It is perfect, but there's an "if"
11 April 2024
I liked the premise of the show. There aren't many kdramas or cdramas that involve army or special units and have full on romance as well. So this premise reminded me of descendants of sun. And it is similar to it in few ways as well, but the two shows are quite different and this one stands on it's own in a perfect way, all to the two amazing leads who have become one of my favourite onscreen couple.

But there's a big if, atleast to me. I didn't really like the other two couples stories, it was very predictable and most of the time not emotional enough for me to engage, so I started skipping scenes pertaining to those 2 couples. Which also helped me cut down the length from 40 to probably 32-33 episodes, and thus made this drama absolutely perfect for me.

Why this show is amazing? The two leads have done a perfectly fabulous jobs in portraying their characters and writers as well did quite good in making these characters.

I absolutely fell in love with these two. Like they were fierce and adamant and serious with everyone else and at their jobs, but as soon as they see each other, they are just the two most cute adorable loving matured couple. And they brought all these emotions and feelings to the screen so aptly. To me personally, I loved how mature they were, they don't waste time in realising their feelings, instead of avoiding them they act upon their feelings without giving up, as they date, they keep falling for each other more and more and with that the love and trust between them is just impeccable. The understanding they have is admirable. As a young adult, I love these kind of relationships portrayals a lot more, where lead couple handle their issues by talking them out and trusting and believing in their partners and don't give up on each other. A lot of dramas miss such good aspects.

Both leads acted out well. FL is just so adorable, the way she laughs and giggles and cries and voice breaking when she cries, is just so natural, she's a good actress. And the role here was perfect for her. She wasn't tactless, was very thoughtful and kind and understood ML reasons, despite being disappointed or hurt. It was just amazing and matured.

ML did okayish, by acting means, but he brought out the contrast in his characters very well, being a swat team leader, he was fierce and threatening and then he'd see and meet his girlfriend FL, and would just turn into a cute lovable puppy, watching this side of the character you wouldn't believe that he can kill you a dozen times in less than 6 seconds. I absolutely loved his character, not at all cocky or rude or arrogant, very understanding.

If you as a viewer find the other 2 couple tedious, then skip them. Apart from this, I had no issues with the show, bgm and ost was decent as well.

I'll definitely recommend this Cdrama to everyone.
