A drama for the mature audience

I started this drama with low expectations, after reading other people comments. But when it was supposed to get boring, it never was. It is slow paced, but it has a lot of depths and food for thought.

But, as I said, this is a drama for the mature viewers. The biggest hint to that, lays in the title. This is a story for those closing in on that middle age stage in life, when things slowly are getting more often too late.. If you are 18 and have 20+ year before you hit forty, this story will be boring.

I have just turned 45. I recognise so much in this drama, except from loosing someone close. But the odds are getting higher, and one day I might loose someone too. And many times I have realised that things are getting too late in life...

In my eyes, this drama was very emotional and interesting. I felt I needed to tell people of my experience, as a contrast to everyone that found it boring.

We should maybe rethink the synopsis?

As many others, I have had a lot of opinions about this drama. From telling a friend that I will slap someone if she doesn’t end up with Joo Hyeon, to ending up seeing the drama from a completely different angle in the end.

We often think of this scenario: She meets two guys. But I have chosen to flip it around. Two guys meet Eun Ho/Hyeri, and we learn about their growth because of her.

Many are talking about Hyun Oh being a red flag. I don’t really think so. He is a good guy, that have taken some really bad choices because of his past. Because, let’s face it: Good people sometimes make shitty decisions and discovers too late that it was wrong. The difference between good people making bad choices vs red flags, are the ability to learn from it and grow as a human.

If we look at Joo Hyeon, he was perfect with Hyeri. I don’t think he would be a good match for Eun Ho. So it was heartbreaking when Hyeri disappeared. But he also changed himself, and there is absolutely happiness for him in the future now that his heart has been opened and healed from his past.

And then we have Eun Ho that couldn’t let go. Firstly, she worked with her ex every day. That makes things more difficult. And they had eight years together, and in a way it felt like their connection was strong. It’s like she breathes Hyun Oh. He is the only one for her. And in all her quirkiness, he is a good fit. Not to forget, the topic in the end: Good and bad break up. The sudden break up, did not give her closure at all. And relationships often take so much longer to heal. So when he came back, she didn’t have the strength to say no. And in the end, that was probably the best choice for her.

But is the story itself perfect? No. It had a bit of a weird flow. A little bit of rewriting here and there, would’ve helped. Her DID didn’t feel completely convincing. And even though I loved Kang Hoon’s character, he wasn’t really necessary for this story to be told. I think most of us got a bit sidetracked buy Ju Hyeon and Hyeri, and wanted that love story to be told, and missing Hyun Oh’s part of the story. I could mention more details, but I think I’ll stop here. I have said the most important things I wanted to say.

This stort is okay with only the main characters in focus

We’re to start. For me it became too much noise, too many comical characters and really unbelievable side stories and dramas.

I liked Sky and Ace. Their chemistry and acting was the only thing that kept me from dropping this show. And that Moira debacle and how it was resolved? Please, this ruined a lot for me.

I think this story has so much more potential. With create cast in main characters, friends and Sky’s family, this story could easily been told with only that. Throughout all the episodes, I started out with only two stars, worked myself up to five, could have gone to a 6,5 without a certain forgiving scene, but thanks to that I ended up with four stars.
