WITH THE RIGHT MINDSET U MAY LOVE IT

First off I will be praising the show as well. This is not a hate review even with the low rating. If your looking for a heartwarming rom com then this is not for you. if you go with this expectation you will absolutely hate this drama.

This should be your expectation: This drama has only one mc and it’s the M. It’s a story about his guilt and how he lives his life with this guilt, burden, and self loathing. It discuses what is love and the differences between romantic and non-romantic love. The story show every character has guilt for something. This journey is about how the ML deals with his guilt and fights hard to remove his guilt and gain self love. His stubbornness or “happy pushover” mentality prevents him. In the end the ML is able to overcome it and in this pov it’s a good story and its conclusion will satisfy you. The FL with her flaws stops him from overcoming his guilt by her not being honest with him and herself. By the end the FL overcomes her own guilt and her stubbornness. By the end she’s aware of how ML feels and uses her growth to consciously help the ML to overcome his guilt and self loathing. Both grow at the end of it and the ML who is the only main character, overcoming his guilt is so satisfying. If this is what you want then this story is a 8/10. Please watch.

The music and ost emotional and amazing.

Now if you want rom-com and romance. No this is a 1/10 for you as it’s not the story and you will probably hate both ML and FL. 2ML I absolutely hated. You won’t believe the romance between the leads but I think it’s done purposefully.

Now why the low score? The FL is so unlikeable. She’s childish and a coward with absolutely no redeeming qualities. All the other character are unlikeable too such as her brother with glasses, his son, 2ML. I liked the 2FL, the other brother, and the manager. Showing the guilt of each character is nice as this is the message they are pushing. But they make all the characters so unlikeable and don’t provide any growth for all of them to redeem them. So ur left not liking them. The brother with glasses ex-wife, u know why she left but really wtf she sucks and no redemption. If all characters matter with u, u will hate this show.

Because of this, I’d say, great concept, horrible execution. 3/10.

So to sum, if u want a story of a man overcoming his guilt and self loathing, u will love it. It’s thought provoking, deep, and mentally stimulating. It gets a low score cuz execution and other characters are so poorly done unfortunately. You will still enjoy it though.

If you want rom com u with a story of a couple and a focus on both leads, u will not get it and u will hate everything and think its total trash. in that case 1/10. Don’t bother.

I love the guilt angle and perspective. It was satisfying personally but objectively, i think the show had poor execution and unlikeable characters that u dont care about. I see the vision and for anyone who does love it, I understand why they do. If you loved it, would you agree with the lens/expectation I put?
