about hope and giving all your heart
Truly an underrated gem, I was very worried when I saw so many skeptical comments on here but two of my favorite k-actors acts in this so I /had/ to give it a try and oh boy I'm so glad I did!
If you loved Run On and Gaus Electronics like me, this is the perfect slice of life/comedy drama. At first we're introduced to the main cast and you may think that it will only follow the story of On Maeun but what the writers actually decided to make is a beautiful ensemble cast. Really, every single character even if it's just a support cast has his moment and his story. Some of them will make you think, some of them will make you cry. The relationship between the PDs and their artists are so sweet.
One of the surprises of this cast was certainly Shin Dae Ryuk/Kim Dohoon, a beautiful and complicated character, the acting was honestly sooo good. I already saw him in Law Cafè and although I loved his character on it too, wow! kudos, really.
Kim Sejeong confirms herself as one of my favorite actress, she's such a cutie in this one but /never/ cringy. And when there are serious moments you can see her talent, loved her little monologues. Nam Yoonsun is sooo incredible too, loved his story and really didn't see /that/ coming, I think his chatacter is one of my favorite in kdrama history, just a silly dude who tries his best, skeptical at first (I think his chatacter is the one that most of the audience can relate to) but then he can't help to be dragged by the hurricane that On Maeun is. Also DIMPLES.
Honestly I could gush about every single cast but anyways. A beautiful drama, is it maybe too optimistic? Yeah, maybe, but honestly I loved that. I think we need more stories in which people without a single hope left, people who fought for their dreams just to see them crushed, people who don't know what their future holds for them, see that sometimes, just sometimes! working hard and putting your heart (your entire heart, ha!) pays off. Protecting hope etc. etc. A love story to webtoons and to the people who work hard in the shadows.
