A drama past the happy endings

Our Blues is a nuanced drama that shows the nitty-gritty of humanity. The drama discusses various relationships, mother-son, friendships, siblings and lovers. The show does not make anyone the typical hero/heroine who is perfect but rather shows how good people can make bad decisions.
This show discusses themes I have not seen explored in previous dramas, such as teenage pregnancy, Down Syndrome, depression, suicide and domestic violence experienced by a husband. Our Blues is the best title for every character who experiences the blues of life. This isn't the drama to escape the dreariness of your life but the drama to watch to understand the complexity of humans. This is a drama filled with misunderstandings and conflict and love and joy. The contrast between the heavy storylines and the beauty of Jeju, which outwardly seems perfect and blissful, makes for enjoyable viewing.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that the casting for this drama is perfect, every character is brought to life, and I enjoy seeing Shin Min Ah play a role I have not seen her before.

Although this drama is not perfect, and it is nothing like Noh Hee Kyung's previous works, I encourage everyone to watch this drama in a way I feel like we can all learn something.
