This review may contain spoilers
....I would make the same choice and rewatch this drama.
Goodness. This review is full of spoilers. The only thing you need to know is that the drama is amazing and worth a try. If you enjoy it, that is wonderful... if you do not, that is alright as well. If you are the type to read spoilers and not be discouraged, then go ahead... if you want to watch the drama someday and cannot stand spoilers, stop reading after the next three sentences.
This drama is amazing, I hope others will think so too and it is best to have tissues ready for those emotional goodbyes. If you leave on the way, I hope you come back and complete the journey. This drama is worth it.
Now for spoilers.
These awards are for all the dramas I have seen for the first half of 2020.
Award for BEST KDRAMA SECOND LEAD'S MOTHER goes to..... Go Myung Eun (GME).
She supported her daughter in every decision she made. She did everything she could to protect her daughter's reputation, speed-up the wedding date and help her live a comfortable life in the village, because she thought Seo Dan (SD) wanted to marry Ri Jeong-hyeok (RJH). As soon as she released RJH was not what SD wanted anymore, she did not pressure her. When SD was moving on, GME went with the flow and investigated Gu Seung-jun (SJ), incase she was dodge (he was). She did not push SD into anything she did not want to do, i.e. wanting her to use talismans to find a husband three years after SJ's death. If only more second lead KDrama mothers were more like GME. *sigh* She was one of my favourite characters. Everytime she was on-screen, I could not help but smile.
This leads to her second award...
Award for BEST DUO goes to.....
Go Myung Eun (GME) and Go Myung Suk (GMS).
This mom-and-uncle, brother-sister duo were a riot! GMS spoke with a constant foot in his mouth and GME was there to set him straight everytime. Whether she verbally scolded him or physically assault him, it sure was hilarious to watch GMS try and fail to be a good brother and uncle. He did do his best. I, especially, enjoyed their last scene on-screen. Brilliant performances 'til the very end.
Award for MOST SMUG-POUT goes to....
The Fifth Company Master Sergeant, Pyo Chi Su (PCS). ( ^ - ^ )
The transformation from a smug to a pout was one of his best attributes. Every word that cane out of his mout h was riddled with ridicule towards South Korea, capitalism and 'that woman' (Seri). However, it was clear to us (the viewers) and his comrades that... those three weren't that bad (⌒▽⌒)As he got to know them, he grew to tolerate, understand and care for them, respectively. Although, he would never admit it. The smug-pout was a staple on his face whenever he dealt with anything beyond his scope of comprehension. *happy sigh*
And finally
Award for BEST SECOND LEADS goes to...
Seo Dan (SD) and Gu Seung-jun (SJ).... because THEY MOVED ON AND FOUND LOVE ELSEWHERE! Unfortunately, SJ did not make it 'til the end ( T - T ). All I have to say about them was said in the episode review, but I will still add this:
SJ was so bad-ass was a bad-ass who went out with a bang (painful pun intended).
End note (and deepest wish):
- If DAVICHI and YOON MI-RAE could please sing the soundtrack of my life, I would very much appreciate it.
- If HYUN BIN and SON YE JIN were to appear in another drama together and KIM JUNG HYUN were to get his HEA, I would also appreciate that too.
