Painful, brilliant drama.
I think people are rating this drama based on it being a painful story to absorb, but it is brilliantly done. Congratulations to all the actors and staff, and to the writer. Wow!
I rate a story based on whether or not it accurately reflects truths about human existence and makes me think and perhaps consider something I hadn't before. This drama excels by that criteria.
Yes, it was intense to watch at times, especially the last 2 episodes for me, but I found it compelling and potentially helpful for people to reflect on their own relationships and tendencies. It made me think about... how we can be different people in different situations and the roles we perform for loved ones, how there is a balance to find between not being able to accept failures versus being too comfortable with them, how a stranger can sometimes see you in ways someone who has known you for decades cannot, what makes a family, what is necessary to manifest real change. etc. .
Gotta love these very clear titles that tell you what's up like Now We Are Breaking Up and a Love Other Than Yours!
If you are looking for a light, feel-good rom com, this is not it. If you are up for a deep, messy, but well-written and acted exploration of human needs, connection and behavior, A Love Other Than Yours will deliver.
