A Reflection on Love and Honesty
Do you ever feel that you don’t want a kdrama to end, like ever? You feel satisfied just watching the characters go about their lives without sophisticated plots or noteworthy events. This kdrama gave me those feelings. A huge part of it was the chemistry, not only between the female lead and the male lead, but also between the sisters, friends, and parents.
At first, I was afraid it would become a cheating/affair drama. While many see it that way, I don’t. Yes, the FL did have some curiosity towards the ML while being with her boyfriend, but this doesn’t mean she was emotionally cheating. She told the ML about her boyfriend and offered him friendship instead. The intimacy between her and her boyfriend was already fading, and it had nothing to do with the ML; she was going to leave him sooner or later.
What I liked about the FL is that she didn’t settle just because she had to. As she mentions multiple times throughout the show, “I don’t want to marry someone just because I’m a suitable age for marriage.” As a woman, I couldn’t agree more. She made it clear that she wasn’t thinking about marriage and didn’t manipulate her partner.
Many people thought the drama started very slow and complicated, but this is how adult relationships are. You don’t just meet someone and, boom, you’re dating and they’re your soulmate. When you’re mature enough, you’ll know that even in love and relationships, you’ll have to do some thinking.
As for the ML, I liked his personality. He was nice, caring, and understanding. However, what I didn’t like as much was that he wasn’t completely honest with her. When he got drunk and expressed his fears, that was the moment he was fully honest. I know it’s difficult to talk about your fears, especially in front of someone you admire, but to have a healthy relationship, you should express your fears and let your partner be aware of them. This eventually happened, so I have nothing to complain about regarding the flow of the show.
