you will need tissues
I don’t know what everyone thinks about the ending, but personally I don’t think this was a happy-ending kind of kdrama. HOWEVER the ending is important not just for the story line but for the viewers. like the show said, (I’m paraphrasing) each one of us is someone’s family or friend meaning that each one of our lives is valuable. I think this is an important reminder for a lot of us. I honestly felt confused for a lot of the drama, but by sheer will power and my appreciation for Nam Joo Hyuk I stuck with the series and thank goodness I did. I love a lil cry sesh and this did the trick 🥹 I think all the actors did a fantastic job and I appreciated the drama’s commentary on the treatment of the older generation (flashback to the elevator scene). this is not a typical drama, but its worth the watch.the reason for my 8.5 review is for the amount of times I was scratching my head in confusion- like I get that it’s supposed to be a puzzle that you don’t understand until the end, but the only excuse for the confusion is the (spoiler) illness (I’m not saying the exact illness in order to not completely spoil it) at the end. that almost feels like a deus ex machina plot device but what do I know- it’s still a good show, but it requires patience.

I haven’t cried that hard in a while…
as the title suggests, I haven’t cried that hard watching a drama in a while (probably when i watched Weak Hero Class for the first time). The drama was phenomenal. The story was a good concept, there werent any holes in my opinion, and it felt like the perfect pace (not too rushed, not too slow). the acting was also *chef’s kiss.* the character arcs are also amazing. the themes of overcoming obstacles, facing challenges with friends, fighting for justice, and overall friendship/brotherhood were present. If you enjoy Weak Hero Class, you’ll probably love this too- I certainly did.Also, the band LUCY contributed to the OST, so it was great to hear their song come on since ive been a fan of their’s for a while.
Overall, this drama is definitely worth your time, and remember to bring some tissues.
