Power of love
Ultimately it’s a drama about healing not being linear. I didn’t like the AI art at all and found the use of it, didn’t help the drama at all but outside of that there were many good things. The acting was great and I love that there wasn’t a villain. This drama was really about each of our characters who just wanted to keep going even when everything felt against them. I loved each character for a different reason and therefore rooted for them all.I did feel that the last minute reunification was a bit unsatisfying to Chan’s arc bc he constantly ran away in the past (not that I really blame him tbh he went through hell) but I would’ve LOVED for him to hear that from SuJin and still stuck by Ha Ran’s side because he promised he’d never leave her no matter what but we got a happy ending so I’m satisfied.
I also really enjoyed the Grandma getting her own romance, it was very sweet and I would’ve loved to see her in a wedding dress but sometimes it seems dramas are scared of hot actresses above the age of 40.
Solid drama and I don’t regret watching. Here’s hoping that future dramas put the AI down though bc there’s so many incredible artists in Korea and they would’ve made a better Ha Ran drawing haha.

A Fun Time with Shin Hae Sun
Really compelling story about the multiple faces of our Sarah Kim. It’s interesting to think about how many different kinds of “us” there are. I honestly found myself rooting for Sarah quite a bit and a little annoyed at the judgement from Mu Gyeong. Part of the reason Sarah existed is due to the unfair practices the pushed her into a 500k debt. The samwol store that makes their employees pay for lost merchandise and yet won’t even allow them an accessible place for the bathroom. The illegal loan sharks that forced a signature for more money. Even so, she saved the man whose business pushed her farther into debt. Sarah isn’t perfect but I felt I could still appreciate her sheer ingenuity and tenacity to survive. Also, I don’t think it’s a scam to create a luxury brand because that’s literally what they all do. Poetic, really, at the end that the while Mu gyeong held contempt of Sarah for her lies, he also gave him to reach his own ambitions. I think once Sarah is released, she’ll rise again though and i’d love to see it.Was this review helpful to you?
