Be ready for a heartwarming and emotional journey
This drama is about the college student and ex-convict Mhok, who desperately needs a job and ends up becoming Day's caretaker. Day is also a college student and was a passionate badminton player before he became partially blind due to infectious keratitis. The two get off on the wrong foot, but soon build up a great deal of trust... and finally fall in love with each other. But Day continues to struggle with his failing eyesight and Mhok tries his best to support him. Can they overcome the challenges together?
I was really impressed by JimmySea's acting! They both portrayed the characters very authentically. I had tears in my eyes almost every episode, I was so moved by Day and Mhok's conversations, actions and emotions.
The two had their flaws, especially Day could come across as unlikable in many situations, but his sometimes negative behaviors were mostly understandable to me - considering his eye-trauma and the difficult relationship with his brother and his overprotective mother.
Mhok is my personal highlight of this drama. I just love him! He's so warm, caring, empathetic, funny and creative. Truely the best caretaker and boyfriend for Day.
Overall, I liked episodes 1 to 9 the most. For me it was a real masterpiece that made my heart beat faster, made me smile, laugh and cry. Sadly, episode 10 to 12 had some disappointments in store for me. In my opinion, the break-up was too sudden and too incomprehensible in its intensity. In particular I mean the complete standstill in their communication for several years. And I think they didn't pay enough attention to Mhok's personal trauma (the death of his sister).
I'm very happy for Day that he got his sight back in the end. However, this scene in the hospital had nearly no emotional impact for me and that makes me really sad. After the unnecessary time skip everything was too rushed and kind of bland.
Since I experienced a "high" in the first nine episodes like I haven't in a long time, the disappointment with the rushed, kind of bad plot and the often weird behavior and decisions of the characters in the last few episodes hit hard. I experienced a huge "low".
Nevertheless, this series has a place in my heart and I still think about many of the beautiful messages, the amazing and interesting side characters, and the sweet moments between Mhok and Day.
