Like A Phoenix which has come to birth again from its ashes

Yoo In Na's character at first was a little immature or let's say not considerate. She analyzed things which I liked but analyzed it too much, and made a relationship between a couple less human, it was frustrating but character development would come, so let's wait.
And it did, those conversations between Bo Ra and Si Hyeok, about love, life, if the drama would have been only that, I would have been okay too.
The drama tried to be realistic and shared some of our parts that we can be ashamed of. She wanted her three years with her now ex boyfriend to be worth of it, and we've been through five episodes of breakup. It was maybe heavy, but she was so human and there was So Hyeok so who likes a damsel in destress little trop was well served, they were cute, and she let her ex love life go for no return(in her heart not our screen though).
Su Hyeok, aaah, I've thought, with Bo Ra, it'll be different, he'll swallow that pride and tell her, eeeuh no, he made her wait, he made us wait, I was going to be mad at him, I understand you can't change that easily, but you can't cross a certain in the patience limit, but then the drama made it well, that book having an open ending made Bo Ra an even more likable character, she knows what she wants, fights for it, but accepts defeat and that's not the end of a life.
His confession, I've never seen something, that honest, that real, that hilarious, that touching.
It reminded me of the garbage scene, that will become iconic hhhh you know when it seems to become pathetic or sad, writers turn it into a hilarious scene that you're just enjoying.
You Jeong and her husband, maybe I didn't see enough dramas with that trope, but seeing a married couple having this kind of problem and I thought they will divorce, and so glad, they knew how to deal with it, all this drama felt real, mature, warm, healing.
It was Bo Ra born from Deborah, she was the drama, a not perfect drama but a different and cozy one.
