"Namib" is a story about two broken people who help each other heal.
Soo Hyun seems like a very cold and distant person, but in reality she is a woman who carries a lot of guilt, she blames herself for her son's accident and his hearing loss. Soo Hyun doesn't want to appear weak, so she hides all her problems and worries, trying to fix her son's future, with the obsession of buying a factory for him. One day she meets Yoo Jin Woo, a very talented young man, but in order for that to become something, he needs work and attention, so she makes a deal with Jin Woo, she will sign with him, with the promise that Jin Woo will become popular and pay her back.
The drama is very intense, the story deals with difficult issues like self-harm, depression and guilt, as well as the whole issue of being an idol, how this life is not easy at all. It is a beautiful story, because it takes all of this and turns it into hope. Jin Woo is an incredible singer, but his life was very difficult and hurting himself, it was his way of surviving, of coping... Soo Hyun then becomes his shelter, his home and the person who changed his life.
It's the kind of story that people need to watch, it's inspiring, it reminded me of the drama "Uncle". If I had to find a flaw, it would be that there are only a few musical moments, there should be more.
There was also an extra bit of happiness, every moment between Joon Suk and Bong Gyu, their bromance is so cute. At first they only fought because of Soo Hyun, but after spending so much time together, they became friends <3
