A depressing and pathetic waste of time
Another slow drama with young people suffering trauma. Ha Ran (FL) from loosing both parents and Chan (ML) from loosing his mum and having an overbearing father.
On top of that we have a case of amnesia, hidden identity, misunderstandings, self loathing and self flagellation (metaphorical) and so so many tears - so many cliches and so oh hum. Can’t writers come up with something different?
FL so narrow minded as if she is the only one in the world suffering. She knows that the ML has experienced trauma and the physical and mental damage that is ongoing but ignores it because of her victim mentality and needs and unyielding standards are all that matter- all the supposed growth in character was just a facade. Being open to forgiveness, even of one’s self, is not big in Korean dramas.
The second couple (younger sister ) and Mr Yeon were a better couple and she was the better female in love much more understanding, happy and mature despite her youth and impetuous behaviour.
It was obvious that the boy Han Ra thought she fell in love with (what a joke! She had just strung him along as she was more focused on her own interests ) was loosing interest. No intrigue it was so obvious. All very sad.
The show was so depressing and struggled to watch especially at the beginning. It had repeated flash back memories that just kept piling up and dragging it out. Why do I allow myself to be dragged into these quagmires?
Doesn’t anyone in Korea want happy, normal and real grown up relationships? Can Korean drama not come up with a formula that gives characters real opportunities to grow create sustaining relationships through shared goals, achievements and actions?
