Sweet Moments and Sneaky Glances
It was really sweet. I experienced intense emotions at times. I recalled the feelings I had when I first fell in love. The series is very good in terms of atmosphere and storytelling. I guess I'm getting used to watching mini-series more and more. If the episodes were longer, emotional scenes would be more extended, and there would be more events and that would be a good thing.
One of my favorite things in any romantic series is the SIDE GLANCES. It made my heart flutter. I love freezing those scenes and watching them over and over again, and I absolutely enjoy jumping in my seat.
(If you ask me, it was precisely these glances that made the series 'We Best Love: No. 1 For You' so popular.)
What slightly bothered me was Seo Jae being excessively handsome. It may not seem like a problem, but it is. When someone is too beautiful, it feels like their position and power in the relationship increase, and consequently, they should be the one who loves more. There's a sense of responsibility loaded onto them because of their beauty, creating an illusion that they can have everything in life. This, in turn, leads to wanting more responsibility placed on them since they are so beautiful, hence more powerful, as if they should bear the burden.
While watching, my focus would occasionally shift to his beauty, and it somewhat disconnected me from the story. That's why I prefer actors with average looks, where charisma comes entirely from their character. Being taken out of the story by someone's appearance annoys me (she said and hearted Lim Ji Sub).
I thought Seo Jae was acting like he learned something in the military because I assumed he realized he was gay there, and I believe that would have been more fitting for the story. After all, he always took the first steps.
Continuing to be friends with a selfish, opportunistic, ready-to-betray-you, jealous, and passive-aggressive character like Jang Young!? That's something I would never do in real life. My baby Seo Jae also believes that this person ain't wearing a mask. ?
