If I had to say something straightway after finishing this drama, I would say I regret watching it so quickly. I wish I took my time slowly and digested the show slowly. This might be the first show I’ve watched to where I cried at the end in happiness and also sadness at the same time because I won’t be able to watch this drama anymore. I want to say I wish it had more episodes but that’s just my selfish greed, this show having 12 episode were just perfect in my opinion. From the end of episode 2 when Ji Soo died, from that moment on I knew I had to write a review for this show when I finish it.
First off I want to talk about the overall genre and message the show conveys. It’s basically a show of healing and development by meeting new people and forming new bonds. The relationship between Ha Won and Seo Woo was so therapeutic to watch as they grew closer together gradually and didn’t rush anything, also their chemistry were just perfect. This drama only had a few characters so there were a lot of scenes for Ha Won and Seo Woo and that worked in the shows favour as it doesn’t delve into pointless story arcs and just focuses on its main characters.
With Ha Won Jung Hae In never disappoints, I’ve watched many of his dramas and I honestly love all his roles at this point. Ha Won as a character was very pitiful at first since he was in pain a lot and didn’t in particularly have anyone there for him since Ji Soo didn’t reciprocate his feelings back and also wouldn’t talk to him due to her guilt. When Ha Won meets Seo Woo his whole world changed you could say, his slow developing relationship with her saved him and healed his wounds per say. Ha Won as a character, we didn’t really see him cry that much, I probably cried more than him watching the drama. When Ji Soo died he didn’t even have a massive cry until a lot later down the line in which just shows that as a person he likes to suppress himself and act strong.
Chae Soo Bin did just perfect with Seo Woo, I really like the way they portrayed her throughout the show. She was the opposite of Ha Won in the fact that she is so open about her feelings and tells them straight out. There was honestly not a time to where I didn’t not like a decision she made in the show. Just like Ha Won, she was hurting from her past trauma because of the fire that killed her parents. She was able to confront that trauma because she knew that she had someone besides her which was Ha Won and they both relied on each other a lot through out the show.
The thing I liked the best about this show was honestly the relationship between Ha Won and Seo Woo. The way they slowly began to like each other and became each other’s bandage was amazing to watch. Out of all the melodramas I have watched I liked this couple the best when it comes to the theme of healing and self worth. You could see how much they loved each other just from how affectionate they were, they didn’t need to kiss all the time like in some other dramas. In this one all they needed was to be in each other’s presence and support each other when they needed it.
The device that Ha Won made actually has quite a lot of meaning to it once you realise what the response feature it. The way to get it to have a response feature was to say the thing in which saved that person from their rock bottom. With Ha Won, it was thunder because every time it would be thunder and lightning his mum would play the piano to calm him down and that’s what saved him. For Ji Soo it was the fact of a one sided love, In Wook’s one sided love saved her. With Seo Woo it was Mr.Dawn which was Ha Woo, they first met without knowing that Ha Woo was Ha Woo. She simply knew him as Mr.Dawn and his presence saved him and once Mr.Dawn become Ha Won, they’re relationship started there.
The OST in this drama was pretty standard like nothing stood out but they were good enough to create an atmosphere in scenes enough to make me cry. Honestly when Ji Soo died, it broke my heart because I honestly supported Ji Soo and Ha Won but it was the wrong choice after seeing the whole story and knowing who’s best for who.
If you looking for a drama about healing and character development this show is for you. I’m saying this right now but I will 100% rewatch this show one day because I simply found it a pleasure to watch and I want to see more scenes between Ha Won and Seo Woo so I will deeply miss this drama.
