Saying “there are many forms of love” shouldn’t be used to justify unhealthy dynamics. Where is an honest…
Thanks for your reply. You're right - if you follow your definition of love which you split into feelings and responsibility. And I also agree that attachment issues exists in many relations. But I still believe that love exists in different ways which might not be in line with certain moral or ethical standards. What I sense here is emotional connection beyond that. And yes, struggle shouldn't cancel responsibility but as a matter of fact it simply does sometimes. And even if you're 30 or 40 or 70 you have the right to learn, to heal, get better - as well as the person affected by your struggles has every right to leave. I think the many (negative) comments on this drama show its true value :)
I actually don't understand the massive critic. Two broken teen souls thrown randomly together in a small village's school library is already tragedy enough.
She, left by her mother and being literally the guardian of her heavily depressed father, meets him, who lost his parents in a terrible accident not long ago and has all of a sudden to take care of his injured brother and elderly grandparents.
Both kids carried a deep trauma and despite being different in their behavior - she's bubbly, chatty, friendly like a "normal" girl; he's an introvert, not unfriendly but closed up and reduced - they share a deep sadness and insecurity concerning their presence and future.
For sure, this is a heavy and difficult constellation taking into consideration their age and naiveness on top. Anyway, his position is much better since his family background is much more stable than hers. Her childhood / teen life was about worrying about her father, denying her own needs and missing her mother who is simply gone.
So the question is what do you expect from two broken teenagers who try not to drawn, to be happy, to have a normal life?
They clearly love each other - and there are many different forms of love (!) - and this will heal them at the end. And this doesn't mean that they will stay together. The love that is still shining is the essence of their love which allows them to move on in peace.
First of all, it is a surprisingly modest tone here and everyone seems to like to really discuss issues! I saw a few comments that point out to the wife of the police officer. But what is her connection to the FL? And isn't it too obvious to give her one minute in the scene, letting her spy on the board? Just like throwing in a bone to bite on? And is there really a connection between the death of ML's sister and a) the recent insurance case b) the deaths of FL's exes? Maybe the big boss is playing all strings at the same time. Her connection to the FL is weird, at the end of the day she was responsible for the death of FL's parents but it seems like she knows the FL for a long time (not only since FL hired at the auction house). In fact she's the one with the biggest financial and psychological impact, having even the big shots under control. Though not flawless, this drama is truly interesting and it is quite rare not knowing the killer after 8 eps, great script, great actors....
