They should have title it the Notebook
The main lead playing DoBaWu with that stare of innocence shows the depth of love and pain one suffers with a one sided love. And yet the series shows the emotions of the characters in a way we can relate, albeit in a slower pace. After all that’s how unrequited love usually goes, long and slow and painful to the core. Who didn’t have a deep crush with a friend but never told him or her.
Koreans are so good in telling a story and in selecting the right actors to play the role. No frills or acts of cuteness just raw emotions. And their script writing is top notch as well. I’m glad they didn’t rush the storytelling allowing the viewer to question their actions mean I got pulled into my own past of regrets. People may not agree with me on this but loving Ina very fast works where our expectations of shows should feel like being on a fast moving train, life is usually a slow burn which allows us to adapt and most times, recover.
