As someone with complex PTSD which usually stems from childhood trauma which is one of the key aspects of this…
There is definitely so much more going on here than you seem to understand and I feel bad that you couldn't take in this series like I did! I cried throughout the entire series and I felt sad, angry, warmth, and everything in between! I actually watched it twice in a row!! I loved it so much I changed my lock screen and home screen to the cover! I changed all of my social media pictures to this cover photo of IOTNBO as well!
As someone with complex PTSD which usually stems from childhood trauma which is one of the key aspects of this series, I isolate and push people away which Gang-Tae did in the show. I was severely abused from the age of 4 until the age of 14 while in a government run facility. They broke one kids arm, I was drug down 2 flights of stairs by my hair, smeared across the carpet when we got to the bottom, then flipped over and was nearly choked unconscious. This kind of stuff went on for years! I had issues with my mother too because she was a drug addict and got involved with heroin. Which causes trust issues and compounded with my complex PTSD, worsened my isolation and trust issues! For some odd reason I always date toxic people and I just want to be loved! I don't want a toxic relationship that ends badly but it always happens which makes me isolate even more and to the point where I just stopped dating!
I think you don't realize the kind of trauma these characters actually experienced! Mun-yeong and sang-tae witnessed a murder and Mun-yeong mother was abusive! Neglectful mother's can cause narcissism in men and idk what it does to woman but I'm sure it's not good! Imagine what abusive mother's can do to a child?
It's a beautiful story because mun-yeong was gang-tae's first love and gang-tae was her first but mun-yeong's mother got in the way and ruined it for them! They were abandoned by their parents and we're orphans too! These types of people don't want to be alone and they just want to be loved! I know because I have no parents, no grand parents, no aunt's or uncles, etc.
They lean on each other and grow to heal and become better! A lot of us with complex PTSD don't get better! I deal with anger issues and severe depression and I will live with that for the rest of my life!
Not only are these types of people attracted to each other but they know who each other is and they were each other's first love - they know that! The other has what the other wants and the other gives what the other needs! They were perfect for each other!
You should look into complex PTSD! It's a very sad and painful condition!
The movies that I like watching the most are the movies that make me cry and that make me feel! This made me cry…
Nvm I checked out your profile and you gave it a 2 out of 10 lol man that sucks! I also saw that you watch movies a d shows from other countries outside of Korea. Good for you! ☺️

You don't need to put yourself through that! Why reflect on something that bothers you that you are ultimately able to avoid? Just don't watch those movies! There are movies from all over the world that portray that countries culture, morals, and ethics. We have so many to choose from: Hollywood, Bollywood, Tollywood, Korean cinema, Chinese cinema, even the French make some good gore horror movies!
You know what I just finished watching? It's okay to not be okay! You should watch it! It's so amazing! It made me cry so hard for the entire last episode. I cried throughout the entire series but I also laughed, and gasped, and fan girled too! It is my new favorite kdrama and I think it's going to be hard to find something better!
It's weird because I feel like it left a hole in my heart that I am trying to fill ...fill with another kdrama of similar quality lol maybe that hole was always there and the kdramas temporarily fill that hole 😭
I would never watch any garbage Disney puts out! American culture made its way into manga and anime and will slowly pollute Korean cinema with their woke culture. They have a weird obsession with race and gender.
The movies that I like watching the most are the movies that make me cry and that make me feel! This made me cry so hard and so much! It made me feel so many different emotions as well! Idc if this series was made for men, women, youths, children, etc., as long as it's good and makes me cry and feel! Romance/drama are my preference but I also like horror, action, thriller, etc. I don't focus who it's made for or who made it. I care if I enjoy it, if it's good or not. Like The Witch was a female lead but who cares because it's good! I listen to Taylor swift but hear music is geared towards woman! Do I care no! I am not gay but I just like what I like and like what I want! I won't let society or others tell me what I am supposed to watch, what I am supposed to like, or what I am supposed to be mad about! You shouldn't focus on race/gender so much and just enjoy life! Enjoy the movies/shows!
Btw, I'm a 225 pound man that's in the gym 7 days a week, I use steroids, and I am covered in tattoos! I have arm sleeves, legs work, rib pieces, etc. I used to box and do MMA too. Point is that I am someone a lot of people would never think of as a romance/drama fan and I am certainly not someone people would think that cried watching movies. So stop putting labels on people and again stop focusing on gender/race so much.
