A slow but exceptionally well-written drama with actors equal to the material. I can see why it won so many awards, it's the kind of drama industry people all hope to make...the one that might not be popular but they're most proud of.
This scene - If you or someone you love has struggled with depression or drinking, keep it in mind. I recorded it on my phone. Not a spoiler if you watched past the first episode or generally gotten the vibe. Kim Ji Won delivers with quiet impact. Loved her in this role.
Gu: Just when you think it’s going well…I’ve never even had one whole perfect day. Jung: Five minutes a day. Jung: If you have five minutes of peace, it’s bearable. Jung: When I hold the door open for a kid at a convenience store, and the kid says, “Thank You,” that makes me happy for seven seconds. Jung: When I open my eyes in the morning and remember it’s Saturday, that makes me happy for ten seconds. Jung: Fill up five minutes a day like that. Jung: That’s how I survive.
Oh and p.s. fwiw...speaking as a cis male, Son Suk Ku may well be the most attractive man i've ever seen. My god, those eyes.
