THE GOAT OF FEEL GOOD DRAMAS
I don't know where to start; there are absolutely so many things I love about this little piece of warmth!
First of all, the story was so perfect. The character build-up was really good, giving both the side and main characters depth and a connection to the audience; and the long history between all the characters added depth to the story and made it more meaningful. There was an impeccable balance between humour and emotional sensitivity in the storyline. The dynamic between the main leads and their respective background stories was well explored, and their dynamic complements the vibe of the drama. I really appreciate how they dealt with the female lead's past. Furthermore, at the end, all the various issues in each family and among the side characters were smoothly wrapped up, and the conflicts were resolved with good reasoning. I loved how they kept the story light-hearted despite dealing with real-life problems that were quite deep and scarred.
The message of the story was nice: how people can still navigate and rediscover their passion even in their thirties and how long-term family issues can be resolved. It deals with old age and retirement as well as losing your loved ones. The financial condition of the characters was realistic and not over the top. It deals with a neighbourhood story, and the whole drama feels like a warm memory from childhood.
The acting was perfect, and I think the cast was well-picked, especially the main leads. Their chemistry was UNMATCHED, I tell you! It genuinely felt like they were a real couple. Although I do think the female lead's development of feelings was a bit rushed and more subtle foreshadowing; scenes of the male lead pursuing would have made it more perfect. I don't think the male lead's depth of feelings was exactly matched by the female lead's. However, they complemented each other so so well, I genuinely hope they're recast together again. I think it was a realistic portrayal of romance in your thirties.
Overall, I think this is a very heartwarming and comforting drama, the kind you would watch on a rainy day with some ice cream. It's very heartwarming and has everything you may look for in a drama: story-building, comedy, drama, romance and still relatable to real life. The only thing I really hoped was that they would show scenes from their marriage so that I could get a more complete closure, but the ending is pretty good as it is.
