Mixed Feelings all the way
Maybe it’s because I already knew the ending when I started watching this drama, but either way, I experienced a wide range of emotions throughout the episodes. I laughed so many times, but I also cried more than once. I felt the love between the FL and ML intensely, but it also hurt to think about how it was going to end. I don’t think of the ending as a bad one; I see it as a realistic one — and that’s exactly what makes it hurt the most I want that kind of deep emotion to last longer and end up in something meaningful. Maybe that’s the whole problem — because I just can’t understand how Hee-Do and Yi-Jin could forget the memories and let go of that love (even though it’s all part of being human).
The story is one of the most beautiful and well-crafted ones I’ve ever enjoyed watching. It’s a story about hard work, life, and courageously finding your own path — that’s what this drama meant to me. I connected deeply with every character, and I think that’s the strength of the screenwriting. It felt like something truly real — like an experience you could’ve had during your high school years.
And the acting — putting everyone else aside — I absolutely LOVE Kim Tae-Ri’s performance. She’s incredibly talented and puts so much effort into every role she takes on. She brings something uniquely different to each character, and I admire her acting so much that I think it’s one of the show’s greatest strengths. Though I should mention that Nam Joo-Hyuk’s acting was really enjoyable to watch in this drama. I do think there’s still room for improvement in his acting, but his chemistry with Kim Tae-Ri feels so real that I could truly believe every glance of his was filled with love for Hee-Do.
Finally, I truly believe this drama is worth watching. Among the many dramas I’ve watched, this is honestly one of the best. It’s still hard to accept how things turned out in the end, and of course, there were some parts that could’ve been better — but at the end of the day, I truly enjoyed it. This kind of genuine emotion in a drama is becoming harder and harder to find in K-dramas these days — it used to be more common.
