A Love Story Without Illusions: A Drama That Stays With You
This is one of the best dramas I’ve watched with a romance angle. It’s far from an idol or commercial production—there are no typical tropes or fairytale endings here. Instead, it’s a truly heartwarming, grounded story that draws you into the characters’ lives and captivates you through their experiences.
The drama takes you on a journey through several relationships that you know from the start are doomed, yet you become invested in how they began, how deeply the characters loved each other, and how hard they fought to preserve that love—sometimes at the cost of their own happiness and life pursuits. You witness their growth from hopeful college graduates, to young adults in their twenties struggling to find their place in a competitive industry, and finally to individuals in their forties who have made peace with the choices that shaped their lives.
The story explores inner conflict and turmoil—balancing love and survival, self-love and devotion to a partner, security and dreams. I thought this was a beautiful drama that lingers long after the final episode.
