Drama Digest
A fan letter has caused popular actress Han Gang-Hee (Sooyoung) to experience the worst crisis of her career. Yoon Park’s character, Bang Jung-Seok, is a single parent who has raised his daughter by himself. His leukemia-stricken daughter has a request. Bang Jung-Seok is eager to fulfill his daughter’s request.
The Feel-Good Part
A welcome change from the many thriller k-dramas we’ve seen this year. Although there are just 4 episodes, it moves quickly and is a blast to watch! I really enjoyed this scene when Yoon Park is a single father and Sooyoung is a famous actress. There was chemistry. The entire ensemble did a fantastic job acting. Excellent writing and production values. The back stories of the characters were explored, which helped to make the show credible and entertaining. It’s a sweet, easy, and light Korean drama. The music in the background is just enjoyable.
The Disappointing Factor
The only disappointing factor is the short duration of the drama series. Even though they wrapped everything well in the four episodes, it would not have hurt to have made it a bit longer by adding two more episodes, but it might not have been the same good drama series that it is if it were ten or twelve episodes long.
In-Depth Analysis
Han Kang Hee is a top-tier actress who has been performing since she was a little girl. Her self-esteem starts to decline as a result of the stress of being a big performer, and negative remarks about her drama become more frequent. She avoids fan letters as well because of the hardship their remarks have created. She happens to cross paths with her first love, Jung Seok, at this difficult time. Formerly a popular student, he is now the only parent of a sick child. His daughter, Yu Na, expresses her admiration for Kang Hee in a fan letter. Kang Hee doesn’t get her letter, so Jung Seok responds in its place. A unique fan letter serves as the beginning of Kang Hee’s tale of her first love and a devoted fan.
Star Power
Yoon Park (ML) and Choi Soo Young (FL) have decent chemistry—it’s not blazing hot, but it’s decent. They do a good job of portraying their roles, and I support them both. Due to the drama’s short running time, I will have to be content with the few flashback sequences I did get of them in high school. Although they were genuine, their circumstances did not feel unduly hopeless or realistic. This may be the least severe form of the trauma and difficulties they are experiencing; I suppose. There aren’t many adorable and cuddly sequences, and the relationship develops somewhat slowly. It is, in my opinion, fluffier and more mature. The presents ML planned for FL in the last episode are the loveliest aspect of their courtship. They are really imaginative, kind, and considerate.
Overall Opinion
This drama is perfect if you are looking for a short drama that you can complete in one sitting by binge watching.
