Complex people are not for everyone.
When I first heard about this drama, I did not really understand the title. But now I see that she wanter her friend and everything else around her
I wish I could say I didn’t understand Sang-Yeon. I wish I could say I hated her. But the truth is... I do understand her.
Cheon Sang-Yeon wasn’t evil. She was broken. Most of what she did came from fear and insecurity — reacting to a world she didn’t know how to trust.
Eun-Jung, on the other hand, was almost too kind, too naive. She just wanted to be loved by everyone. Maybe if she had set firmer boundaries from the beginning, things wouldn’t have gone as far as they did.
Each of them was flawed in their own way. That’s what made it so real. Still, as much as I sympathized with Sang-Yeon, I don’t think she deserved Eun-Jung’s forgiveness — and perhaps, she didn’t even deserve a happy ending. Sometimes, remorse comes too late.
This review might seem conflicting — because my feelings are conflicting. But I think that’s exactly what this show does so well. It makes you sit with the uncomfortable truth that not everyone who’s hurting deserves a second chance... even if you understand why they’re hurting.
