Dreams can come true, even with much struggles
The story revolved around two high school students whose lives were shaped by their own choices or the choices of other people around them. As young people, they may be subject to their parent's decision in the case of Soo Bin or strive hard as in Yi Jae's struggle to break through in the film industry. This may be what the young generation may be facing right now.
Hyeri's character, Yi Jae, may be similar to other people who had a taste of success when she was young. However, her dream to be a successful director didn't come easy. Her struggle was even highlighted when her first love, Soo Bin came into the picture after 10 years as an accomplished director. We may think Soo Bin stole her dream, since he didn't have any when he was young. Yi Jae inspired him. The question then, will Yi Jae strive to be who she wants to be or let the voices around her dictate her future?
The story gave us some complication with Soo Bin's father being abusive and possessive. I wonder why they didn't even have the courage to file a police report for his abusive acts. now that Soo Bin is an adult. Even the way that his father thrashed his house is enough evidence to put that man in jail. Somehow the father, has his own reasons to be harsh towards Su Bin and his wife. He tried to shape his son to be like him and not like his real mom.
As for Yi Jae, there is quite a transformation of character as soon as she recognizes her love for Soo Bin. She may have scars in the past, yet the moment she and Soo Bin reciprocated each other's love, she is somehow healed. Her struggles in life may be about her career, while for Soo Bin it may be his father. Yi Jae is learning to stand on her own, to embrace her true calling and support his first love.
The second leads have their own troubles, but nothing too difficult to handle. I am rooting for them to get out of the struggles with CEO Ahn and truly be free to love each other. I hope their love story won't be crushed.
The life in the spotlight is truly a difficult one. Rumors, scandals and even bad behavior affected their lives and even their own works.
