"In 1987, Im Soo Ho and Eun Young Cho are students at a prestigious university in Seoul." So this is going to be an university romance...
I don't think we have North and South Korea like CLOY cuz only the adaptation part of the plot says "Adapted from the handwritten notes of a man who escaped from a political prison camp in North Korea" while the actual plot is about university students as leads and the ML who lived in Germany. Maybe we might get Jung hae in speak in German like Song Joong Ki speaking Italian :))
I agree with you tho. Even if many people like it, I just couldn't feel attached to it or like it even if I forced myself. In my opinion, this was the worst drama I've seen in 2020 (I saw like 50 dramas last year...)
I can't remember a single drama I've watched that isn't romance or rom-com. I always ask if the ending is happy and if it's not, I'd skip. if I really want to watch a drama with "sad ending", I like to be mentally prepared but as you've stated, "sad ending" according to some have actually been happy endings for me. I think it depends on the viewers to decide it themselves because there are so many people who discover dramas everyday, each with their own tastes. Loved your article!
