Mostly exaggeration yet still enjoyable
This is my first review, a rant actually. I'm writing it to get this off of my chest even though I might get hate comments or whatever.To start with, I never liked workplace bullying/harrassment stories. I'm not born privileged and am also from Asia but I never believed that there are such bullying/harrassment in workplace, let alone anyone would tolerate such bullying/harrassment (and rather choose to commit suicide) than to leave the company.
The story started somewhat good and with a lot of expectations but it quickly went downhill. While I have a soft spot for stories/characters with "disabilities" or "health issues", I felt like it was used more as an excuse here.
I am at episode 10 and am not sure if I will finish it. So, I might have wrong assumption about things as they may get corrected in later episodes.
"I" do not see any meaningful changes in their life, specially Miji. It felt a little dramatic. She holed up in her room for 3 years? How is that even possible? And only because she can't run anymore? It probably would have made more sense if she hadn't met Ho Su. She was already familiar with disabilities and was supposedly supporting Ho Su all along. And when it came to her own turn, how can she be so pathetic? And if I have to make comparison, Ho Su's condition is much worse than hers. It's not that she lost a leg, she just can't run. And she's only in high/middle school at that age? It might be life changing but not something destroying one's entire life. Not everyone's the top in their class or has grades that get them job in top companies in the country. And what, Miji and Ho Su never tried to talk about that "small" misunderstanding during the entire 10 years? Yet everyone around them knew? It all seemed like exaggeration up on exaggeration, just to drag the story along.
Re Mirae, I really didn't like any part about her story. To me, it seemed like she really didn't put any effort on anything beside studying. And her relationship with the strawberry farm owner was just too weird, fast-forwarded. How can someone who is so wary of gossips easily spend night with the same person people are gossipping about?
Re Ho Su, nothing much. Though, I coulnd't understand his worries about his mom. If he cares, why is he leaving her? How does he have the impression that his mum's not comfortable when she spent her life raising him? I liked Ho Su's mom's side of story. I really felt sorry for her.
Re Kim Sora, it was Ok at first but I don't know, the story kept dragging and all. It lost its charms along the way.
To me, all the relationship in the drama seem weird and not "real" at all.
Overall, it's enjoyable while you watch but not something I would recommend to anyone. Some emotional parts/actings are commendable though.
