This is the first time I am ever writing a review for a TV show. The first thing I would like to say is PLEASE WATCH IT RIGHT NOW!!! This is genuinely one of my favourite dramas (or may even be my all-time-favourite drama haha). The acting, soundtrack, visuals, everything is top notch!! So please do watch it.
(Spoilers Ahead)
I had got the spoiler that Na Hee-do and Back Yi-jin don't end up together before I could even start watching the show. People were saying how the ending was so realistic and stuff like that. At that time, I didn't understand what they were saying, and thought that even if it is realistic, it is really sad that they did not end up together. But now that I am done watching the show, I can tell that it is the comforting kind of realistic, and not the dark kind of realistic. This show taught me that even if nothing lasts forever and everything is momentary (Na Hee-do's lines lol), the good moments that you experience in your life, either with your lover or friends or whatever, will always be remembered and cherished at the end of the day. Even if Na Hee-do and Back Yi-jin did not end up together, they will always remember and cherish each other as their first love. So that's what matters. And I also understand why they did not end up together. If they had ended up together, they both would have only got sadder and sadder, and would have been like a burden to each other. Instead of creating more and more sad moments with each other, they chose to leave each other and cherish the good memories they have of each other and their relationship. They chose to remember each other as their first love. And honestly, I never thought I would say this, but I absolutely love the ending. It wasn't exactly a sad ending, but also happy in a way. And the good kind of realistic. I loved every single bit of this show. I am so glad I got to experience this masterpiece.
