**A beautiful setting, but a relationship that frustrating to watch**

I really wanted to love this drama. The atmosphere is lovely and the visuals are soft and warm, but the central romance left me frustrated.

The male lead is cold and often plain rude to the female lead, and the story keeps treating this as charming. It isn't. When someone is unkind to you again and again, staying kind isn't strength, it's self-neglect. Her obsession with him made her feel less like a person and more like a plot device.

she saw him kissing another girl or ( she thought he kissed another girl )
but after few days of not talking they are back to their previous dynamic just because that other girl had depression.

The breakup was the right call, and I was glad when it happened. But I wanted them to grow apart, become more mature and emotionally intelligent, and then find their way back when they were truly ready for a healthy relationship. That never happens.

Instead, after three years he comes back and pretends to have a girlfriend, only to make her jealous. It's a manipulative game. He even kisses her while keeping up the pretense.

His apology is no better. It's a plain "sorry" and nothing more. He mostly describes his own suffering and how sad he was, and she overhears it. That alone is enough for her to take him back.
Nothing changed, yet everything was forgiven.

At the end, even he admits she is either insane or only taking him back because she is a character written just for him. For me, that line says it all. She never feels like a real woman with her own mind, only someone who exists to love him.

Neither lead has real character development. The relationship stays one-sided and dysfunctional, and he seems to love her mainly because she loves him, not because he truly sees her.

**What worked:** the cinematography, the mood, and a few tender moments between the leads.

**What didn't:** the male lead's behavior, the female lead's lack of self-respect, no character growth for either lead, and a reconciliation that felt unearned.

**Final thoughts:** If you enjoy soft visuals and can overlook toxic dynamics, you may find something to like here. I wanted them to grow before reuniting, and neither of them did.
