SO MUCH MORE than just a fangirling/idol drama! This had depth, emotion, and LOVE.
The synopsis focuses on Deuk Mi's secret life as a fangirl, but this story goes FAR beyond that! This drama tells the story of friendship, family, acceptance, and above all - LOVE.
I was honestly surprised where the drama ended up going story-wise since I was not expecting it. It was so deep and I felt like I was in a rollercoaster. There were so many hilarious moments (especially around her fangirling) that made me literally laugh out loud. How fangirling was depicted in this drama was so painfully true as well (I could relate!)! But then, there were these heart-wrenching moments of self-reflection and forgiveness that made me cry my eyes out.
The level of maturity in this drama was outstanding. Again, the synopsis focuses on her fangirling. Kiiind of immature sounding, right? Wrong. This drama hits on so many points: from pro-LGBTQ+ (this was done deliciously well and so funny too), to searching for one's passion, finding one's worth, and forgiveness. There were so many things that came together at the end and it's just beautiful.
Also, I am in LOVE with our male lead's character. Sure, he's first portrayed as that cold and aloof male who seems to have it all figured out; but we later learn that that's not really the case. He had lost himself along the way and was on a journey to find himself again. We also see him actually apologize for his wrongdoings, talk about his emotions, and CRY about his feelings. We see him at his worst and we see him at his best. He was not the one-dimensional male leads we often see these days - we see him as the strong male lead we love to watch but glimpse his vulnerability as well.
And speaking of strong leads... shout out to our female lead. Strong and independent woman right there.
Last, the icing on the cake for me was our leads' incredible chemistry. It almost felt voyeuristic watching this drama because it honestly felt like I was watching a real-life couple. They had some bumps before they to admitting their feelings, but boy was it worth it. Their touches, their smiles, their KISSES, their conversations... it was all just perfect.
Supporting leads were amazing as well. Cindy became a favourite.
Overall, Her Private Life was a well-executed drama that gave me a pleasant surprise!
