A Rollercoaster of Emotions!
At first, I thought this kdrama was going to be a cute slice-of-life kind of story, but wow, did it amaze me. I felt like every episode had something new, something mind-boggling, and I experienced a range of emotions while watching this K-drama. It was so gut-wrenching and sad that I cried so much... But I loved every part of it!
Although I do not have Asperger's syndrome, I felt like I had a very good idea of what it looked like by the end of it. The actor playing Geu-ru hands down portrayed and did his role so well and phenomenally at that. The small details and micro expressions really allow you to understand how someone with this kind of disorder acts, and how he shows the little emotions he's feeling through his very, very small facial movements is impressive in itself.
Additionally, the relationships shown between father and son, alongside other familial (and maybe romantic ones) connections, had me bawling my eyes out. The way his father's death didn't hit me at first would soon haunt me. I felt like the build-up with their relationship was done so well, and it had me so devastated that someone so young lost both his parents at 20. The last episode was so well written, and I loved how it showed a message of someone still being there even if you couldn't see them. I also thought it was so sad how it had symbolized the many moments of Geu-ru hugging his 'dad' through his clothes, trees, and his ashes.
I wish there were a season two, but I haven't seen any news on it yet. It seemed like it left off on a cliffhanger, and the fact that the MC actually looked at someone in the eyes! That part kind of shocked me, and I'm wondering if the two of them would have some kind of relationship, but sadly, I guess we will never know...
This kdrama was truly so well directed and written, and if anybody would recommend me more like this one, I would sure like that! I am open to any suggestions :)
