This is one of my top ten Kdramas for sure. And that's weird, because I just tried to explain it to my sister and all I could really think of was "its about this silly girl who is sweetly obsessed with her completely indifferent neighbour. And then there are some other great side stories." But there was no HEAVY DRAMA to report. No crazy out there story that draws you in each episode because you MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS Next. She's like... then why have you gone through a box of Kleenex?
What it is is one of the most well written, superbly acted, incredibly authentic stories about how beautiful the nothings in life can be. The complexity of the characters without needing horrific scenes involving alcoholic or abusive parents, drugs, suicides or orphanages is a massive testament to how well every single character is written and acted. Even the sub-sub-characters are memorable.
Even by KDrama standards, this relationship moves at an ultra snails pace. But it's not at all difficult to let it play out in its own time. With 24 episodes not a single one was wasted, or rushed. The pace was perfect. And even though we completed the arc, I'd watch it again and would most definitely watch a second installation.
When you realize how many of the actors are new to the game you have to give HUGE bonus points to the casting department (and utterly forgive any and all blips that resulted in extra takes! Thank you for the blooper reel 😊).
Get this cast and crew together again. The whole crew. From music to writers to editing and every detail in between, this team is magic.
