Drama about self-care & personal growth
This drama is everything I wanted and more. I started this drama because I wanted a feel-good. It has given me so much more!
« You just focus on what’s in front of you and do things step by step »
In this drama, romance is not the primary theme. Yes, we know it is present, but the focus is more on the characters' personal growth.
The hero is not talking much at first, but slowly, he opens up to our heroine. We could say that he is a damaged hero because of his dysfunctional family, he never had the opportunity to do what he wants with his life and was a puppet for his father’s political career. Despite his hardships in the past, the hero remains a pure and humble soul. He does not hesitate to ask questions and to look for information when he does not know something.
Personal growth : The heroine asks the hero reflective questions. He thinks about them and looks for answers in the course of the story. He learns little by little to love himself and to put himself first in his life
Romance : Communication & great chemistry of our main couple, slow burn
I particularly liked that the second couple was different from usual. The chaebol girl is not insufferable like in many other dramas.
This is not a usual drama : new twists and unexpected turns. I love it. When watching a drama, I enjoy stereotypes, but also being surprised. Here, I was surprised more than once.
OST: good.
Major Themes:
- self love, self discovery, fighting for what you want, ‘adulthood crisis’, personal growth
- trust, social awkwardness, adapt & overcome,
- violence in sports, bullying,
- dysfunctional family
Minor Themes: sexual orientation, bribery, orphans
