This is a gem and I keep telling myself I’m going to wait until it’s over and watch them all at once - but I can’t!
We begin with our two main leads that we aren’t supposed to like very much, and we don’t…even those of us who have seen the Korean version over and over.
Because the main leads are that good at moving is from an idealized love (that we to often see in drama’s) to what looks like ‘real love’, to the place we are by episode 16 - love is made up of all the little things we forget - but are actually glue that keeps us together.
We also see this same approach to what an I tomate relationship looks like play out in the friendships and how they’re diff between the two doctors and the main leads best friend (who is the doctor) and her ex.
I’m so impressed with JW’s acting and range - I’ve not seen her do this depth of feeling and am so here for it.
The male lead is also doing an amazing job - they seem more comfortable with each other than JW and the actual boyfriend - as they should since the female lead closed her heart.
I’m eighteen episodes in, but 15 & 16 tho…whew are breaking my heart!
The scenic visuals, music, supporting cast, and the leads monologues, all work in concert to bring us into this beautiful story and I’m so here for it.
Will update when it’s completed and I’m a tad less in my fee fees?
