Hilarious Romcom That Lightly Tackles Social Issues
Second Shot at Love takes on a serious topic—alcoholism—but presents it in a light and entertaining way. This mix of humor and drama means the show could go in many directions, but so far, it handles things with care.
Alcoholism is a real issue in many places, especially South Korea, so the show has a big responsibility. It gives us a look at both sides of the story—how Geum-Ju’s drinking affects the people around her and what leads her to drink in the first place.
In the first episode, we see how her behavior impacts her mother and possibly her first love, Seo Ui-Joon. It’s also clear that her father and sister have been enabling her for a long time, even before her fiancé cheated on her.
One of the more interesting dynamics is between Geum-Ju and her ex-fiancé Ju-yeop. He allows her to drink but also nags her about it, seemingly to control her and make her more submissive—a hypocritical and toxic behavior.
