Vastly enjoyed watching, with some small issues

A friend recommended this one to me, as always I did not read the description, so I had no clue what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised. I did read the description afterwards and may I just say, to me it kinda fails to deliver the essence of what this Drama is really about... A beautiful story of two best friends that (come to) love each other. The description makes it kinda sound like it’s all about finding someone to marry as fast as possible, but to me that does not capture the essence of this Drama at all.

That being said here’s my two cents:

Actors: I absolutely loved the actors, I liked how they kept the same actors for the scenes when they were still younger. The male lead was absolutely the star of this Drama, if I remember correctly the actor won a price for his performance in this Drama, absolutely deserved in my opinion. Like honestly he did such a good job at conveying emotions, even if all the other actors had been terrible, he’d probably make up for it.

Plot:
I don’t think I’ve seen this kind of best friend romance arch yet. I absolutely loved it. Starting from the fact that this plot is probably relatable to a lot of people, since most people have found their self in a situation were they were stuck in a platonic relationship with someone they were interested in romantically.. Generally I loved almost every aspect of the two Leads relationship and the change in their relationship, with one major demerit: how everything was solved/how they got together. There was this huge built up through out the Drama, making us anticipate them finally realising their feelings and getting together... however when the time finally came, to me it just seemed really rushed and kind of disappointing. That part was honestly kind of a blow to me. I would have also loved to see more of their beginning stages, turning from friends into lovers. However, even like that, I was still vastly satisfied with how their relationship progressed, I don’t think I’ve ever been that invested in two people’s love, I actually cried a couple of times, and I liked that this was not the: everything is solved within the last 10 minutes, giving the viewer no time to enjoy the happiness, kind of End.

Now honestly apart from the main story arch everything else was not really that special, the side love interests, to me were just really annoying, but I guess they were needed to make the story work.
We also have a lot of scenes with the families of the two leads, showing different kinds of love developing or existing, which was nice, but not as capturing as it maybe could have been. But all in all these scenes did well in guiding the leads through their experiences of life and love.
We also have some kind of “finding yourself” type of story arch, that to me however, was not really that interesting. But the love arch alone was enough of a storyline to me.

OST:
Imma give a special shoutout to the OST, since I loved the soundtrack of this one.

So if you want to be taken on a journey of love, sadness, some happiness, anticipation, maybe a bit of frustration and a couple of funny scenes, do give this one a try. To me it wasn’t the best Drama ever made but I do not regret watching it at all.
