Romantic & Aesthetic but ML lacks depth
I’m sad cause I really wanted to like this. I’m a big of the writer’s previous projects and I loved the casting for main and second couple.
But what kept me from loving this show was how little the show let us get to know the ML. The FL dealing with trauma she experienced and breaking societal norms about family ties was beautifully well written. She seemed docile and gentle during a majority of the show but really showed her back bone during scenes that mattered. Highlighting that she was not going be your typical “victim”
However because this was a romance, I found it off putting that we knew next to nothing about the ML. What was his family situation like that made him seem so distant and cold? what was his dynamics with his parents and his sister before and after they went to college? what about the FL healed him enough for him to wait all thos years and become so dedicated to her? what was the internal dialogue of his feeling towards her?
We never really see what type of person the ML is besides being a lover and protector of the FL. Because of that the sweet scenes seemed bland and the heavier scenes left you wanting more of what the ML was thinking.
Still worth the watch if you have the time for 32 episodes but definately a bit dissapointing.
