One thing that kept me engaged in this story was the way the female lead was written. She has pulled off shows like "What comes after love", "The red sleeve", "law cafe" and "The story of parks marriage contract" . She plays "damsel in distress" typa rolls wayyy too well. Her tears leave me in awe every single time. She wasn't like any ordinary goody-two-shoes or saintly character. There were moments when I actually disliked her, which speaks to the quality of her acting. It was raw and captivating-she was hot-tempered, young, ambitious, reckless, fierce, and proud. No one understood her except for the male lead.
The casting was fantastic; all the actors did an amazing job. The performances felt genuine, and nothing seemed forced or awkward. The character development was natural, even if it was frustrating to watch at times. I found myself rooting for them to end up together.
Although the second leads weren't given much depth, I was glad they were able to find their own loves. I would have loved to see more of the love story between Sang-on and the short-haired librarian girl, though.
The chemistry between the main leads was remarkable; they deserve a best couple award for this. Their love was intense, filled with jealousy, confusion, longing, sadness, and, above all, love. I really appreciated how passionately in love they were.
Kudos to the cast for making this mid-story an 8/10 for me. It's worth watching at least once. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you have a great day!
