An amazingly complex exploration of human emotions
I’d like to compare this drama to a book that should’t be judged by the cover of its plot summary and promotional posters. Despite its premise that sounds like your typical bubblegum-sweet romantic comedy, I would say this is one of the most intelligently-written, insightfully-packed Kdrama of such genre I have ever seen so far. The stories of each character are quite ordinary but I did not expect so many intricacies that would come out of them. I loved their depiction of how people strived to sew together their ideals and with their realities, and eventually come to terms with the resulting epiphanies. Everything was about the rawness of emotions, perspectives, opinions and pure desires of the heart. There were no exaggerated cruelties or devious conspiracies, just plain human issues and challenges. I guess this is targeted towards a more mature audience, and if you are an adult you can’t help but be able to identify with a character or two at some point. I didn’t give it a perfect rating because even with the extremely rich dialogue there were some parts where I felt it was already way too complicated and overly-thought so it no longer made sense, plus the two lead actors lacked just a teeeny bit of chemistry points. But overall, it was a great experience, I learned so many lessons and it made me rethink some of my own life principles.
