I love how the writer didn’t waste any moment in this drama. Every minute counts, every emotion is felt and sinks deep.
The characters are all well thought out, I mean each character holds space, there is no one, even the children casted who didn’t have a solid role.
I think all through the film I kept wondering, will we know Ri Jeong Hyeok’s real feelings? Will he really go head with marriage after all this? I loved the train scene when Yoon Seri is demanding this and that and he calmly brings everything for her comfort. The way he went to shop for her, how he would always find her.
She on the other hand, when it was her turn to be generous did that and much more.
This film has so much heart.
From the village head who keeps getting drunk and spilling secrets, to Sergeant Pyo Chi Soo, who is such a fun character but seems to be unaware of himself ( He’s actually quite handsome )
Seung Jung’s character gets better and better as the story progresses. I loved how he proposed to Yoon Seri to help her, after her brother called and made him realise what kind of a family she had. He also was able to break Seo Dan and curve a girl out of stone into until we couldn’t bear to watch him go.
When company five are given the Card to spend, I love the excitement they have to try different things But at the same time they do not become spendthrifts. They are like Yoon Seri and Jeong Hoek’s little siblings.
Jeong Hyeok’s mother ðŸ˜ðŸ˜awww she is such an awesome woman. She can stand her own ground, she is loving and tender but at the same time a very fitting wife for someone in such a superior position.
The NIS, 😊all hot.
If this was a book I would read it, but I think this is one of the few times when the film would always be better than the book.
I’m glad it has a happy ending.
It was pulling at all my heart strings.
Thank you for this gift.
This was my first Kdrama.
I liked that this was your first K-drama, because your fresh perspective made the praise feel especially genuine. Your point that every minute counts and no character felt wasted matches what drew many viewers in. I also loved your note about Jeong Hyeok's mother standing her ground, since she became such a warm highlight amid the tension.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely first K-drama to fall for — I completely agree that no minute feels wasted here, because even the smallest characters hold space in the story. The train scene you mentioned is one of my favourites too; that quiet moment when Jeong-hyeok finally starts to show his feelings says more than any grand declaration. Company Five stealing every scene, from their excitement with the card in Seoul to Sergeant Pyo Chi Soo slowly warming up, is exactly why the ending lands so well.
