This drama hits close to home because I feel like as a girl, we all went through some kind of ´you’re my everything’ kind of friendship in our lives… to the point where we could see ourselves grow old and live together or is it just me…

Just finished this drama and all I have to say is with friends like Song Yeon who needs enemies. She was an emotional terrorist that weaponized her sadness so that Eun Jung would always be as miserable as she was. All she did was complain that she had no one but would be upset every time her friend would care for her or do something nice for. in episode 14 after she steals her work the pure joy on her face was so shocking to me. To top it off she came back and weaponized her cancer just to be a dark cloud in Eun Jung’s life one last time. she deserved to be alone at the end but I’m glad that Eun Jung can finally move on with her life with zero fear she will show up again.
just saw someone say this story lacked emotional depth? WHAT? all these characters were well-rounded with clear motivations for what they later did, no one simply did something for the fun of it, it was past-traumas, lack of mental capacity, inner turmoil and more. and for the people complaining about the main love-story, it’s a SLOW BURNNNN. read it twice, if you don’t want to watch something that is easily digestible and evidently happy, then don’t be UPSET, it’s just not for you!
i personally loved this drama, each episode you’re wondering what each character will do next, how will the effects change their perspective? it’s not a clear-cut drama, there’s secret clues and sly remarks (some which are hidden in the stares or imagery) that might go over your head, it challenges you to think about the world around each individual.
at points it gets frustrating, but that’s what good characters and plotlines do!
I’m defo in the minority here, but this is a really good twisted, thought-provoking drama…. lol. In a way it kinda is a borderline makjang? Like a toned down subtle psychological version….. the messages are presented in a very dramatic fashion, but it does really make you think about wot marriage actually means in the modern day world, and the notion of having kids etc.
I can totally understand all the polarising comments on MDL…. Anyways, because they kept it tight 8 episodes, I was totally engrossed in it. Good casting too. It probably wouldn’t have worked with just strong leads.
I usually hate slow burn romance but this was such a good drama. Very arthouse and unique. Exploration of characters, amazing ost, beautiful and haunting visuals, great acting & good chemistry.
It’s definitely gripping. Ever wondered why dramas are so predictable these days? They keep babying us—dropping hints here and there just to make sure we understand what’s going on. Although this drama is quite dramatic and even a bit twisted, I think it feels realistic. In real life, we don’t really know what’s going on inside other people’s minds or lives. The show depicts that in such a unique way, and since it’s a slow burn, I get that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. It isn’t my cup of tea either, but I don’t know why—I ended up enjoying it so much!
How can a 8 episode drama can feel so long but also short. I TELL YOU GUYS, The cinematography of this drama is different like, you cant compare it to the typical drama. AND the acting, the emotions?!?? oml, you dont need subtitles to know what they want to portray, the acting was wow! The chemistry is also out of the world, this is why veteran actors are YUPPP!!! The story is mature, but it kept me invested.
