Not a light romcom!

I went into this expecting a light romcom about language, but it ended up being much more about emotional translation, how people avoid processing their feelings and instead keep adapting themselves for others.

It had cute moments, but emotionally it felt heavier and more introspective than expected. The mental health aspect and emotional misunderstandings carried more weight than the romance at times. Visually, the drama was beautiful and calm, which really fit the tone.

The plot and romcom writing were pretty generic and had noticeable holes, but the emotional moments helped balance that out. Some of the most meaningful scenes weren’t even romantic, especially the conversations where emotions were acknowledged rather than fixed.

I also really liked the second couple. even though their storyline needed better development. What started as something casual turned into a clear, intentional choice, and that certainty meant a lot to me.

Not perfect, and probably would’ve been stronger ending at episode 10, but still an unexpectedly thoughtful watch.
