bawling my eyes out over the considerate and gentle love that's going on here
I sincerely, genuinely find this k-drama so precious.
First off, its attempt to convey realism was so well-done. At first, the sudden cuts and raw editing was something I thought would be one of the drama's weaker points, but turns out, it was made purposefully to appear as if the events are literally unfolding right before our eyes. The camera angles, framing, and even the way the scenes felt like real life, with all the dull moments and stuttering and you can even feel the awkwardness in the conversations, it's perfection. I understand not everyone would appreciate this kind of drama, though but personally, it was something I enjoyed and am fond of.
Son Ye-Jin and Jung Hae-In's acting were both so stellar. They showed such great expertise in this drama that I got goosebumps especially whenever they're having those heavy conversations. Even the supporting roles did such a great job in playing their parts. There were times when the actors don't talk and the story is told through their actions and I think it takes experience and a great skill set to be able to pull those off seamlessly, to which they were able to. Hands down to the cast choices (sidenote: they put Hae-In and Ha-Joon in one drama they may have just shot an arrow through my heart).
One thing I personally thought could have been better though is the ending. I was left wondering what really happened to the office case because it was just mentioned briefly but not really shown, and though I got a reasonable resolution with the parental relationship, I still wondered if what could have happened next.
Other than that, I loved even the dull moments in this drama. Sure, at some parts, I had to drag myself to sit through everything and not skip, but in the larger picture, for the purpose of 100% feels factor during the flashbacks, it was so worth it. I especially loved how the couple was so considerate of each other and even when they're having arguments, they don't resort to shouting and walking out, they really talked it out, no matter how uncomfortable, and tried their best to stay gentle in the span of the conversation. I think that was so precious and beautiful.
