Amazingly thought provoking series, though very much old school J drama style
(I don’t normally write reviews, usually just comments, so forgive me if this review isn’t good. SPOILER FREE)
I started this drama while it was airing in 2019 & watched all the way until episode 9 but got too busy & forgot to come back to the last episode. It’s been 7 years but I finally came back to finish it since it got put onto Netflix in the US.
Yes, it’s got some pretty heavy cheesy moments & probably even seen as cringey. The style is very much old school J dramas (even though it’s not from all that long ago). However, the message of the series is really good & very thought provoking. I won’t spoil it, but there are so many lessons taught throughout this series. Things like truly believing yourself, asking for help when you need it, don’t judge others so easily, help those around you, don’t blame yourself for things you have no control over, don’t follow the herd, be there for those you care about before it’s too late., & many more. However, the last episode really ties together the real message of the whole series; think before you speak/act. You never know how your words or actions can affect others.
I’d definitely recommend this series, though if you’re not used to old school J drama cheesiness, it may take a bit to get through some parts, but nonetheless, I’d still rate it a 9.5/10.
