The Hype is True - you must try this!
Ahhhh this was so good. I wasn't going to try it - I think I've heard so much about it that just had the opposite effect on me. But I decided one day and thankfully I did. It's as many people say - SO good.
Park Bo Young is incredible portraying these two characters like they are actually two individual people. Especially on the romance angle, this was so much more evident because somehow there isn't a chemistry with the male leads when they switch. This is like a masterclass in acting.
Park Jin Young as Ho Su - I loved Ho Su, what a loveable, gentle character. He was brought to life so well by Jin Young. I loved how supportive he was and how he truly loved Miji for who she is. Never looking at what she lacks which she herself tends to do.
Ryu Kyung Soo as Han Se Jin - probably my fave character - I saw a review that said he made the drama more grounded (?) and I agree. He's such an understated, down to earth and easy going character. Honestly I think it's Ryu Kyung Soo's portrayal that made the character so special. The little details, nuances all added up to make him a very memorable character. He gave off warm vibes and was exactly who Mirae needed at that time and vice versa.
I love how everything was resolved, it was satisfying. I cried a few times because it felt like you were being spoken to and watching the twins face their obstacles was comforting in some way and watching them overcome them was satisfying.
I love the bond that grew between the mums and although a lot were annoyed with the twins' mum, I can understand her perspective. I think it helped that I binge watched this, so there's no lingering on annoying scenes for too long. Ho Su's mum was amazing and she was portrayed amazingly by Kim Sun Young. Ok Hui was also a realistic portrayal of a single mum who just had to get on with losing her husband, raising the twins and her mum falling ill. It was a lot and she made a lot of mistakes but I just love the scene where she helped Miji view flats.
The romance was so satisfying - I love how they have developed Ho Su and Mi Ji's relationship, seeing them together was comforting because these were two people who just gets each other and are finally together. I LOVE LOVE the scene where they were signing to each other! It was such a short scene but so symbolic, like they are in it for life, no matter what it brings them. That was comforting.
Mirae and Sejin - where we saw Ho Su and Mi Ji's relationship evolved fully, these two had a more understated, read between the lines development. Rightfully so but because the chemistry was also amazing, I just wish we could see them more somehow. I wanted more in that final scene. I'd love to see them do mundane things, like just walking around in Seoul, being back in their farm and talking. And finally be an actual couple. I think this is why I'm hung up on them 😭 I need to see the development on screen lol.
Plus that grandma dream scene where she asks Mi Ji if she wants her to stay longer. That hurts because of course it's a yes, but she's suffered for too long. I wished the grandma got better somehow 😭
And Gyeong Gu is the best friend for real ❤️
OVERALL, yes there's a lot of hype but it is there for a reason. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
