Lovely Romance, Complicated Message
I could have given this more stars because I genuinely loved the love story. However, I struggled with the way the drama handled disability.
We meet Sol as a person with a disability, unable to pursue the career she wants partly because the workplace itself is inaccessible. Yet when the story gives her another chance at life, her disability ultimately disappears too. She didn’t go back in time with the goal of preventing the accident or “fixing” herself, so I wish the drama had allowed her to remain a wheelchair user and still have the same beautiful romance, career, and happy ending.
I still adored the romance, but I wish the story had explored this part of Sol’s life with the same care it gave her relationship with Sun-jae. I also wish the grandmother’s storyline had been developed further, it had so much emotional potential.
