I’m actually kind of sad I didn’t like “road home” as much as I wanted to. It just didn’t do it for me. It was way too slow burn and even though I think the pairing between jing boran and tan songyun was great, in my mind boran has always been kind of goofy... so I would’ve wanted them to be in something much more laid back and romcom-esque, even though I appreciate his sentiment when he was describing the hook of the show. he basically said that it’s not always realistic for a romantic relationship to recover from a break up, and in order for two people to meet again, and still hold onto the love they’d had is very hard yet can be very beautiful. I felt that your honor, and that’s exactly what they tried to showcase in road home. two people that loved each other so much, and despite breaking up still found comfort in one another after decades of not seeing or speaking to each other. I look at this drama just on paper and I think it’s revolutionary but when I actually watched it I never once got into it. the behind the scenes where boran is joking around with songyun which is him in his actual element honestly was often times more interesting and riveting than the show itself. so basically two of my favorite actresses were kind of in flop dramas (for me personally) but I’m being brave about it
