Sometimes amidst the romcoms and thrillers, you want to watch something closer to the realities of life. Our Blues is one such drama.

Jeju is the perfect setting for this drama. The easy, relaxing, laidback country life suits the stories of the characters living on the island. This drama was wonderfully written, not necessarily perfect, but gives you the warm feeling of home. Each character was given a fair moment to shine and the ensemble didn't fail to impress me with their performance.

I loved the story of Yeong Jun and the actress who portrayed her was such a revelation. She nailed the role for someone so young. Another story I loved was Yeong Hui's, because it showed real challenges a person could face when you have a family member with a disability. Lastly, Lee Byung Hun's story was given a touching closure in the last episode. It reminded me so much of my mama because due to work, I was never that close to her. It was just work, sleep, work, sleep for me. We never really got to have any meaniingful conversation. When she fell ill, I didn't hesitate to leave my job to take care of her. I will forever be grateful to have had the chance to bond with her in the end.

If you want to watch something that is more realistic, a slice of life type of drama, this one is for you
