types of love
This drama is my absolute favorite. I don’t even know where to start talking about what I love about it. I guess I should begin with the cinematography because it's stunning. The color tone of the show changes depending on the weight of the story, making you feel like you're under a never-ending rain. Each scene gives you these amazing photographic moments that really enhance the viewing experience.This drama is pretty heavy and slow, but it’s definitely not boring. I couldn’t connect with any of the characters because I feel completely different from them, but they delivered such great performances that it felt natural, like they were really being themselves. So even though I didn’t agree with their choices, I understood why they did what they did.
I haven’t watched a drama that elevates emotions like this in a long time. In this story, everyone is lost, lonely, and trying to find their way.
Three siblings experience deep trauma after their father leaves them for another woman (though it's true that the brother wasn’t really affected by it since he was very young at the time). After their father's death, they are kicked out of the home where they were raised by their stepmother. Shin Woo, whose life was ruined because of his father, makes a plan for revenge. He gets a job at the company of the son of the woman his father ran away with. His goal is to take revenge on the woman who brought pain to his family by using her son. However, the man turns out to be nothing like he expected, and over time, Shin Woo finds himself developing feelings he can't control.
Yes, I know it sounds cliché! But it’s not; the way the story is presented is so natural and unique that eventually you find yourself just praying for everything to work out.
One thing you can't overlook in this drama is the supporting characters. Ah, they’re all unique and different. They’re connected to the main characters but also have their own distinct arcs…
Oh, yes, that was pretty praise-heavy, but it’s not exaggerated. Watching them understand and accept their love without drowning in each other's loneliness and traumas was truly beautiful. We know it was really hard for both of them.
My only negative critique of this drama is that the ending should have given us more. No, it’s not an ambiguous ending (which we know we don’t like, and we’re justified in that). But after spending 16 episodes feeling their pain and tension, we deserved more time for the final scene.
Anyway, for those who are about to start watching, I can just say: please don’t underestimate the natural flow of life and give it a chance. We need stories like this!

I'm really sad that this underrated drama has been overlooked, and I can never understand why. It definitely deserves more recognition, but that doesn't change the fact that it's beautiful. Ever since I became a K-drama fan, I've loved discovering these hidden gems, and I find them so valuable. Unlike the familiar storylines where you know exactly where things are going (which I also enjoy), the stories of strong, independent women and the supportive men in their lives make us much happier.
Unlike his other roles, it was really nice to see Park Sung-hoon as a calm, quiet, and gentle character. I started with the villains, lol. And Nana is really sweet and charming. This role suited her perfectly, and it was a pleasure to watch her.
Please give a drama a chance.

It’s a confusing storyline but ultimately harmless.
I actually felt that the writer's mind was quite confused after the plot section of the series, especially in the next two episodes. I even thought about stopping watching it, but I couldn't help my curiosity about where the story would go.I don't think it's a bad drama, as many people say, but it's not good enough either. It's a drama that stands between the two and doesn't really know which direction to take. While it was bold to try a different approach to the arranged marriage concept we've seen in classic series, it ultimately didn't have the desired impactThe main reason for this is the lack of motivation behind the female character's acceptance of the marriage. It’s hard to believe that a woman who has her own values, fights for her life, and never gives up despite facing constant challenges would appear so desperate as to pursue a fake marriage that she sees as the "role of her life."Another issue is the younger brother's irrational hatred towards the woman who will be his brother's wife, all while being unaware of the marriage's falsehood. His promise to try to win her over feels really strange. Trying to make her fall in love with him to prevent her from marrying his brother? That just seems utterly nonsensical from any angle.o what part of this series did I find appealing? It's definitely the chemistry between the couple amidst the nonsensical plot around them. If we could overlook all that, we could have fully enjoyed the fire between them in a different storyline.

Silence can sometimes be loud.
Of course, we haven't reached the end yet, but it's clear that this drama is completely an adaptation of a book. I haven't read the book, but I'm almost certain that the story closely follows its original flow. This series isn't suitable for those with traditional expectations of drama. That said, it wouldn’t be accurate to say it's entirely free of clichés. For now, it's exciting to see how this quickly igniting romance will end. However, based on the way the story is presented, I can say that they don't have to give us a happy ending. We can somewhat understand where their passionate and enthusiastic love is headed. Especially their discussions about what "eternal love" means and their eagerness for it show us the inevitable from the very beginning.As for the characters, we have a more introverted male character who keeps his thoughts to himself, contrasted with a female character who is much more energetic and has a stronger expectation of love. However, I'm finding it quite difficult to empathize with the female character; I still haven't figured out what her problem is.She moved to a foreign country with her friend, defying her family, and we thought she was quite brave—at least that's what was shown to us. She quickly settled in a culture that was unfamiliar to her, found a job, and fell in love. She moved in with her boyfriend, got along well with her coworkers, and everything seemed fine in her education. So, what’s the problem? Why does she feel so foreign and alone? I couldn't understand that. For these reasons, she left her boyfriend and is still very angry with him even after five years. But why??? Yes, the male character might be a bit reserved about sharing his thoughts, but he was always open about his love for her. She could have built a social circle in the country she moved to, but she chose to cling to Jungo and be alone with her, effectively shutting herself off from the outside.
Now, she's about to marry someone else with whom she shares friendly feelings, yet she’s still in love with the man from five years ago. I’m curious to see how the lack of communication from their separation will play out in the final chapterAside from that, the cinematography and music are amazing. Despite all these dead ends, it has become a drama worth watching for me.
