Wow, just wow.
I knew that this drama would be good, because I know how good Park Boyoung's acting is but I didn't know how much I would love this drama.
Everything from characters, from production was so beautiful.
This drama is a good example of how representation matters, in this drama we got a good amount of it. We got representations for different problems like mobbing, bullying, homophobia, motherly love, disabilities and how hard is for you to live with them, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, sexual abuse/domestic abuse and how hard it's for you to escape it or make people believe you. I might be biased because I feel deeply connected to many topics that I mentioned but this drama was something everyone needs to watch. It might be really depressing but at some point it will start to feel healing.
The one thing that we also got many representations for was love. Many kinds of it.
The love between a mother and her child, how a mother would do anything for her children.
The love between siblings, how even if they are fighting or just not talking to each other they still understand each other without any words and how they would do everything for each other.
The one between friends, which wasn't as showed in this drama but was still something needed. Because everyone should have one person that will support them no matter what.
The love between two people that met one day, and since that day they felt like something just felt right, and how this kind of love can show out of nowhere. It's as Hosu's mother said, "Love isn’t about winning or losing. It’s about remaining on the same team until the very end even if you lose. Love is about staying together even if you lose a hundred or a thousand times.".
And the saddest one, the love that just never happened because people made it look like it was wrong, even though it's not confirmed I had to mention it because whole Sangwol's and Miji's best friend story made me cry as a person that is queer.
In the end I feel like everyone should watch it, at this point this drama is just art and nothing less. Many lines that were said in this drama can help someone but my favourite is this one, from Miji's and Mirae's grandma. "Yesterday is over. Tomorrow is yet to come. Today is yet unknown." Our unwritten Seoul, is something that made me cry for the first time while watching a drama, and that's why I don't see myself rating it lower. Park Boyoung's and Park Jinyoung's acting is just made for dramas like this, even if they will make you cry.
*MUSIC IS RATED ONLY 5 BECAUSE I USUALLY DON'T FOCUS ON IT.*
