Partly heartwarming but continued past its sell by date
what to say about this at the end?
very good drama with all carefully worked out stories and appealing characters however、
it went on too long 、as so often k dramas can not resist to squeeze every drop from the orange when it is already starting to go mouldy and I was losing interest around episode 14 if not before
the end nostalgia is nice but what starts as heartwarming ends verging on syrupy or maudlin [if I have correct english] I think,
for me the ghostly "what might have been" dialogue towards the end was truly just weird and added nothing
frankly it becomes tedious seeing how successful and emotionally understanding all the characters are when to any rational human being it is simply not believable、 indeed a lot of suspension of belief is needed as this drama ends
I have sympathy for Baek Yi-Jin's character but absolutely no respect、 he behaved very badly even allowing for psychological flight and even if as implied at the end [it is not entirely clear] he expected Na Hee Do to fight more to keep him [what does he expect her to do、drop everything and fly to US] this is just infantile、indeed Na Hee Do could say she expects the same from. him but her character is more mature
nevertheless the many interesting themes and involving story for most of the drama made me watch to the end。 I feel this started as a youth [? rite of passage] drama then went beyond its natural bounds to become a melodrama。
