A Great Show to Go Through A Breakup!
Ooh, another underhyped show! Judging by the summary I thought this show is going to be another goofy romcom, because a dating coach failed in a relationsip? Turns out this show involves a quite heavy topic, yet packed it in a very lightweight way: breakups. This show talks about two people going through post-breakup hardships. Each people has their own "coping mechanism" to respond a break up. However a break up is not about a winning or losing. If you have a wrecked car you can jump off from it, or bring it to a repair shop and drive it again.
I love the pacing of the story, it's somewhat slow-burn but really heartwarming. The intensity were building really slowly, but it was worth it at the end. It was also very funny on the middle part of the show. The ML and FL are really insufferable at the beginning, but I love their character development, maturing slowly as the story progressing. Great performance and chemistry for Yoo In A and Yoon Hyun Min. Also outstanding performance for Kim Ye Ji as Bo Mi and her chemistry with Jin Ho, and great performance from Hong Hwa Yeon too!
Several things that bother me: There was a scene where Bo Ra had a drink with Yu Jung after her boyfriend dumped and cheated on her. She insisted that she would try to win him back. I couldn't understand why Yu Jung cheered her on this instead of telling her to let go, because everyone should know this would bring more pain to her. During the period where Ju Wan was trying to get back with Bo Ra, where the heck was Da Mi going? Also the ring that Ju Wan offered to Bo Ra at the end was the same with the one that Su Hyeok bought at the beginning (and was rejected when he treid to refund). It was the last piece when Su Hyeok bought it, how could it end in Ju Wan's possession? I also think the story about Sang Jin and U Ri is unnecessary.
This show is must watch at least once. A very beautiful way to deal and cope a breakup. And since this show is a quote producing machine, let's conclude the review with Bo Ra's final word in her book:
"Our love is neither a perfect happy ending nor a sad ending, it's an open ending. There's no such thing as a strategy for love, that never fails."
