I don’t know how to express exactly what I feel about this drama.

Usually, dramas with mature content like nudity and explicit scenes tend to fall into one of two categories: they either become literal corn without any plot, or the plot is so poor that it’s hard to watch. However, this drama doesn’t fit into either extreme. It’s neither overdone with excessive nudity nor underdone with a terrible plot. Instead, it finds a balanced middle ground.

For Korea, I believe this drama represents a significant step forward. I appreciate how it portrays sex as something healthy, rather than something to be ashamed of or looked down upon—a perspective often found in more conservative societies, including Korea. I learned a lot from this drama, especially about romantic relationships.

Both couples in the story were very engaging. One character transitions from a toxic, restrictive relationship to finding freedom, realizing she doesn’t need to rush into another relationship immediately after gaining her independence. The other character always sought freedom because she never felt secure, and her journey contrasts beautifully with the first character’s. This contrast effectively highlights the different dynamics of relationships, emphasizing that all types are normal. Importantly, the second female lead is not portrayed as promiscuous just because she didn’t have a strict, monogamous relationship. This nuanced depiction is refreshing and avoids negative stereotypes..

Unlike many K-drama that often stick to the same boring traditional romantic tropes, this drama explores the complexities of love and relationships that feel real and relatable. The inclusion of elements like HIV tests underscores the importance of sexual education, making the drama not just entertaining but informative. Overall, this drama feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s not perfect, but it leaves a lasting impression. It shows that a drama can be simple yet well-executed, with nudity as a component rather than the focus. The writer and director deserves commendation for creating such a memorable and impactful work.
