Masterpiece

This is so heartbreaking. "Don't we all have the burden we created, and have to struggle with?" This is a translated line, and I am sure the original line is likely even better. This sequel is miles better than the first season. I wonder if they always had this in mind, because it is amazing.

I think this show reflects the mood of a lot of people in late 20s, 30s that don't have the lives they planned. You spend years thinking back about the decisions you made, with regrets. I personally definitely have them.
I think all the characters are written so well. The old people with their stubbornness. How bluntly rude they are. Remind me of older people in my family. I think I have known pretty much every character in this show, personally. This is so beautifully written & directed.

This is not a traditional BL. This is why I think some people are critical. It is honestly like one of those movies that have had so much heart put into them. But that don't make for a lighthearted viewing. I personally cannot think of any way this could be improved, it is too perfect. The portrayal of mental health issues is also so well done. You really cannot tell what is going on in somebody's life. The lighting, the way they speak, subtle references. Everything is so beautifully done. Gosh. I am sure at least some people involved in this have suffered depression at some point. If not, the empathy is amazing. I think a lot of decisions taken by characters in this show won't make sense to some people.. But when your mind isn't in the right place, when you been hurt, you really do make stupid choices. I really love Han Yoo Ha's character & her mother. They really bring hope and positivity in the show.

This is a beautifully written story about real life. This could have been about any two people, their gender is remarkably not the main focal point. But then it is unspoken and there is the background anyway. Not to mention that this show would have been globally acclaimed if it was about a straight couple. This is so beautifully shot, and so painful at times that I have had to pause myself between episodes..
I have only finished episode 6 and have had to pause to write this review. Because I am so emotional about it.

I think this is definitely a very mature story, very well written. The cinematography, the soundtrack, the clothes, everything is perfect. You can tell the staff put their heart in it. Very well done. watch it when you have time to think about your life. Because this is definitely not binge & forget about it story. This is like a once in a lifetime show for the staff/actors. You rarely see such stuff created on TV/movies. I am so glad I live in a time where I get to watch something like this.

The performance of the actors BTW is amazing. Just watch it, you will know what I mean. Just watch it.
it gets better and more intense every episode. I have finished it now. And I am so glad i stumbled across this one. It was such an experience. The editing is absolutely amazing. I loved the finale as well. It is unbelievable that they managed a satisfactory wrap up to this. Bless these people who made this masterpiece.
