Love can be bought by Oranges
One of the most realistic portrayals of a relationship I have seen in a series. The later episodes totally crushed me about how we weigh love and career. Indeed, our high school life was one of the most memorable years we had; we were too carefree and had too much time on ouur hads, until we didn't.
The confrontation scene was so hard to watch. Both gave their points, and it's just so hard to watch knowing that you have felt the same dilemma both of the characters had. And both of them had their valid reasons. How do you expect the love of your life to adjust to you, just because you ARE the love of their life? You get to question how important you are to them. You get to see the reality about being practical. One of them even mentioned that they can't just stay rooted in their province.
It was a hard watch, honestly. I hated how realistic they depicted real life is because, indeed, that is how reality works. It is not a fairytale, where you get to wish upon a star. It is not some fictional story; you both get to live a happy ending. It's reality that you are facing.
With that, there were also 2 points raised between the 2 couples. The Ko Couple barely fought, but one of them was harboring feelings deep inside, but living together. While the A Couple was always fighting, but they were in an LDR relationship. I love how the show showed us how both couples addressed this. The Ko Couple was always reassuring and understanding, even to the point that it was "for the sake" of them not fighting. But it was indeed toxic, because if you keep bottling up all those feelings, there will surely be an outburst. On the other hand, the A Couple were always bickering, but they used that bickering as a way of showing communication, that both are always communicating. There was also a scene where Augar said that fighting made him realize how much he loved Achi, and that's when Ko opened his eyes.
It was such a feeling that even to the end, Ko said to Orange that it's okay to fight, to not hold on even if it means he "understands" his partner. It's just so realistic, because couples do indeed fall into this category, where many do fail at this level of relationship. Even I got something to learn from this series.
I also love and think that it's appropriate that this series didn't have any x scenes in it. It's a proof that intimacy, the person beside you, will always be enough and would be there for you.
