The movie is nice; it is worth watching for a first-timer. The story was inviting, and the acting was on point. The FL lead ate her role; she was brave, she stood up for herself, worked hard, made mistakes and through her mistakes, she learned gradually- typical life. Here come the spoilers: it was all about her, and every other character was relevant only because of her. I was invested in it at first; I was anticipating how the story would unfold. I wanted to know the root; I even recommended it to a friend before I finished it. I said, " Oh, it might give me the vibes of you and everything else, but it was overly dragged. I became exhausted with how the FL and ML were going back and forth. At some point, I spoke out loud, ' This is why they said you guys are not realistic," Korean dramas, I meant. I get they wanted to make the FL lead flawed like a human being, but it was overdone. The ML loving her completely, it is nice, but that only happens in drama; I cannot count how many times he had been pushed away. Every time he clung, he could not even move on for 12 years; he already decided I will reunite with my first love and no other. His only role in that drama is to reunite, nothing more. I love the FL tho, I can relate to her in many ways. Choosing her pride over money earned her a friend that changed her status; her sassy, strong character of not wanting to be wronged, she gave them back every time, but the forgiveness that happens in that ending, it is totally unrelatable. I was hoping there was a legit story her father is hiding for him to not be present when his family needed him, but there was none. Then the bullies asking for forgiveness, I want to believe they were children and did not know any better; that was why they bullied her. However, when they knew, they did not want to admit they were wrong, so they decided to continue being an ass. And when they saw her work, they decided to give in and apologise, cause, now they understood she is not the same girl as yesterday. And what about the villagers? Today they are nice; tomorrow, they are vixen. The dragging btw the ML and FL could have been minimised if some of the supporting characters were also developed a bit; it could have been compensated for. Today she suddenly wants him; tomorrow, she does not want to be with him. Why? Because of their past. The same past kept on keeping them apart till episode 9. Even after episode 9, she still asked for a break-up; guess why? It is still the past. And the ML mother, ohh, there can not be sb more annoying; it is amazing how she was angry till the very end and was receiving an apology when she was the one who was supposed to apologise. The ML was just being controlled in some way either by his mother or the FL, miscommunication and misunderstandings that could be solved easily, it was dragged unneccessarily, that is my point, And I am not talking about other characters cause they have little or no story line sef, Areum and the FL is claiming best friend, but they have not said hello in 12 years, what else if that was not forced, I will stop here, no need to go on and on.
