A heartwarming love story. A good read for any book lovers
16 June 2020
I love movies and I love books. This series provide both. I am so tired of Hollywood's OTT French kissing scene, too many unnecessary nude/sex scenes where the leads just jump into bed on their first/second date. So lately I prefer Kdrama, although sometimes some shows can be a bit cheesy but most of the time, they are wholesome and the whole family can watch together. This is one of those.

This is another Lee Jung Sok show. I am a big fan, I watched all his shows and this one didn't disappoint. The story is deep, the love is genuine and the friendship between the characters is a pleasure to watch. Worth mentioning is the intro, it is a storybook setting and unique, very beautifully carve and dreamy like.

Both leads are good actors and the chemistry is natural and comfortable. Lee Na Young is a very good actress. Watching their love slowly progress from a 20-year friendship to lovers in a step by step pace is a delight, it has this slow water runs deep kind of emotion and release a sweet and warm feeling. The subtle use of "The moon is beautiful" is another feat... it makes me smile. It really makes me think this is what true love should be, the contentment feeling of being surrounded by a warm blanket.

This series didn't just focus on finding love but also on how important it is to keep the love going, we see the couple divorced due to "drifting apart for a long time". It is kind of sad but such is life.... This is another plus about this show, it is realistic, it shows the hardship of everyday life, from finding a job to finding true love.

The supporting cast is superb and even the atmosphere in the publishing office is addictive, who wouldn't want to work in that office? The camaraderie/friendship among the office workers is so positive. The trench coat scene is a BANG, lol...

Overall, this TV series is a win. I love it!!
