What can I say? I laughed I cried, I awed and I booed. This story really made me believe in Kdramas as wholesomeness. Man this was so good. I was thinking about it when I wasn’t watching it. I was shipping characters together. Acting was incredible out of everyone and I just really loved learning about Korean culture through the eyes of this neighborhood. I loved traveling back in time like this to a time when things weren’t so freaking disconnected. My favorite kdrama to date.
I will say however that I will never ever ship Choi Taek and Doek Sun together at all. I’m team Doek Hwang idc. I love Go tbh so I’m a Taek fan but come on he does not have any chemistry with Doek Sun.
I think in general this drama portrayed the ups and downs of a youth well lived. A youth that was spent on all the things we should spend it on. One where every personal moment seems like the end of the world but rlly that moment is just that a moment. How dramatic we are as youths that everything matters so much and yet they matter so little.
This drama encapsulates that within it.
