too realistic and rustic, literally made me cry for 7749 days
I hate it when it's not recommended to summarise the story, because it's too beautiful to not talk about.
- As for the story, I personally regard it as slow enough to catch up with, with the later episodes (4-7) gradually resolving the issues one by one. The first knot was the reason they lost contact 12 years ago, and the second knot was their life within those years without each other. Each knot was solved gently through compassion, understanding and resilience. The ending was a relief and overall satisfying for me, not developing anything further but emphasising its philosophy that went through every episode of the film. Characters' buildings are absolutely stunning as well, with Lee Do Hoe's incredibly realistic characteristics of someone who lived with his violent parent. Some may not like Do Hoe's behaviour and manners, but I myself totally empathise with what he did because of the trauma and self-torture he suffered from. Anyway, it's not something unusual for someone to be a little bit selfish and regretful. The supporting character had little impact on the story; he's just some school bully whose main goal is to separate the main couple. Yet his role was meaningful when he decided to accompany Do Hoe as a friend and had some emotional lines, which created complicated relationships between characters. Their dynamic characteristics also add to the diversity of the story. The whole plot was generally a bittersweet story, with some kind of emotional roller coaster.
- The acting was speechless??? I was gobsmacked to know this was Lee Sun's first acting role since he did so well; the way he depicted an energetic, adorable and tolerant Shin Ju Young was so great. Considering Nu Rim's part, this boy really immersed himself in Lee Do Hoe, and he was the real-life Lee Do Hoe. Their facial expressions, chemistry, everything was perfect. The maximum score for this was 10, but their acting deserved 1000/10. The realistic description of each character combined with their impeccable acting really took my breath away.
- I usually don't care about drama music, OST or such and such, but some pieces of music in certain scenes are appropriate enough to create intense emotions.
- Overall, my all-time favourite thing about this drama is how it literally depicted something so realistic and "life-friendly", not something flashy like the story of a CEO or someone who has a big impact on the world. They are just normal people with not much in life, but they are willing to partner and stay by each other's side. The last sentence is just for fun, but I still mention, "If this couple breaks up, I'm not believing in love anymore."
