I’m going to start off by saying that, I started this show like maybe in 2022 and then dropped it for a year- and then I realised I stopped it at like episode 13 and I was soooo close to finishing it, so I started it up again. Half of stuff that happened in the show I forgot already BUT, I really don’t understand why I dropped it when the show is actually really good?

I think once the story went from North to South, it did get a little boring and it seemed like the story kept circling around the same problem- which is the brother wanting to kill Se-ri and the forbidden love between her and the North Korean guy. (Forgot his name sorry ?) But after finishing this K-Drama, I really regret dropping it mid ending, I feel like it would’ve been much more impactful and also, despite the fact that I forgot so many things when I started it again- I still cried so much ?!? ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT GUY DIED! I’m not going to reveal who (although I also forgot his name so…?) but I was so upset, literally what was the reason!!! Such a stupid and unnecessary thing honestly, that’s probably the only thing I disliked about the show- other than the fact that some things were a little dragged out.

Anyway I found out the main characters actually got married in real life and have a kid? Which makes so much sense because their chemistry was definitely chemistry-ing, such a beautiful couple!

Alright so, what I took from this is that- the show isn’t bad at all, it has a good plot and you know whats happening. I think the reason I got bored with it was because this story does really focus a lot more on the romantic aspect of the show- basically the love between Se-ri and the North Korean, and although of course there IS action BUT it is not as nearly a reoccurring thing like romance is. So much cheesiness, not just between the main characters but side characters as well.

So if you’re in a mood for a cheesy romance story which gives it a little spice because it’s forbidden…this K-Drama is for you!
