At first, this drama does not catch my attention, it seems like just a usual drama with boring characters, but during quarantine, I was so bored and trying to find something to watch and I finally binge-watch this in 5 days. The only thing I regret is why I slept on this drama for too long (I usually watch ongoing dramas).
This drama is definitely refreshing. The character is not the usual damsel in distress female lead, handsome-but-cold CEO, and so on. The character is realistic and well-grounded, we can find a single mom who was struggling to make ends meet while the society criticized her, a country bumpkin police officer with childlike attitude, even a group of ahjummas who spend their time gossiping but yet caring and helpful anywhere. (Well, the joker storyline is not that realistic but it spices up the drama so why not). I laughed, I cried, being on fire, angry, hurt together with them. This is definitely climbing up to my most favorite drama list of the year!
Nonetheless, the one actor that impressed me the most is definitely kang ha-neul. I watched him on Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, but it was not that memorable to me, he was fine but that's just about all. But in WTCB, Yong Sik stole my heart to bits, the character is so well written (and so non-existent). He is not a perfect character, but how Yong Sik treats Dong Baek amazes me. He never bothered with the fact that Dong Baek was never married and has a child, but continually supports Dong Baek and boosts her confidence. Whenever Dong Baek pushes him away because of her own insecurities, he never backs down and always pushes her out of her insecurities and indecisiveness. However, when it is time for him to stop holding on to her for her sake, he is willing to do it without keeping his ego and desires. The relationship was very raw and honest. Yong sik is such a refreshing and well-written character and I can't imagine anyone else playing Yong sik but Ha-neul. He made the character his own.
There is no need to talk about how great Gong Hyo-jin is. She is definitely one of the best actresses in this era, she delivers any character given to her exceptionally.
I believe this drama is super well written, well-acted, very interesting, and does not have a dull moment. I love this drama so much, I will definitely go back and rewatch WTCB.
