A heart-wrenching romance that feels like home
And this is why an us-against-the-world couple dynamic is my ABSOLUTE favorite and it’s absolutely criminal that there aren't more of them in dramas.
The relationship between the leads was the highlight of this show, from the chemistry to the way they went from not getting along to being each other’s safe space was such a beautiful journey. There’s that one big thing that splits them apart obviously, but other than that it was SOO refreshing and beautiful to see such great communication and comfort in their relationship, even at their lowest points, and the main relationship conflict being how self-sacrificial the ML’s love for the FL is is so much more interesting than miscommunications that dramas usually go for, and again it’s so refreshing that the FL is smart, capable, and extremely aware of what’s going on.
In terms of the overall plot with the audit company and all the fighting, it’s dramatic but I actually really enjoyed it and how much tension it inserted into the plot. I liked how intense the stakes were — amplified by the amazing OST — although I admit I didn’t always fully understand what was going on with the audit and sometimes it wasn’t really clear what the plan was.
The biggest complaint I probably have (and I think it’s a common one) is episode 11, where the separation happens. Even though the gaps are filled in later with flashbacks, the way the actual episode was edited felt really off and I was thinking we’d get a few more episodes before the time skip happened. Once the drama settles back into the present timeline though, it becomes really solid again.
I also really liked the side characters; they had their roles to play and their stories to tell, it was sweet and added to the show, and they never overstayed their welcome.
Overall, LOVED this show and the experience of watching it. I have some criticisms when I'm thinking objectively, but this really hit the spot. I need more ships like them.
