I absolutely loved this drama—it’s so misunderstood! 😭 The characters endured so much, and I shed so many tears for Yeongjae in the final episodes. The ending, while realistic, still managed to bring a sense of peace. These were flawed, imperfectly mature humans, and Yeongjae’s difficult and tragic life shaped her character in such a profound way. She faced so much hardship 😭. Yes, every time it was unfair to Joonyoung (and honestly, comparing their lives, his was far more enviable), but Yeongjae knew that she didn’t deserve his love again, even though she still had lingering feelings for him. She carried all of that pain alone, especially after the divorce, where both she and her husband were physically together but emotionally isolated. This is something that happens in real life.
I would love them to somehow meet again in Portugal. Still, it's clear they will see each other again in Korea, regardless of whether they rekindle their relationship. I really appreciated that the drama didn’t go the cliché route of reuniting them as a couple because it wouldn’t have fit the story at all. As long as they are happy, I’m happy too. Healing is more important.
I loved how drastically their life trajectories shifted by the end—they basically switched roles. The story was so meaningful, raw, and complex. You laugh a lot at the beginning and cry your heart out by the end. It beautifully captured life’s philosophies in such a profound way. A truly unforgettable drama.
One of the concepts of The Third Charm, by the way, is: "the spring of their 20s, the summer of their 27s, then the autumn and winter of their 32s." Each season truly fits their story perfectly… It's poetic ✍️.
Finally, I want to highlight the drama’s narration and attention to detail, with its use of symbolism, foreshadowing, and more. While it’s not a high-budget production, this actually works in its favor—it feels so natural, and I absolutely love that about it.
P.S: Since I have Portuguese origins and go there often, I am also really glad that they showed the beauty of this country.
