Love in Sadness (2019)

Love in Sadness is one of those dramas that will lure you in making you want more and more as you get deeper into the story. Throughout the entire 40 episodes many different topics are hit including deep ones like obsessiveness, abuse, cheating & heartbreak. The main character Ma Ri is shown throughout the series as a weak woman but throughout the story she learns how to deal with everything causing her to evolve into a strong woman that her friends wanted her to be. Her husband Kang In Wook although a little psychotic/obsessive you will in the end start too feel some sympathy ( just a tad & the ending will hit you hard) after you learn his backstory of why he is like this. The surgeon's Seo Jung Won was a wonderful addition too since he brings out the best in Ma Ri and will do anything for her. You will learn to hate some of the side characters in this story due to their actions and in the end I still don't understand why some of them did what they did to the others but it happens in plots like this. The acting in this was amazing especially Ryu Soo Young's he did a great job portraying Ma Ri's husband and his obsessiveness. The music was okay at certain parts it didn't really resonate with me since I was more interested in the story. There is a slight rewatch value to this drama due to the emotional value but once you watch it you'll know everything that already happens so it wont be as strong.

What you need to know is, that the two other reviews (as of 06.12.2019, mmddyy.) both have great points, and I agree with them both. However, I do still think slightly different, because I was completely in love with this drama.

Story: The plot is simple, and has some of the stereotypes. But, it's done so well! You will be completely captivated by the story of the main characters, and having the whole plot being mainly just about the main leads, and still keep you entertained, kudos! I watched all 40 episodes in three days, and I was at the moment in the middle of my exams. That means, over 5 hours a day when I am preparing for my exams, and I care! I just became some captivated by the story, I could bearly take a break.

Acting/Cast: The casting for this drama was well done, I am personally not well acquainted with the main actors of this story, but they did a fantastic job. And the acting, with very few exceptions, was superb and outstanding. The cast really did make you feel everything you were supposed to.

Music: The music was well picked for giving the right vibe to the drama, and scenes as well. And I would actually listen to it from time to time. That's quality!

Rewatch: I think this would be a great rewatch when I want to watch something a little gloomy and poetic again.

All in all: A great, and entertaining drama, that will captivate both your eyes and heart. Sincerely #7.
