Drama Masterpiece!
First of all, thank you South Korea for giving me an age appropriate thirst trap (and amazing actor) in Lee Jun-ho. Secondly, thank you to South Korea for making me a heart shattered romantic and teary eyed mess for two shows in a row. I watched “Red Sleeve” right after finishing “My Dearest” and I’m wreck (in a good way).
This would absolutely be a perfect 10 if the writers hadn’t included one unnecessary plot point. Being based on a true story there were a myriad of ways to insert tension get the story to where they needed it. I don’t have words to describe this but if you’re a true romantic at heart, who enjoys mature connection and understands that love simply isn’t always enough you should watch this one. Ignore the comments that nothing happens and they hate the female lead. Her behavior does get hard to watch especially as your heart breaks for them both but if you understand her why you’ll be in tears for them both.
I feel like I started crying between episode 11 and 12 and cried every episode until the end. But at the same time I didn’t want it to be over. I loved the imagined ending the writers gave us, our hearts needed the respite. But hopefully there is a writer out there creating a modern day love story for them. A story for their third lifetime where they meet in Hyochang Park and finally get what their story lacked - more time (after he obeys her wish in the previous life).
