Somehow tiresome and tedious
Idk guys, it’s probably me and I TRIED but I just COULDN’T.
Everything about this drama was fine, technically. The acting was fine, it had a storyline that wasn’t drowned out by unnecessary NCs and it had conflict.
But by GOD it was so TIRESOME to watch. It was gratuitously melodramatic and unrealistic with barely any character development at all. The same conflict was repeated over and over again, so much so that I felt like I was trapped in a forever loop.
It also didn’t help that I kind of started to despise the younger brother. He was annoyingly persistent and selfish and almost kinda started to guilt trip the older brother into considering his confession. A little manipulative and creepy. It was unrealistic how his whole existence started and ended with his older step brother. He doesn’t have a life outside of his brother and his every thought is dominated by his brother. I understand that it’s probably supposed to portray this undying, idealistic type of love (obsession more like) but that’s why it’s either unrealistic or straight up frightening.
By the end I actively rooted against them. It felt like the story was trying to gaslight the older brother into giving the younger brother a chance. Ultimately, it didn’t feel to me like the older brother had the same feelings for the younger one. In fact, their dynamic reminded me a lot of the step bro couple from HIStory 4. Both younger step brothers were manipulative, persistent and obsessive, both older brothers were confused about their feelings and, what felt like, were led to believe that they are in love with their younger step siblings. Idk, I personally feel weird and awkward about this type of relationship dynamic, but those are my personal view and feelings about it.
I do kinda feel bad for giving it a 6 stars but it was such a slog for me to get through that I simply can’t force myself to give it more.
Another thing that bothered me was the love story between the younger sister and the older brother’s friend. He looked so much older than her and probably was and he saw her grow up etc so the first thought that entered my mind was that it’s plain old grooming. I was surprised that the older brother accepted their relationship relatively easily. He wasn’t happy about it but he also wasn’t as upset as I expected or would’ve liked him to be. If it was my little sister I’d probably seriously re-evalue my ‘friendship’ with that person.
