They said it’s not worth it. NOPE! watch it and decide
What I love most about this drama is the lesson about a peaceful life. There’s a scene where the ML reads his parents’ expectation for his future career: “anything is fine, as long as it’s safe and peaceful, as long as it can support your life without hardship.” That moment made me want to become that kind of parent someday.
To me, the title shouldn’t be “still shining”, but “still you".
Many people say it’s a waste of time. Maybe because of the open ending? And yes, it can feel frustrating at times.
Some also say the characters are annoying. But for me, they’re not. Maybe because I can still tolerate themespecially compared to The Summer I Turned Pretty, where the characters feel even more frustrating and sometimes don’t make sense.
There’s no real antagonist here. I actually love all the characters ML, FL, SFL, SML, even the supporting ones. They feel alive, not just there to fill the story.
To me, this is truly a masterpiece. It’s a drama that made me think deeper and feel deeper to understand their struggles and slowly learn to tolerate their choices and flaws. And I could.
I love the overall storyline: two people who were each other’s first love in their youth. After they break up, they try to move on with other people, but it doesn’t work because that first love still shining in their hearts. Ten years later, they meet again and try to be together once more, only to break up again due to differences in future plans, their inability to carry life’s burdens together, and their own uncertainties.
One of my favorite lines is when the ML says, “If you ever want to plan a future with me, contact me.” And in the end, she really does.
The ending feels like a moment of clarity. The ML finally knows what he wants. He knows the answers where to go, what to do, and who to be with. And then she follows, slowly realizing what she truly wants too. To me, this is a happy ending.
Every time I hear I’m the Man Who Can’t Be Moved, it will remind me of this drama.
