nooo omg i dont want it to end!!! i love how they gave the drama a more satisfying ending compared to the anime. a little sad we didnt get to see the fireworks unheard confession scene from the anime bc that was one of the most notable moments for me!! but still cute nonetheless. i wish ziyu got his loveline though with yeqi's brother
every elder sibling should watch this drama because when the parents came to visit i felt so much pain for motoi as if i was actually him, i feel like every elder sibling has gone through some kind of similar situation where they realize their younger siblings get the "better" version of their parents ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ so sad especially because motoi had to sacrifice so much due to something he couldn't even control. instead of living with his parents, he chose to become a guiding light for future tengu children so they wont struggle like he once did
this drama and second shot at love both give such old kdrama vibes, both dropping on the same day made me feel like i teleported back to 2018-2020 kdrama era lol!!! so nostalgic, i'm a fan. if only this was 16 eps, would've been the icing on the cake
the thing i liked about myung soohyun dramas is that in most of her dramas (monthly magazine home, drinking solo, a poem a day) there would a slice of life component with a central "theme" to each episode, usually driven by not just the story of the main leads but also the stories of the side characters. it added a poetic element to each episode, something to tie up the message that we all go through similar struggles, whether that be in terms of finding a home (MMH), finding a reason to relish in aloneness (DS), or finding art that reflects your feelings (APAD).
interestingly, i don't immediately see this particular component in Extremely Sensible Alcoholic. this drama also stands out because MSH doesn't usually write second-chance romance or childhood/high school connection, so it seems she is taking a new approach to her writing. even though there are some differences, I can still feel the heavy slice of life component that this drama will be driven on, there are many side characters that will definitely push the story forward, similar to the stories of the villagers in hometown cha cha cha.
I am enjoying it so far, because it's fresh but also seems familiar since I'm such a big fan of this screenwriter. I am looking forward to a wonderful healing journey between the leads filled with warming stories of our side characters and familial themes. hopefully we can also get a ha seok jin cameo lol, this drama is quite the antithesis to drinking solo.
