Those who enjoy realistic films about everyday life will likely love it
The two main actors are beautiful and talented, but I stopped watching after the third episode because I felt it wasn't exciting at all. Those who enjoy realistic films about everyday life will likely love it, as it's quite a true-to-life story and perhaps even too banal because of its realism. If it were a fantasy, the younger character would be chasing the older one, not only due to the age difference and maturity in understanding what love truly is but also in terms of status. A beautiful woman like that, with her status and intelligence, would seemingly be able to get the best. Is this true in the real world? Obviously not. A doctor is also a human being with weaknesses and needs. However, to achieve the title of a doctor, one has to go through much more than the average person and be strong, so their expectations from a partner should align accordingly, not only financially but also mentally. But again, this couple is understandable, and it is certainly something that can happen in reality. However, it does not challenge the viewer enough, in my opinion, and for me, a movie is meant to be an escape from reality. Another note, which might be the main reason this drama is directed differently from a typical Japanese drama, is the involvement or influence of Korea. The background music is Korean, and there is something in the overly open style that feels like a Korean plot.
