If the sky and the ground got in my way, I will destroy them all.
InnOngsa. I was honestly surprised by this tandem. Starting with their chemistry, should I even question it? Of course not. 😭
Acting-wise, from the main roles to the supporting cast, everyone ate. Ongsa is such a good and pretty crier, but Inn? That man can ACT. You can see the yearning in their eyes, but in completely different ways. One shows it through sadness, while the other shows it through anger and eagerness. And somehow, both hit just as hard.
Story-wise, it was such a great ride. This series gave me the kind of love and yearning I was looking for. The NC scenes were shot beautifully, with so much passion, but what impressed me more was how they managed to show all of that without compromising the historical revolution storyline. Everyone was fighting for what they believed was right until the very end.
Angst, you said? Here you go. 😭 Is there even an episode where they were simply happy without having to fight to hold on to the love between them? And the script? Breathtaking. My favorite line has to be: "If the sky and the ground got in my way, I will destroy them all."
You can never make me hate Phob. Love doesn't just revolve around romance. How can I hate someone for trying to change what he believes is wrong with his country? And when he betrayed Thin, it wasn't just Thin who suffered. Phob suffered too, probably the most, because he had to hurt the person he loved most. 😭😭😭
But what I loved most was that they didn't simply run back into each other's arms. We knew they still loved each other despite everything that happened, but it took so many episodes before they finally found their way back to each other. And that made their reunion feel so much more deserved.
One of my favorite parts was after the system changed, when Phob started questioning whether he had supported the right thing because all he could see were the consequences of those changes. Meanwhile, Thin, despite being one of the people most affected by them, was able to see the good that came from it. I loved that contrast because it showed that neither of them had a completely simple answer.
Overall, this was such a great ride. Definitely one I’m going to recommend to everyone.
Isn't it obvious from how LONG this review is? LOL. 😭
