Remarks

by Geo


[Geo-opsis] Mok Hae-won, a cellist living in Seoul, returns to her hometown for a break from life. During the course of her stay, she reconnects with Im Eun-seob who has silently been in love with her since they were children. Over time, she falls in love with Eun-seob while discovering secrets from her family that strengthens the bond she has with her mother and her aunt.

Geo's Raing: 5/5 ♥♥♥. This is my favorite comfort Kdrama. Eun-seob's shy warmth and loneliness made me want to wrap him in bubble wrap to keep him safe and I fell in love with his unwavering feelings for Hae-won. I became emotionally attached to Hae-won and her story.

[Ending] Open Happy. I feel like you can interpret it however you want. My impression was that it ended in a "happy for now" situation because Hae-won and Eun-seob promised to stay together until they didn't want to anymore and because of Hae-won's personality, I can't fully say that they'll end up together for the rest of their lives. It does end on a more hopeful note than it started.
