A Friendship that should never exist in real life
I just finished this drama, and while it truly was a beautiful story, I can’t help but see things differently from most people. Many are praising the friendship between Sang Yeon and Eun Jung, but to me… it felt toxic.
No matter how hard I try, I just can’t forgive Sang Yeon for everything Eun Jung had to go through because of her — from the breakup, to Sang Hak trying again, to even stealing her project. In this friendship, Eun Jung kept losing — whether it was people, work, or trust.
Meanwhile, Sang Yeon was always admired — in college, at work — everywhere. Yet, in the end, the only person truly looking down on her was herself.
And that’s where it hit me: yes, her illness made everything tragic and heartbreaking… but what if she hadn’t been ill? Would she still have looked for Eun Jung? Would she have ever asked for her forgiveness? Or would things have continued the same way?
