Why this drama feels real

From what I've read, not many people liked this drama, and the rating are slightly low. I believe that people are afraid to give it a higher rating because of the raw emotion and story being told. I can't tell for certain if it's good or not, as I hadn't realised this was an adaptation. But when I watched it, I realised that I became immersed in the characters and their emotions, most importantly the three friends : su-ji, si-hyeon and se-ju.
The three friends mature throughout the story, having the most character development out of everyone within this drama. They learn from their actions in a painful and realistic way. Though this is still set in an aristocratic society, the drama focuses mainly on the relationships being made and broken. In this way, the drama depicts by far the most realism I've seen. I could relate to each character in some way, and feel their pain. The amazing acting helped to solidify this.
What I can say though, is that the way each character is intertwined with each other is extremely clever, but it was a bit overdone. It could be hard to follow at times.
I can't usually rewatch dramas or shows I've watched but nevertheless this was a great drama!
