rom-com lover. However, its portrayal of human fragility and imperfection makes it incredibly realistic. Nothing feels fake or overly romanticized. There is very little physical contact, only one kiss that isn’t even clearly shown, yet the leads feel like two magnets constantly pulling toward and away from each other.
It’s important to say that this is not a “satisfying” drama in the traditional sense. if that’s what you’re looking for, this might not be for you. The ending isn’t really an ending at all: nothing sad, nothing happy, just life going on. And somehow, someone like me who usually looks for happy endings, ended up watching this, crying, smiling, doubting, and appreciating it.
A drama about real life, with all its growth and struggles. I was genuinely confused and bored during the first episodes, but I’m glad I kept going, because I eventually understood the depth of the story and every character. I’m sure this drama didn’t work for everyone, if you watch it superficially, it’s impossible to truly understand it.
