Love is a blessing. How ironic.
There are not a lot of collabs between Japan and Korea on the drama front. This is a rare exception and it is a good one.
The A-plot is simple. The OTP meets in Japan. Falls in love. Falls out of love. They meet 5 years later in Korea.
I'm glad that the Korean production team embraced the J-drama style because it kept the story simple and focused. This is why it is only 6 eps long instead of 16 and is not weighted down with filler subplots and multiple couples. BTW, because the plot is so simple, I'm not going to spoil it. You really need to experience this yourself to fully appreciate it.
Let's get straight to the point. This drama is wonderful. The acting, dialogue, cinematography and OST are all topnotch. The sum is definitely greater than its parts. As such, this is not an easy watch. While there are cute and swoony moments during their meet-cute and honeymoon period, the wheel starts to squeak as their relationship is put under pressure later on.
To be honest, it pains me to watch their sad moments. It helps that the plot is not convoluted nor bloated. It is just real people doing their best with the hand they are dealt. That's RL, chingu.
BTW, there is a 2ML and he is a good man who deserves every happiness in the world but he is the second lead so you get the drift…
OK, this is where I stop rambling and let you go and watch the show. No spoilers. Watch to the end and you shall be rewarded. Hwaiting!
