Reflection and Resolve

True to its title, this drama was a quiet, healing experience.

I saw myself in both of the leads. Swallowing words down until you choke or, on the other side of it, smiling and spitting up easy nonsense to cope.

Unlearning years of repression of your feelings and the anxiety that comes as it fades all takes time. How nice it is to have someone by your side, willing to listen and stand up for you when it's all too much to bear on your own, and speaking feels like dying. Someone who promises to stay.

For a tender love and complex leads, it's certainly worth watching.
