The first credit I would like to give to this story, is that it relatively feels real. Usually dramas are too fictional to relate to (ceo/yn, rich/poor), obviously this had a few aspects like that, but they didn’t take over the plot. The story is real, that’s what it was that attracted me to it. I actually felt the character growth in a way (a bit lacking) but still the ml especially deserved an honorable mention. By the end, the ml didn’t blame her, or anybody else, he knew that he saw some signs and he ignored them, and that he shouldn’t have done that. For the fl, the steps she had taken, are inspiring. Having gone through such traumatic events, she managed to slowly find herself and even got to her own conclusion by herself, that running away won’t get her anywhere. HOWEVER, one thing that bothered me till the end, is their relationship with their best friends. I know that this is a romance story, I know that the result is supposed to be « Now they can be together happily ever after forever », but at the end it felt like the fl genuinely did not care about anybody but the ml, she created a dependency which in real life would be too frightening. And even putting that aside, they were both bad friends, not once did they value their best friends enough to prioritize them. The ml outright skimmed through the dog passing away part and the fl never cared about her best friend’s feelings when she disappeared or even just when it’s obvious that she’s upset. Keeping in mind that their best friends both respectively prioritized them at so many other occasions.
So overall, if we’re just focusing on the romance, it was a nice story, but the best friends aspect was genuinely disappointing.
