Finally a love story that felt real
I am gonna be honest, I watch lots of k drama that are good for the environment, for the funny moments, for the sad and dramatic moments, but even if the love story is the center usually is the thing that feels less true, all the messages about life, works and many things are felt more then the love between 2 people that even if are beautiful and adult usually have (when you are lucky) 1 ex bf or gf.Instead here I need to say the love story has a sense and feels true from beginning to end, I love how it criticize the marriage culture in Korea and how it criticize the way woman are seen if they behave freely. Even if the FL is a bit over the top (she is so strong and she seems to be able to do every manly thing) I love that they made her that strong and that independent, and I love almost every other female character too, how her mother speaks against the patriarchal system, and how the character of the famous divorced actress is proud to be friend with her and how she get to the fact that what the other people thinks of you, whatever, let them think. The most i love about the series is that "sex" is not a forbidden word, and that the protagonist doesn't even have to say I love you before doing it, at the first offical date. This are elements that made the drama feel more true to me. I thought that in the finale there would've been the usual wedding scene anyway, because "loves changes you" and all this crap as it happens in many dramas, instead FL doesn't change, she stay herself, but this doesn't mean that she can't find love, and the ML loves her for this reason too, for how different she is from what you expect for a woman in Korea. I also loved the storyline of the ex of the ML, because her story is the one of someone who tried to be a strong woman from the inside of the society, at its rules, but inevitably this rules guides you to unhappiness, she lost love to this, I found it great the analogy between her and the FL. For an easy 10 episode k drama that I thought it was a relaxed EtL I think it was amazing.
Maybe the second couple could use a couple episodes more but I think for saying what needed to be said it's ok this way.
