“14 FUCKING HOURS WASTED ON THIS ABSOLUTE PIECE OF SHIT!”
This is, without a fucking doubt, the worst drama I have ever watched in my entire life. I have watched over a thousand dramas, but I have never come across anything this frustrating, disappointing, and emotionally exhausting.
This drama genuinely broke my heart and completely shattered my trust in the idea of relationships. And what the actual fuck is this drama trying to normalize? Is this what relationships are supposed to look like nowadays?
Let me get something straight. If a ten-year relationship can fall apart simply because someone develops an attraction toward another person, then what happens to the next relationship? Will that last another five or ten years until someone new comes along? And then what? Another breakup? Another betrayal? Another person replacing the previous one?
Is this seriously the endless cycle that this drama is trying to present as love?
What the fuck does a relationship even mean anymore? People have twisted the meaning of love so badly that it almost feels like the word has lost its original meaning. A relationship should be built on respect, trust, loyalty, appreciation, and mutual responsibility. It's about having someone who values you, makes you feel important, doesn't constantly neglect you, and genuinely wants to see you happy. Both people should feel loved, respected, and secure in that relationship. Is that really such a fucking difficult concept to understand?
Now, let's talk about the biggest problem: CHEATING.
No matter what happened between the main characters, no matter how complicated their relationship became, when Mi-doo cheated on Nam-goong, SHE CHEATED. PERIOD. CHEATING IS CHEATING. There is no excuse, no justification, and absolutely no way to romanticize or normalize it.
If Mi-doo had broken up with Nam-goong first and THEN started a relationship with the second male lead, I would have understood. Feelings can change. People can fall out of love. People can develop feelings for someone else. That's life. It happens.
BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
What this drama does is practically glorify cheating and dress it up as some complicated, beautiful love story. What the actual fuck?
Do the writers even understand the difference between falling out of love and betraying someone? Because apparently, they don't.
And think about the message this sends to the audience. People might actually start questioning their own feelings, values, and judgment. They might become confused about what is right and wrong in a relationship. They might even become afraid of making decisions because this drama makes betrayal look like something that can eventually be justified through emotions.
And here's another thing that absolutely pisses me off: Mi-doo cheats on Nam-goong, leaves him for the second male lead, and then somehow ends up going back to Nam-goong—the very person she betrayed in the first place.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS STORY TRYING TO PORTRAY?
And there's something else I genuinely cannot wrap my head around. If Mi-doo's love for Nam-goong was truly over, if she had already moved on and chosen someone else, then why does the idea of never seeing Nam-goong again frustrate her so much? Why does she become so emotionally affected when Nam-goong tells her that they should never meet again?
WHAT IS THAT EMOTION SUPPOSED TO BE?
Isn't that attachment? Isn't that the emotional connection built over ten fucking years together? Isn't that the history they shared? They spent an entire decade together. Ten years of memories, experiences, affection, and emotional investment don't just become meaningless overnight.
If their love was completely over, why does the thought of losing that connection still affect her so deeply? Why does Mi-doo become so frustrated? Why does Nam-goong's decision to cut ties with her still matter so much to her?
And if those feelings are still there, then what exactly was the point of betraying him and choosing someone else in the first place?
You cannot spend ten years building a relationship with someone, betray that person, leave them for somebody else, and then expect the audience to accept this emotional back-and-forth as some beautiful representation of love.
MAKE IT FUCKING MAKE SENSE!
What exactly are you trying to tell us? That love can disappear when someone new comes along, but the emotional attachment to the previous partner somehow remains? That cheating is acceptable as long as you eventually realize how much the other person meant to you?
And then what? She feels guilty? She goes back? She gets emotionally frustrated again? WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS CYCLE?
I genuinely don't understand what kind of message the writers are trying to deliver here.
Honestly, I am fucking convinced that whoever wrote this story has some serious unresolved personal issues. Maybe someone cheated on them, maybe they experienced something similar, and now they have decided to dump their twisted perspective on relationships onto the audience through this garbage storyline.
WHAT A FUCKING BASTARD. WHAT A COMPLETE ASSHOLE.
And I'm not even going to pretend that I enjoyed a single part of this experience. FOURTEEN FUCKING HOURS. I wasted fourteen hours of my life watching this absolute piece of shit. If I could get those fourteen hours back, I'd shove every single one of them right up the director's and producer's fucking asses.
And seriously, what the hell is wrong with the people behind this production? If you're making a drama, at least make a coherent drama. You can take inspiration from reality, explore complicated relationships, and portray morally questionable characters. Nobody is asking you to create a perfect fantasy world.
But don't throw together reality, fiction, cheating, guilt, attraction, and betrayal without making any fucking sense, and then expect the audience to accept all of it as love.
I have watched more than a thousand dramas, and I genuinely cannot remember watching anything this fucking rotten in my entire life. The main female lead's actions are already frustrating enough, but the way the story handles those actions makes everything a thousand times worse.
And honestly, I don't think the director or the producers understand what love actually means. Maybe they have never witnessed a genuinely healthy relationship. Maybe they have never seen the kind of love, trust, respect, and responsibility that should exist between two people who genuinely care about each other.
Perhaps they grew up watching relationships fall apart, with one parent betraying the other. Perhaps they never witnessed the kind of mutual respect, trust, and responsibility that should exist between a father and a mother. Maybe they grew up seeing infidelity being treated as normal, and somehow decided that this is what love looks like.
I DON'T FUCKING KNOW, AND FRANKLY, I DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. BUT WHY THE HELL SHOULD THE AUDIENCE HAVE TO SIT THROUGH THIS MESS?
LOVE IS NOT JUST ATTRACTION. LOVE IS NOT CHEATING AND THEN FEELING GUILTY. LOVE IS NOT BETRAYING SOMEONE AND EXPECTING EVERYTHING TO BE OKAY JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE COMPLICATED FEELINGS.
If you no longer love someone, have the courage to end the relationship before getting involved with someone else. At least have enough respect for the person who spent ten fucking years of their life with you.
A relationship is not a fucking revolving door where people keep coming and going whenever they develop feelings for someone new.
FINAL VERDICT: A COMPLETE WASTE OF FOURTEEN FUCKING HOURS
I regret every fucking minute I spent watching this drama. One of the most frustrating, disappointing, and infuriating dramas I have ever experienced.
FOURTEEN FUCKING HOURS! If I could get those fourteen hours of my life back, I'd shove every single fucking minute right up the screenwriter's ass. And if the producer actually wrote this goddamn story, then I'd gladly shove those fourteen hours right up the producer's fucking ass instead.
WHOEVER THE FUCK WROTE THIS STORY, YOU OWE ME FOURTEEN HOURS OF MY LIFE BACK.
Absolutely NOT worth the time. Not even close.
