The Third Charm (continued)

Much of the show is about power imbalances in relationships. Who confesses first? Who loves more? Who is willing to sacrifice more? There is SO MUCH symbolism in this show, some profound dialogue & 1 scene involving an apology, forgiveness & reconciliation with no dialogue - just beautiful. Seo Kang Joon can tell a story with his eyes.

Many didn't like the ending. It's one where, if you follow the symbolism & where the leads are in their lives, it makes complete sense. If you hadn't been looking for clues, you might be disappointed. I want to go back & catch all the things I missed when I was hating it. It may seriously become 1 of my favorite heart-wrenching dramas.

The Third Charm
(2018 - Netflix, 16 1:15 eps)

Wow!
It has a 6.7 rating on MDL, so I had been putting off watching, even though I enjoy Seo Kang Joon's acting. After I saw Esom in another drama, I thought I'd try.

Around eps. 4 I was going to drop it, which I rarely do. I hated the main characters. But I kept going: 1) I had seen the leads' work before & couldn't believe they would have accepted parts like this. I was right. The characters improve so much. 2) Part of this drama is set in Portugal. I am visiting in a few months & I wanted to see it through a kDrama lens. Totally worth it - so beautiful!

The FL has a lot of tragic things happen in her life, one of which hit close to home for me & caused a lot of crying - therapeutic.
