"The Catcher in the Rye" is a story by J. D. Salinger. It was originally published for adults but has become popular among adolescent readers for its themes of angst and alienation, and as a critique on superficiality in society. The novel's protagonist Holden Caulfield has become an icon for teenage rebellion. The novel also deals with complex issues of innocence, identity, belonging, loss, and connection.
After watching the first 2 episodes, I dropped it. When the main lead choose to save his career by sentencing an innocent man (with a family) to prison for murder, I knew I wouldn't find this drama rewarding.
I am a huge fan of the movie "The Beauty Inside" and I was very happy to find a drama adaptation with more depth and humor. I can understand why it might have been boring towards the end, but to me it felt like saying goodbye to a child I raised.
The plot, the side-plots (including the high-school girl, the grieving mother, Se Gye's mother) and the script were all well-written. The interactions between the main couple was always interesting. The family meetings were so much fun, especially Do Jae's relationship with his sister. The performance of all the characters was so natural and refreshing.
♥: Lee Min Ki is an actor that always amaze me with his roles. He is an awkward person but he still manage to perfect everything he portrays. That scene in the car with the old man must have been very difficult to do, because it could have been seen as a comedy act without the right emotions and word expressions. I was in awe of how moved I was.
I just can't bring myself to watch the last episodes lol
Just do it :) It makes everything complete and each part will explain HyeJa's fuzzy memories (what really happened and what didn't). You will be "Ah!! That's why that happened!!!" hehe

I decided to watch this because I'm a fan of Nam Da Reum so I hope we get to see more of him soon.
This is driving me crazy! I really hope MinGyu doesn't lose Jian *heart-broken* ♥

Basically the drama is not a love story. So it is not a matter of happy or sad. However, the end was satisfying in my opinion.
