Tae Ho
In the shining galaxy of A.N.JELL, Bangtan Sonyeondan & CNBLUE
While I do find this drama to be extremely successful at warming your heart (especially the mother-daughter bonding), I find myself slightly underwhelmed by the setting that this story has largely decided to focus itself on.
To cut to the chase, it was established in the early episodes that the main relationship breaker of the main couple is a great deal lack of communication and NOT lack of love, like typically the cause of many divorces today. Nevertheless, after looking back at the core execution of the drama, it does feel like the writers were trying to remind the main characters as to the reasons they fell in love in the first place, which inevitably made me think that the writers have actually lost their main focus in the effort to tell the story.
I couldn't think of many instances where the main characters actually get to sit down together and talk through their issues, rather the built up was more centered on the unnecessary love quadruple that at the end of it all, was finally meant to wake the ML and FL in their heads that they in fact have always loved each other, and wouldn't have it any other way. A bit strange a proposition, don't you think?
There are obviously not a single villain in this drama since it's mainly about people trying to sort out their own issues in life having given a second chance, and every characters have the potential to tug warmly at your heartstrings though I was not particularly fond of the potential love triangle. The FL character is my favourite in this drama, since she's a mother before she went back 20 years and the pain of having a broken marriage and not having her child by her side was very brilliantly expressed by the actress, Jang Na Ra.
The OST by SoHyang is just the complete recipe to utterly break your heart at some scenes, and I'm really glad to have watched this drama given I'm a sucker for good songs accompanied by cleverly written contexts.
I read many comments in the viewing site that this drama is something that the viewers intend to rewatch when they get older, especially since the message of parent-child bonding, importance of communication in a marriage and love for your child is absolutely brilliantly expressed. I do agree, and I believe that if I rewatch this again at a more mature head space, it'd hit me differently and worse.
Thank you to all the actors and crew, an absolutely brilliant drama otherwise overall!
