Procrastinated Love
That's how I feel about this story. The love I imagined was unrequited. It's procrastinated love.
This drama stays on the surface and doesn't go where the feelings are. A photographer whose work is all over the place and that we hardly see with a camera in hand and a writer with absolutely no imagination or the ability of putting herself in other people's shoes. Writing requires perspective, not ego.
Also I've never met a photographer who just deletes all their past work or fun photos. They're all archived somewhere, usually in more than one place so they don't lose their work. Even worse, I've never met a photographer that had a darkroom and made someone else develop the film so he could be on the computer?!?!?!? DEVELOPING THE FILM IS THE MOST FUN PART! It makes absolutely no sense.
This drama perpetuates the idea that art is suffering instead of it being a skill, a different way of seeing and a profession where money and power have a lot of influence. Honestly, the most unreal part about this drama was the PD님 accepting the rejection without damaging her career. Especially her being a woman. It's absolutely inconceivable, especially because he said he gave her a chance because of her beauty.
About the love. There is no love. You can feel a bit of passion in the first episode and that's it. I love both actors but this wasn't it. The only love that was there was when they watched a movie and he started crying while we saw Park Bo Young on the screen. I cried too!
They try to convey that love is caring and it truly is, but romantic love shouldn't be the same as parental love. The fact that she couldn't tell it was her mother and not Seonwoo who was at her place is somehow very telling.
This drama feels like warm beer on a summer day. It does absolutely nothing for you. Two people looking at each other in different ways and running away from each other and ending up together. They didn't even run that much, how could they have found each other?
I get it. Love is hard, it ruins friendships and life happens. That's a given. However, if we looked at people differently and at relationships differently as well, life could happen in a different way.
Love should be easy. The person you're with should be respected during and after things are over. And women and men can certainly be friends, even if there is a physical attraction at some point. People shouldn't be reduced to their urges. Fiction is a way of producing change, not just perpetuating stereotypes.
This drama aims at the notion that women and men can't be just friends. I really think that's a terrible message to put out there that will send us back even more. Women are already shamed for "putting men in the friendzone". The problem with this notion is that it puts women in the ever demeaning position of only being of interest to men when they can serve them in some way. How can we make progress if we keep pushing these notions forward? Yes, friends to lovers is something beautiful and common but it shouldn't come at the expense of true friendships between two different genres. Those last sentences about this in the drama should not have been said.
The last tarot cards suggested to follow her heart with determination. I didn't see any of that. I saw hesitation, pettiness and hidden feelings. I didn't see the feelings bursting from the chest like she said they were. If they were there would be unrest, impatience and yearning in the eyes. When she's confessing you can't really read Seonwoo's face. It's like he's being told the weather. There lacks emotion, surprise for being found out, confusion and giddiness for what's being revealed.
It was all very lukewarm. A warm beer on a summer day. It doesn't do much for you.
