I really enjoyed watching it, although there were some moments I didn’t like. Lee Min Ho is simply amazing; his charisma fills the screen. I have a question about the very end: [spoiler] he asks her to cook for him every day, so they are planning to live together, right? [end spoiler]
The supporting characters are also well-developed, but regarding the main heroine, I liked her a lot at first when she was in the U.S., but then her character became too dull, always with a sad expression, and it started to annoy me. Her weakness contradicts the fact that she studies and works in several places. This means she is a strong person, capable of fighting, so it doesn’t make much sense to me (her weakness). There is something illogical about some characters in this film...
There is something about the movie that keeps you watching, perhaps it's the themes or the performance of the main character? He's quite natural, without the aura of a 'star,' although he lacks a bit of charisma. However, the female lead really annoys me with her voice and static facial expressions, even though she has a pretty appearance.
As for the characters, they haven't been developed enough so far — it's unclear why the guy falls for a girl who behaves so harshly and arrogantly. I often see this in Chinese dramas, where the woman has a very strong character and the man has none at all... the opposite dynamic, or where the girl must at least once 'try to kill or avenge' the guy.
The secondary characters also suffer from a lack of depth, although they could have explored interesting themes like domestic violence, divorce, and different kinds of reality show backstage ...
I have a neutral standpoint. I don't favor one character over another, so I always let myself delve into each…
and then there is a real evolution of his character (well done the writer) because at the beginning he was indecisive and now he goes forward and clearly expresses his needs
Seok Ryu is still evolving... she has to overcome several things before the end of the series (including self-acceptance, letting go ?)
Lol not to be petty (because I don't hate No Gain No Love, it's a fine if not forgettable drama) but watching…
"I like the other one too No Gain No Love, the actor performs well, and so do the others. The only downside is the actress—I just can't connect with her."
An artwork, whether it's a painting, music, or film, is interpreted differently by each person, shaped by their own sensitivity and experience. There is never just one interpretation; sometimes the artist creates something, but each individual reimagines it through their own prism.
"Many people think that the FL (female lead) doesn't love the ML (male lead) and prefers her ex. I don't think so. True love and a real relationship are when you can stay yourself with that person. She feels comfortable with ML. Plus, she's always close to his soul; he's her soulmate. She's caring, she looks after him, and she needs his presence in her life. True love isn't just physical, but about understanding, devotion, and freedom of self. She has always loved him, but as a woman, she had buried that feeling deep down until she lost him. And when she saw ML again, I believe that 'physical' feeling reappeared, little by little. We'll see the relationship evolve into a romantic one. But it will take a few months, I think, to establish that.
Sorry, I don't think you should call a guy, even if he's your friend, at midnight and leave several messages, etc. You can really see that there's a difference between FL's relationship with ML and ML's relationship with his childhood friend (Jung Mo Eum) . They're very close, but there's no crazy attraction or soul-deep connection."
There are many clues about the girl love: In episode 4, when she reads her letter, it says 'when, where, and how,' which I believe refers to her love for her friend (Seung Hyo ). I also think that whenever her friend (Kim Ji Eun) asks if she's still in love, she answers, but the response doesn't necessarily pertain to her ex.... And In the bathroom scene, she admits to herself that she was the one who fell in love first.
I think this drama touches on relevant topics such as work-life balance, finding your path and sticking to it, even if it's not considered 'prestigious.' Alongside this, it explores the importance of listening to your heart, understanding your needs and feelings—this is part of growing and maturing.
As for the boy (Seung Hyo) , it's about being more assertive, decisive, expressing and showing what he need. In the end, both characters are on similar.
It's quite similar to "Queen of Tears". They tried to reverse the roles—this time, she prefers her childhood friend over her ex. She was also demanding of herself, a perfectionist in her career, emotionally quite reserved at first, and kept things hidden from her parents.
