What can I say about this drama. It's amazing from every side that you see it. I've cried so much almost in every ep. The feelings of each story were expressed were so loud (a big thanks to all actors for that). Their love made me shutter each time. Perhaps it is bc of some personal experience that got me affected even more. I tried everytime to focus on the series and stop recalling my past. So let's start from somewhere.

What in the Voldemort type obsession was that of Bang Eun Joo with Sam-dal? What kind of person acts so slyly. In the end the truth comes to surface. Dishonest ppl lose their power. Especially when you base your whole life/career on the achievements/ideas of someone else. So toxic to try to manipulate ppls feelings for your success.

Main characters love story is amazing. The detail with the red string theory melted me. Their feelings never shut down for each other. The respect they showed for each others family had me speechless. They put aside their relationship to keep their parents happy. Even if they were hurting every single moment. And they showed with all means that it wasn't just a teenage love. It was their whole life. They were meant to be together and that's it. They faced way to many unfortunate levels, but in the end their love helped them surpass all of them. I'm jealous of their love. I'm jealous of the way they look each other or how considerate they are. Even after years they still know the other person better than their own self and that's true love, that's caring.

The mothers story is heartbreaking. Their bond was so special and Sam-dals mother will never forgive herself till the day she dies. The pain and memory will hunt her forever and won't let her feel in peace. The guilt can't be overwatched. She'll be her forever platonic other half. The consistent hate of Yong-pils father towards Ms. Ko hides to much depression bc he never found the way to move on. The moment he finally accepted the past and made peace with Sam-dals family showed that deep down his hate wasn't in reality hate but pain.

The big 5 friendship is also so strong. They all protect each other, protecting a little more their only female friend of the group like shes their princess. Even though they haven't been in touch for years, they acted like not even a day has passed since they last spoken. And that's true friendship.

Lastly, the small somehow village society reminds me of my own neighborhood and village. Everyone knows everything. Even if you tried to hide, you can't bc there are eyes everywhere. The rumors and news spread quickly. The only way to escape this circle is for you to abandon this place and move out. Like the characters tried to do to persuade their dreams. Not everyone succeeds, but not everyone fails. Some will come back, some will continue their lives somewhere else but that doesn't change the fact that this place will be their forever home (if their lives there were good and not full of drama and toxicity).
