In this era where mental health takes priority, are we really interested in the
character development or lack thereof of a player and a reckless woman?
I wanted to see what the writer tried to achieve. The message is unsubtly expressed by a) the professor (It must have been tough, but it was worth it wasn't it? You've spread your wings. There's no need to overthink it. Eat what you want. Do what you want to do. Like the people you like. That's all you have to do); b) the aunt who "respects" the female lead's mother for going out with whoever because she is not afraid to "love"; and c) the development (or not) of the male lead. Bring back stoning for communicating an idea that should not be entertained for the sake of safety of women and extermination of men's impudence.
Is this the work of someone who tries to justify their past? Are they convincing themselves there is nothing to regret because it's just a part of life to have your dignity removed by yourself sometime, somewhere? Or is it the work of someone trying to appeal to the dreamers that there is such a thing as accomplishment in being 'that' person a player had [a brief] romance with?
Forcing a deep thought in an otherwise played out story, it urges one to ponder that there is not one way to live life "correctly." That would be right. Life is to be experienced. This happens, so what? That happens, so what? We grow from mistakes we only learn after they're done, BUT in the face of one that we are aware of? It's not very "so what." It defines what kind of person we want to be.
On the other side, the show can also be a reminder of the growth women have reached in their life. It's very easy to spot now danger signs and decide at once about what might have once fogged the mind.
It's not all bad.
What I like about it is that the intimate scenes are not slapped on the drama for the audience. It has just the right amount and right videography for the characters. It may be frustrating to see stupid decisions but the characters portray their roles close to reality---the woman devoid of self-respect, filling a hole that she thinks must come from being valued by a man, aware she deserves better but "what if..", the excitement of the forbidden, the inner rebel that is freed despite the pain that comes with it; the man keeping her confused, saying and doing just enough to keep her on a leash but reserving more than enough to be unreachable. The attention to details is worth a compliment. She physically shrinks in front of him, not in a play-a-character kind of way but how I have seen a manipulated person behave in the real world. The male lead shows emotion only twice in 10 episodes, faint and yet strong to move the audience. But should we believe this? Is it ground to give the person a chance for newfound sincerity? We lose one experience and that's it. I'm not too hungry for such heedless interests, but that's just me.
The OSTs had me shazaming every now and then.
I almost dropped because at least two of the side characters were painfully childish.
