Lacking

I loved this series—warm, tender, deep love story. Lacked to show intimacy though considering the length of time the lead guy has loved her - 20 years. They live together too so they should have had more intimate scenes like passionate kissing at least. And it doesn’t have to look distasteful. Secretary Kim’s bed scene was artfully not lustfully executed. The fact that this was lacking in this series, diluted the love story for me. It just does not make sense to not show an intimate, passionate scene given the circumstances: his enduring love through all the years and them cohabitating now. It’s just unrealistic that nothing physically passionate is shown. And it didn't explain why he didn't know that she has fallen on hard times for a whole year without him knowing, given the fact that he always drives to her house when he gets drunk. He didn't get drunk for a whole year I guess (???!!!) But they didn’t meet for lunch, even once, in that one year after her divorce? That’s odd considering how deep their friendship is. Hmmmm.

Worth the investment of your time.

This was was such a beautiful love story. So pure, so enduring. His love for her was aged to perfection like wine. He watched and kept her close for 9 years. Their dating life was laid out realistically because they had an intimate scene that artistically showed the culmination of his years of longing and loving her. It’s more mature, more realistic than most kdrama love stories where they don’t show bed scenes (Romance is a Bonus Book). Why??!! This is the highest form of showing ones love especially after years of just waiting for the right time. They had a very tasteful bed scene on ep 13 and 14. “If you go in my house tonight, I can’t control my pace and I won’t stop”. And she proceeded to go inside his house. And just before he proceeded with what was inevitable, he says I love you. Such a beautiful, meaningful love scene. I am not specially fond of the one night stand scenes where they enter the door and they are stripping, almost injuring themselves as they trip on furniture — that’s so unrealistic! But this bed scene was so artistically and romantically created. And the story ended in a wedding. It’s full circle and you are left feeling happy and satisfied. Such a wonderful love story. No wonder it’s still 9.8/10 from 500k reviewers on Viki. That’s why I chose to watch it.
