Its not only about love

At first, I jumped on this drama when I saw that there was Park Eun Bin.
Everything she touches, usually, turns into gold.

But then, once I started watching it, I kind of felt a disappointment... Wait, wait... I felt that because, musical dramas are not my cup of tea (despite the dark scenes that made me very emotional). Yes, everyone, I jumped into the drama without seeing the trailer nor reading the synopsys, believe me.

Now, where do I start?

The end of episode 1 had shaken me so much so I said to myself: "You know what? You're gonna watch this damn drama! See where all this goes, hopefully, it'll be ok."

It was more than ok. It was a beautiful drama, filled with intriguing characters and let me tell you, I felt that the "musical" part was very secondary.
Beware that the domestic violence is literally the topic number 1, so this is not advised for people who get triggered by it.
This is not only about love and dreams, its about friendship, family, survival, hardship, insecurities, illness, grief, guilt... There's so much to add. The emotions every character displayed were truly felt.



There were some actors that I knew, since I have been watching dramas for so long (though, I might say that sometimes I have my *dramatic breaks*) and I had never seen Chae Jong Hyup on screen, or at least, I do not remember.
As soon as I saw him, I thought "nah, this is not it..." for the cast members (after episode 2 I went and searched on MDL the details) but I was so intrigued by the Ki-ho kid that I continued on waiting and see which one would be Ki-ho in the future... and oh, I was so wrong! Again!

He was amazing. I could even translate his eyes, damn, his eyes talked! So yes, this drama is worth watching and I loved every second that this guy and Park Eun Bin had on screen together.
I hope they work together again and I want to see more angst (I know we kind of suffered here, but I need something EVEN more serious), because they are able to pull it off.

As for Mok-ha, what an interesting character, might I add. A sunshine! She went through so much in life and was still able to keep her humbleness, her joy, her beauty... The list goes on.
Marvelous work from Eun Bin, per usual. She never fails to amaze me.

I loved the rest of the cast, they were so well chosen. Seo Jung Yeon, this woman deserves indeed her flowers and I am so glad to see her everytime on screen! Lee Seung Joon, he made me hate him so much. This man got immersed in that role and I have seen in him other roles, but this one? I won't forget, at all. Great job.
Cha Hak Yeon got my attention with this role, I look forward to dig in his projects, he was lovely. The biggest bouquet of flowers go mostly to Lee Joong Ok (made me the happiest), Kim Hyo Jin (I felt so empathetic towards her) and Moon Woo Jin, what an incredible work this kid did. He has such a bright future!


I believe the story could have been written a little bit different, I won't lie, I felt that the 15 years on a damn island WERE TOO MUCH... But it all worked out in the end, as I loved to see how dedicated Ki-ho was to find her. That is true friendship and love, everyone. True friendship and love...

I am sad that I did not watch this once it came out, but to be honest, I feel that there is always a certain time and place for us to find gems like this.
