A romantic story about life beautifully told in a slow-breathed and melodic narrative.
Please ignore worthless hateful reviews, this drama is excellent and had good ratings in Korea. Jang Kiyong and Song Hyekyo are amazing, my favorite drama from both (except that Kiyong has Born Again before). It's a slow-paced, melodic, mature modern drama with a melodrama intrigue aka makjang (which suits SBS). The focus on the women is also really good, and the friendships along with the work scenes added dynamism to the drama.
Why the criticism? Haters of Hyekyo, noona romances and kdrama fans who lack the understanding to appreciate such dramas and only want a typical happy or sad ending, that's it and it's quite pathetic and not respectable to see such stupid hate here. Some comments are disgusting even and show how immature they are. In fact many people such as Kiyong and Hyekyo fans, especially adults and the elderly appreciate this drama. It's not meant to be the most entertaining but it's impressive. Why? Because it's poetic and relatable, because of its mature and philosophical dialogue, because of its title meaning so much more, because of its cast/ost/cinematography, because of its setting and work scenes, because of the scenes in Paris, the opening and the leads being the first to speak French so well in dramas. (I'm French so I know what I'm talking about)
it's simply not a drama full of cheesy lines, butterflies and face value. Add to that every kdrama fan who doesn't understand acting...
Hyekyo is great and she doesn't deserve hate. Personally I liked her the most here. The Glory being such a hit makes sense and I'm happy for her, but also, she got really close to the NWBU cast and it's probably the most important drama for her especially with what she said, which makes the drama and its storyline so much more beautiful.
Rewatch? Yes mostly for the leads, because they're so classy. Oh Sehun was also cool here.
