After a lot of tears and procrastination, I finally ended this deep, painful, but also breathtaking adult drama. If you didn't see my first impressions, go for it here: https://mydramalist.com/profile/8270201/feeds/dKJ6jFB

First of all, I have to say this is not a drama for those who seek a simple and beautiful love story. As I said, this drama has an intense plot that makes you think a lot about expectations, bonds, and what is love indeed. We have the main plot, which is pretty good, but what brought me down was the side stories, which also have the same intent to show love in different ways. I'll emphasize here the plot of Jeon Mi Suk (Park Hyo Joo) and Kwak Soo Ho (Yoon Na Moo), with a story that starts with no pretensions but catch us in the process and was responsible for all my tears in the end. The way how these two interact and grow each episode is just impressive. The parents of Young Eun (Song Hye Kye[o) were also an enormous surprise for me. I could feel the despair of Kang Jung Ja (Nam Ki Ae) and the way how this mixed up with the story of her daughter was very emotional. Seok Do Hoon (Kim Joo Heon) and Hwang Chi Sook (Choi Hee Seo) were a big promise, but their story was pretty affected by the low point that I'll mention in a minute.

The main couple has chemistry, but not so much as I expected. Jang Ki Yong is very expressive and I think this was a big contrast with the limited expressions of Hye Kyo. I said I don't like her acting, and here I could see for sure why. This doesn't ruin the entire connection but is a big problem if you wanna finish the drama soon. I paused because there weren't any new episodes, and this made me discourage a little bit. Another low point was the script. I didn't understand some lines and had the feeling that they wanted so badly to make a poetic and deep script that they lose a hand in the process, making things confusing sometimes. In my opinion, Chi Sook and Do Hoon were the most affected by this. I had to come back in a few scenes to understand the decisions and scenes of these two many times because didn't make sense. Which was a shame because these two were so cute together!

I'll give a "good one" place for it (★★★★★★★) because I really think this is a drama that talks about love with reality and beauty, without limitate choices or absurd deliveries of who you are just because you are in love. Is an adult drama that will teach you a couple of lessons, maybe not with so much fun, but developing a lot of deep thoughts.

See you soon!
XOXO, Mari.
