The hiccups stopped in the last episode when she encountered him, and in this episode, there were clearly some boundaries between SFL and Nam Gyung that he hadn’t really addressed.
Firstly, I genuinely did not expect them to reconcile. And from the very beginning, I wasn’t really on board with the idea of a 10-year relationship getting reconciled because of two people outside the relationship trying to understand their “spark.” Like, why are we defining love only through sparks and butterflies? 😭
Because, bro, long-term relationships have boring days. There are days when you don’t have the energy, you don’t feel particularly lovey-dovey, and you’re just two people existing around each other. That does not automatically mean the love is gone. Love can be calm. It can be peaceful. It can be affection, care, comfort, familiarity. You cannot continuously be like, “Oh my God, I’m crazy about this person!!!” 😭 Like, that is not the only definition of love.
And now that they’re finally giving us these slow-mo moments between the second leads and the main leads, it’s honestly getting kind of creepy. Because at this point, I feel like both of them are just going to micro cheat emotionally and then eventually go, “Despite everything, I realised I love my partner after all.” Like??? 😭
I genuinely hope this is NOT the crap they’re going to put us through because we would be very, very disappointed.
And honestly, if they didn’t want to take this in a different direction, they should’ve just kept the couples on a break.
2. I find their concerns genuine but their reactions might feel aggregated a bit
With this drama, I genuinely feel that the production failed to deliver what was promised as the setup of the drama, and I have every right to write a rant about that. I wrote this review based on my own experience, and 126 people, as of now, have agreed with it. So it’s clearly not like I’m the only person who felt this way, right?
If you don’t like my review, you can simply scroll past it and write your own review praising the drama. That’s literally how opinions work. 😭
And no, I’m not a petty person who just randomly rants. I gave a pretty detailed explanation of why I didn’t like this drama. I didn’t just go, “Oh my God, I hate the FL/SML, the drama sucks, the writer sucks, everything sucks.” I actually explained what bothered me, why I felt that way, and what I thought the drama failed to deliver.
So if you’re telling me to “look at the broader perspective,” “try seeing it from a different view,” or whatever else, I already have. I’ve considered my perspective, formed my opinion, and I’m perfectly happy with it. I don’t want to be influenced into changing my views just because someone else experienced the drama differently.
You’re more than welcome to disagree with me. Just don’t expect me to change my opinion because you didn’t like my review. 😭
One thing I genuinely like is the dynamic between the ML and FL. It never feels like one person is constantly carrying the story. Sometimes FL is the one taking charge, sometimes ML is, and that balance makes their partnership feel refreshing.
The episodic cases have also been pretty entertaining. One case actually made me emotional, while the others have all been engaging in their own way. I'm still a little confused about the world's rules and how everything works because they keep introducing new elements, but nothing has felt so inconsistent that it ruins the experience.
Now for my biggest complaint. Both the SML and SFL are incredibly annoying.
The SML feels bland. I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to feel about him. It seems like the drama wants him to come across as this mysterious, edgy, serious guy, but none of that is landing for me. His character feels so transparent that I can already see where his storyline is headed. It is becoming way too predictable, which makes him even less interesting.
Honestly, instead of making the SFL a bitch, I think it would have been much more refreshing if she had been someone who genuinely understood the FL. Instead, her wickedness just feels unnecessary. Her motivations seem to change depending on what the plot needs, so she ends up sticking her nose into everything for no real reason. It makes her character feel less compelling rather than threatening.
The supporting cast is fine. I do not dislike them, but I also do not find them particularly memorable yet. Their interactions and gossip are starting to feel repetitive.
I think the funniest part, and something that has bugged me throughout, is that not a single family member has ever fucking questioned her in six fucking years about why the fuck she always wears those gloves or why she never touches anyone. Like, seriously, no one found that even a little suspicious? Honestly, if someone acted like that in real life, especially after COVID, I'd be convinced they still had COVID or something. Like, you've been wearing gloves and refusing to touch people for six fucking years, and nobody in the family thought to ask why?
That said, despite all these complaints, I am genuinely having a great time. I binged all the episodes instead of studying, which probably says enough about how entertaining it is.
I really hope the second half keeps up this momentum. Even if the overall story does not end up being incredible, I want it to maintain this rhythm because it is genuinely fun to watch. The episodic cases are probably my favorite part, and I hope they continue delivering interesting stories.
Also, I absolutely love FL's outfits. Her styling has been amazing. The chemistry between the ML and FL is another huge plus. They are very natural together. FL has been great, while I still think the SML had the potential to be much better.
Bonus: I genuinely cannot take the slow mo hero shots of the ML seriously. Every time he gets one of those dramatic slow mo entrances or heroic moments, I just end up laughing. I get what they are going for, but instead of making him look cool, it cracks me up every single time🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is my favorite season as well because I truly think it was necessary for us. We went through Yumi’s heartbreak for two whole seasons, and this one felt like healing not just for her, but for us too. It genuinely felt like closurewe NEEDED. I’m sure every Yumi viewer who has been watching for all these five years, just like us, felt that same sense of comfort.
