I just finished the drama an hour ago and since then, my heart has this indescribable feeling of longing and emptiness and looks like I need to find a rebound drama after writing this review.
Honestly, I tend to ignore dramas where not a lot of people are talking about, thus, I only watched JBL months after it had finished. And it's a shame that I went pass this when it was still airing months ago.
What I loved the most about this one is although some may say that it lacked the usual pace of a Korean drama, the thorough story telling made us feel the depth of its plot and characters as they unravel right before our eyes. They also molded everyone as real people. And what I meant by 'real' is the capability of the characters to convey their thoughts and feelings, making our emotions bind with them as we go on a journey in each episode. Despite the fact that some characters were kind of annoying at some point of the story, they made sense. They were annoying for some of us but on the other hand, we as audience agonized with them for we felt their hearts. Moreover, the love that Moon Soo and Gang Doo shared was clearly seen through Won Jin Ah's and Lee Junho's eyes (kudos to these two actors.) Their chemistry was no joke.
On this note, I have to commend the casting director for choosing these actors. Such a refreshing feeling to see new faces with such potentials. They did a great job for portarying their characters absolutely well.
All in all, I cried and laugh and felt the warmness. Not all dramas that were highly rated mean they were really good, and with this, we could also say that not all underrated dramas were bad. They were what we call "undiscovered gems".
