The Perfect Drama. Timeless like it was made yesterday.
This show is clearly the greatest ever do it. Everyone showed up to set firing on all cylinders. They were in the studio recording that OST locked in, handled. Only the baddest on the floor. God was in the writer’s room that year. There hasn’t been anything to even tilt the crown. Dramas TO THIS DAY bend their knee to the queen. I’m so serious about this drama they could put my name in the credits. Feel free to send complaints to me directly. This is now OUR drama.
What makes a contemporary drama beautiful is leaning in to life and what makes life beautiful. Life is already hard and crazy enough just follow it. They didn’t have to exaggerate Samsoon’s characteristic, they just honored it. This show thrives because of his dedication to the characters. She gets to be silly like a person in love, but not clumsy as a character trait. She’s talented in what she does not because she’s born with it but because she works at it and is passionate about it. She gets to be magnetic without being mystical so when she has these moments of insecurity or doubt it doesn’t feel misplaced. She’s dreamy but is not ditzy. She doesn’t get hardened by her experiences in love. She remains hopeful. She’s just a girl and she’s MY girl. Watching this show is like watching your best friend fall in love with a guy you love to hate. At the end of the day she is a Cancer stuck in a situationship with a Virgo coming hot off the heels of a three year relationship with a commitmentphobic Leo. She’s doing the best she can with what she got.
Even though this show has some crazy #prettygirlpunishment the love triangle was so natural. Dr. HIPAA violator definitely had the right idea but he couldn’t communicate that to anybody, not that they would listen. Still, you watch them all learn that same lesson. I like to think of the famous Langston Hughes poem “Harlem”, what happens to a dream deferred? They clearly evolved and went through their lowest point in life without each other. However, they just needed a minute to explore what could’ve been to understand that it will never be. I hate when people complain about how his character just sits there pretty and silent, but he’s just as crazy as hee jin. He is sticking beside the person he loves just like her. He knows they’re on borrowed time. So when it all fell apart, which it inevitably did, she didn’t have to go through it alone. That’s why they’re so compatible.
I watch it every year like a Peanuts’ Christmas. In my living room on the TV December 24th, I am sat like clockwork. (And maybe twice or three more times throughout the year.)
