Eternal love, and how it's portrayed through its characters

This drama is not perfect but I can't help but rate it a 10. I had high expectations coming into this drama, and it didn't disappoint; when watching this drama I could easily relate to our main protagonist and the reason he fell in love with all his past lovers, I could help myself from following in love with their characters too, I understood his motive and this drama well portrays a 3 dimensional character that has flaws but those flaws don't make him insufferable. Through our the series I wonder to myself how can his life get worse and as it got worse I just couldn't stop thinking how he pitiful. I love the dynamics that all the characters showed in the show especially our main and gyu ho, and how in the last episode we get to see what happened in Bangkok and how that a big impact on our main character. The ending to me was sad but I loved it because he finally realized the meaning of love and what love is to him but in the lead up to that most of the people he grew to love had to be an example of sacrifice and that was portrayed so well. I love the drama as a stand alone I really don't want a season two because I believe it would leave the message that is being given the justice it deserves, because the protagonist story is over and he has developed through all the romances and the show.
I love how they didn't only show the romantic love of this drama but also platonic love between friend and as well as family love, this was a hard watch but not in a bad way but in a way where each scene made you want to burst into tears just hoping our main character would finally get his happy ending. The bittersweet ending that was given was so heartbreaking but so really fo many queer people, especially living in Korea at the moment.
The sound track was absolutely beautiful, and I love how they made reference to K will in the drama. Overall I would want people to watch this and create their own opinions about the ending what it ment to the viewer. This was an amazing watch and I would love to see more great works like this come from korea especially ones that are made by queer people themselves, Because this is understanding. I hope they win an award for this because you can't deny this is a huge step in the right direction for the queer community of Korea and maybe even all around Asia. So if you are conflicted if you should watch this or not please do because you surely won't regret it!!!!
