News Not Every Love Story Is Worth Rooting For
Honestly, this drama was a disappointment. The storyline had potential, but the execution, writing and character development failed to meet my expectations.
Namgung Ho (Seo Kang-joon) was one character I could genuinely sympathise with. He tried his best to protect his relationship with Mi-do and maintain boundaries when necessary. Even with Su-a, he knew where to draw the line. I appreciated that about him. He wasn't perfect, but I understood his perspective and felt that he genuinely wanted to protect his relationship.
Lee Mi-do (Ahn Eun-jin), on the other hand, was quite frustrating for me. However, one thing I appreciated was that she eventually recognised her own mistakes instead of constantly blaming Ho. I've seen many Instagram reels where people argue that Mi-do was right and Ho was wrong, but I personally see things differently. For me, Ho was trying to protect his relationship. It's not always about who is right or wrong; it's about respect, trust and understanding. When you're in a relationship, you should respect each other, love each other and be willing to compromise. If your feelings change or something is bothering you, communicate honestly rather than betraying your partner. Cheating can break someone's heart and make it difficult for them to trust anyone again.
Han Tae-seung (Lee Joo-ahn) was honestly one of the most annoying and frustrating characters for me. I understand that he has his own backstory, but even knowing that, I couldn't stop finding his behaviour irritating. He remained frustrating right until the very last episode.
On the other hand, Park Su-a (Jo A-ram) was easily my favourite among the four main leads. She was cute, sweet, genuine and an absolute green flag. I genuinely loved her character. Seeing her finally get her man, Namgung Ho, made me happy. I just wish they had received more screen time together in the final episode. Nevertheless, I'm happy for both of them!
Unfortunately, the overall writing and execution left a lot to be desired. Despite having a few characters and moments I appreciated, the drama simply didn't work for me.
No hate towards anyone or who enjoyed this drama. These are just my personal opinions and my interpretation of the relationships portrayed.
Rating: 3/10
