It’s remarkable how well this series portrays that brief period of young love, where everything feels limitless before it inevitably changes, and the challenges of navigating distance—both in relationships and in competitive pursuits. I consider this to be among the most emotionally impactful coming-of-age narratives I've encountered. Ideally, a more seasoned audience, perhaps those aged 30 or older, would appreciate it best. The latter portion delves into that poignant stage of life where opportunities seem diminished, yet youthful perspectives remain visible, allowing for a clearer understanding as one progresses toward middle age and beyond. Kim Tae Ri’s performance brings to life an exceptionally memorable character—one of the most impressive I've seen in film or television, even when considering Hollywood productions. It’s a drama of exceptional quality that isn’t suitable for younger viewers. I can only think of one other series that matches its depth and insight: "My Mister" from 2018, another Korean drama featuring Lee Seon Kyoon and IU. To conclude, I'll share another line from the show: “You can't live in this World if you only know how to break.” I wholeheartedly suggest watching it!
