This will be an unpopular opinion. If there is one think I have learned about kdramas, that’s the marketing hook and the actual story can look very different. You get that passionate kiss preview that doesn’t actually happen until episode 18. I think if they had added the word 10 year “toxic” relationship, people’s opinions could cooperate better with expectations. Once the drama kicks off you can clearly see that you’ve got two people with lots of baggage. I won’t go into details cause I hate spoilers but I will say that this is about two people in a relationship carrying baggage they’ve never dealt with and the paths taken to address that. I wasn’t blown away only because the 2 leads didn’t necessarily offer a better alternative worth not rooting for the leads to work through their issues. I appreciate the variety.
