A realistic story
I’m quite shocked by how poorly this drama is being rated. I absolutely loved it.
Yes it was frustrating, and hurtful and makes you want to die— but so many other kdramas who are exactly like that, are what stick by you and make you remember it forever.
I quite liked the ending and the route it took. I initially began this kdrama not knowing the plot at all, so when other love interests came in, I was absolutely shocked and assumed that the show would take the boring and cliche route where the main couple chooses each other in the end.
But it did quite the opposite. This is reality, and it’s very much accurate depiction of love between two people who have been together since childhood. It is okay for feelings to fade, it is okay to feel guilty about it, people hurt it each other and they make shitty decisions, mistakes, failures and successes and everything in between.
I do not understand why this show is being viewed from a black and white perspective. It is depressing but so was My Mister and it is one of the most widely loved shows.
If I’m honest, this show gave me the exact same feeling ‘Hi Bye Mama’ kdrama gave me. I could not hate any of the characters there. There was not a single villain in there. Everyone makes mistakes, and as painful and stressful as it was to watch, I happen to find the way things unfolded beautiful— albeit bittersweet, it was real and it was fair.
Everytime I enter a Kdrama I hope to some degree that they keep up with realism. If the main characters ended up together again, then what the hell would the point even be?
Everyone in this story was hurt, it was a domino effect and that was the whole point of the show. Sometimes, if you give too much of your love, it turns into pain. And that’s what I think this show tried to convey.
Even an undying, loyal and strong love like Mido and Namgungs, can lead to a ruin. Nothing ‘too much’ is good. And love falls into that category as well.
In any case, I hated some episodes, I hated some characters, I hated some decisions and dialogues, it felt like some things were never leading to anything at times but as you keep watching, and let things unfold the way these characters know best, it becomes something beautiful.
It’s gut-wrenching, but my god did it leave an impact. 10/10
