Romance stuck in 20th century
Romance of the adult leads was stuck in 20th century. Romance, dating and flirting in 2024 has moved on from stilted and childish characters portrayed in this drama. This is most annoying when the characters are 30+. The younger versions of the leads had more passion and chemistry. Overbearing parents / elders are becoming cliche. I liked ji won’s mum’s character so much more relatable. Even the costumes of the characters seemed dowdy and not really in keeping with Seoul fashion.the secondary storyline didn’t become clear until last two episodes and felt flat and uninteresting.

A woman’s life inKorean society is tough
I enjoyed watching this movie as I thought it seemed to portray accurately a woman’s life in South Korea.Despite having a degree and successful career prior to marriage, respect from family, friends and strangers was difficult to achieve once she became a mother. while not every mother would go through this extreme experience, the struggle to be recognised and respected, I imagine, would be common to most.
Even the love of a husband cannot substitute for respect whether that be self respect or from others.
Given the patriarchal culture with overbearing and demeaning behaviour from in-laws it is understandable why Korea’s birth rate and marriages is so low.

this is a mature romance
This drama was a well crafted story with fantastic cinematography.I loved watching the mix of cultures and tension between young lovers who despite being very much in love couldn’t find the right way to communicate. Time apart helped them to mature and find a balance between surviving and living,
I cried and laughed. it was also the right length with no superfluous padding in the storyline. this made the drama so much more entertaining. I also found myself searching for the songs on Apple Music so I could continue to reminisce.
