feel good but some problematic elements
this show is a powerhouse in and of itself. it's got good rewatch value and the leads have good chemistry. it's worth a watch, but there are a few things that are frustrating to have to watch. my only two issues is the problematic way Bong Soon's mom will beat Bong Soon's dad (until he's got bruises in one scene) and that's played for laughs. The gay character is also used as comic relief in a way that gets really tiring. it feels uninspired to have the punchline of a joke be that the gay character is a stereotypeWas this review helpful to you?
Best Korean Drama to Date
Everything about this show is so good.if you like more understated shows that have strong character development, as well as no random drama just for the sake of drama or filler, this is it. it's gentle with some really cute, funny moments while also having substance.
this is one of the only shows in which, when characters have conflict, the outcome actually makes sense. their actions and motivations make sense. nothing is done for the sake of "dramas gotta drama."
the leads work really well together, and the way the show ends is just perfect. they have really interesting and unique chemistry.
I rewatch this show every couple of months to make life make sense and restore faith in love, relationships, and the future.
