From the very beginning I knew this series was going to break my heart. I believe it was on the first episode when the FL told the ML:

"Being considerate makes me feel like a better person. But walking on eggshells just makes me feel pathetic. And if I feel more pathetic, I'll be done for good."

The first few episodes made me feel a very deep sorrow, like I had never felt watching any drama--and I have watched a lot! I hated that feeling but I had to see it through to the end. Half way through, the sorrow turned into disgust. I was hating every thing about the drama, including all of the characters. This repugnance was aggravated by the length of the series, a side plot that took way too much of my viewing time, poor editing in some episodes--One episode felt like it was edited by the newbie in the AV club--, and people calling it reality. This story was very contrived. Only the beginning and the end felt real. Everything in between revolved around a ridiculous scheme.

I did not know how I wanted the series to end, but I knew I how I did not want it to end, and of course it ended exactly like that. Thirty minutes into the last episode, I wanted it to shut off my laptop. However, the last ten minutes or so did what the many hours before could not do: get my attention and not make me regret watching it.

The cast and the acting were superb, but it was all wasted on a mediocre story. It is not the worst drama I have seen, but I will never recommend A Love Other Than Yours.
