I was moved the very first time I finished this. Now, After watching it the second time around, I am deeply moved enough to make me write a review.

What I love about this drama is its rawness- it shows you the start, process and end of a relationship in a very realistic way. I particularly appreciate the fact that it made me realize many things as i watched further, making me relate to many particular instances.

Relationships aren’t grand. It may start on a simple day, when one person touched you at a time you needed it the most. We saw this with the main leads. The end of a relationship doesn’t also always have to be grand. It can simply start due to petty fights and mistrust. And once it gets tiring, the little things become enough reasons to end everything. This reality was very much shown as we saw the leads journey through love.

I also love how the style and mood of the story changed as they grew older, showing how growing up erases the “fairytale” expectations from relationships. When youngjae and joonyoung first met, it was cute and sweet. When they met the second time around, we saw the honeymoon phase and the death of the said phase. When they saw each other for the third time, we saw a more mature take on relationships from both parties. It was truly a joy seeing this.

I loved everything about this show. The rawness. The writing. The acting, mygoodness the writing. The cinematography. The music. Hay, I loved it way too much.

I think it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’re patient enough to truly journey with a very realisting love story, watch this.
