A DRAMA A DAY challenge @purpleshesh
DAY 1: romance – JUST BETWEEN LOVERS
(non-spoilery reasons why you should watch it if you haven’t in the comments below!)
– It’s a beautiful story of two traumatized, lonely people finding strength and love in each other. They help one another heal and overcome their own traumatic pasts in order to build a brighter future together. It’s heartbreakingly realistic in its portrayals of grief/mourning and PTSD. I don’t think of it as melodramatic like a makjang, but it does have slower pacing and an overall pensive tone.
– I love Won Jin-ah and Junho! This is probably the best acting I’ve seen from both of them.
– Also, for once, the poor ML’s using a shitty, beat-up phone that so accurately reflected his circumstances. This is oddly something that stands out to me when I first watched this drama. 🙂
I remember noticing the last point too and that was commendable because it’s rare. They didn’t just randomly insert a ppl but showed that yeah in his circumstances he can’t afford a samsung galaxy s series.
I swear that I will watch this soon. This has been on my watch list for a long time but real life already makes me sad enough that I can’t bring myself to get hurt again.

I love this show! I should re-watch it soon.
I love Won Jin-ah’s deep voice with crystal clear diction – that’s something that’s stayed with me for a long time.
