So refreshing
I genuinely fell in love with this show instantly. It felt very real and palpable in a way that dramas in this genre never really fully grasp. I cried and got goosebumps so many times and it wasn't even necessarily because of the main couple. The drama deals with so many real and important topics and does so in a very healthy manner, without romanticizing or downplaying them, which was so refreshing to witness.
They build up all the characters really well, maybe even too well. Because my one complaint about this drama would simply be the ending, or more specifically the last two episodes... The characters just simply acted way out of character in the end, I guess it was to add to the suspense or whatnot, but that would be the singular turn off for me. They built these characters up so well that at the end you could really go "Ah, this isn't what the character stands for." if that makes sense. I think the ending could have been used a bit better to tie up some more loose ends, exactly because they spent a lot of time building up side characters, and then only tying up the few main ones.
But other than that, nothing but praise for this show. It handled a lot of interesting topics, from morality to how women are treated and viewed in the world while also keeping a somewhat light hearted atmosphere with the romance.
SPOILER ALERT!!
One of the most frustrating things for me how throughout half the show the entire future and love life of the main character was decided upon by three men who simply would not listen to a word she says. Especially her boyfriend at the time. All I could think was: THE AUDACITY!!!! And that really left me thinking a lot and then paired up with the domestic violence topic and how the men handled that one... It couldn't leave many unfazed I think and that's really what adds value to this show, in my opinion. Its ability to make you think about some sensitive topics and its ability to make you sympathize with the characters without downplaying these topics as the only thing they have going for them. It shows their struggles dealing with them rather than just going "All you have to do is say no more and it all goes away!"
So yeah, idk if this makes much sense and I'm about two years late watching this, but I had to let this all out somewhere. The show is an amazing watch, and I'd recommend it to anyone!
