? Second Shot at Love — Hits the Heart, But Not Quite a Bullseye
One of the best parts of this drama for me was the older sister’s love story. 💕 It felt raw, real, and honestly so touching. Watching two people accept each other’s flaws and still choose love? That takes courage — and it gave their romance an emotional depth you don’t always see in K-dramas.
I also appreciated how the show didn’t shy away from serious issues. The way it highlighted alcohol addiction and how it slowly erodes a person’s identity was powerful (and sadly very real). Big thumbs up to the writer for tackling that side of reality.
Now… onto the part that bugged me 😅 — the mental hospital arc. Like, seriously? Locked away for that long without anyone noticing? Felt way too exaggerated. I get it’s a drama, but still… it stretched believability a bit too far for me.
Overall, Second Shot at Love is a meaningful watch with strong performances and important themes. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing to make it truly unforgettable.
