News Sometimes the platonic relationship is the better story.
I had to drop this drama because the writers just had to make things weird. Da-rim and Seon-u could have been one of the best platonic duos in K-drama history without introducing sexual tension or one-sided romantic feelings.
What made their relationship special to me was the connection Da-rim had with his child. She genuinely loved and cared for the child, and I thought that was the bridge that brought her and Seon-u together. It would have been beautiful to watch a relationship built on mutual respect, friendship, and a shared love for a child without having to turn it into romance.
I also got the impression that Seon-u felt that because Da-rim loved his child so much, building a relationship with her wouldn’t be difficult. But why does every meaningful connection between a man and a woman have to lead to romance? Sometimes friendship, trust, and genuine affection are enough.
