realistically bittersweet love
This drama is clearly not everyone's cup of tea based on the reviews, but it's a 10/10 for me. If you want a bittersweet realistic drama and a good cry (if you're a crier), then I highly recommend it.
I feel like most of the viewers who disliked this are just not the target audience. The story was really realistic for me as it explored all the struggles and conflicts life can give you. It was full of wrong timings and misunderstandings that I feel like could've been avoided if they, or mostly Eun-a, just actually talked to Tae-seo clearly and honestly before making all the decisions they did. However, I could honestly understand why they made all the decisions they did because hey, that's just how life happens sometimes.
Eun-a might've been self-centered but I understand where she is coming. It wasn't explored well but she went through so much and had to make decisions that negatively affected the relationship. Tae-seo on another hand was pitiful, I would say. He loved Eun-a for all those years and understood her every time. But, their own lives ultimately made it hard for them to be together.
I understand the other's sentiment that A-sol should've ended up together with Tae-seo, but it was fitting that they didn't. Tae-seo loved someone so deeply and him being together with A-sol would be a cheat to how he actually felt and it would've been just a forced connection due to A-sol's feelings for him. As for Seong-chan, in a way, he really just took advantage of Eun-a's vulnerability into having the kind of relationship that they had.
All in all, they were both right. Eun-a's place was right for her and Tae-seo's place was right for him. They were just not made to live in the same place.
Props to the writers for the rather realistic story. I personally think the actors did well in bringing me to tears every time, so props to them as well! It was a heartbreaking good watch. <3
