neither are right or wrong

Going into this, I knew what to expect- a childhood friendship that slowly grows into hatred. I do love the cinematography and omg the first two episodes where they depict their friendship as children, is beautiful, I also loved the role of the brother throughout. I love stories of complex friendships but I hate that one major fight they had was over a man, I despised that, when they were in college it was understandable, I honestly understood why both of them felt that way. And I personally will not take any Sang-Yeon slander. They both were terrible to each other, however Eunjung didn’t realise it that she was doing things that would make sangyeon feel inferior. I love Kim Goeun, but I feel eunjung lacked some depth, in the sense that the show wanted to put sangyeon at fault for everything, eunjung wasn’t a saint, and that is what is supposed to make the show, more meaningful, to show that both of them hurt each other in unexplainable ways. Either way Park Jihyun and Kim Go eun did a beautiful job and I couldn’t imagine anyone else, they both BECOME their characters and don’t just act. One major drawback of the show was that they brought the whole love triangle plot back when they were working and adults, I’m sorry I don’t think that was necessary? And I also believe sangyeon would’ve never gone back and confessed to him, idk. Anyway I cried so much, watching this, it reminded me of my own friendship (ofc we didn’t fight over a boy) , I think it was beautiful and deserves more appreciation though it does have it’s flaws.

okay, so everyone applaud kim yoo jung for basically carrying the show, I'll be fr, i lowkey fell out of it around episode 10 but I solely watched it cuz I love her portrayal of baek ah jin sm. If you ever plan on skipping on the drama please watch till episode 4 atleast and skip. I have read a little of the webtoon, I will say, young daes acting wasn't it, yes it was more promising than his previous roles, but the whole time junseo had one tone of voice. However his acting was bareable but flat. Jae oh is such a good character and at first I was confused as to why he was essential to the plot, and oh he was. In gang's character was tbh perfect, hwang in youp has the eyes to play this role, i could tell through them how geniune he was about ah jin, and it was all the more heartbreaking to see his end. My major criticism on the plot however is it's quite incoherent, like how easily everyone forgot Lena was meant to be a bully character, i will give it to this drama tho, they never make a bully have a redemption or something in any other drama. Seung hee's character felt irrelevant after the first episode, like why was she suddenly living with ah jin, how did she find a way to work at moon do hyuks mansion, it's very random and confusing tbh.
The ending *sigh* i kinda liked it, i was expecting a light yagami but ah jin lowkey has plot armour, it's not bad, just very badly executed. However the drama is worth a shot, also, honorable mention; in ep 11, when ah jin has to reenact the rooftop murder case, i forgot that this is an actress playing an actress, it felt so phenomenal.
