#if you reading this are planning any MLN fanfics pls make yourself known to me - I'm gonna struggle to let go of this show 😆

[plum-on-your-back]

I was already a Lee Min-ki fan (Because It's My First Life is one of my top 3 dramas) but I really love the different kind of character he got to play with Chang-hee, having only really seen him play stoic characters. He really embodied the character's loud boyish excitement, while also giving us a quieter, giving side.

I haven't seen much of EL's work up until now but she is an absolutely amazing actress. It's weird to say but she's one of the best criers I've seen put to television. I, too, have sobbed my heart out on a nearly empty bus. She really made me feel everything her character felt and owned every scene she was in.

I'm now a Son Seok-koo fan for sure. He is a master of conveying emotions with his eyes. He can say so much without uttering a word. I really fell for the character of Mr Gu. His sense of hopelessness was palpable, but the way his eyes lit up for Mi-jeong was unmistakable.

And of course, Kim Ji-won is now my Queen of micro expressions, and acting when there are few words to be said. She really let us into Mi-Jeong's head. We got to go with her on her long, sometimes painful, journey from a reserved, exhausted person, to someone who has become more comfortable in herself and able to hold onto even a few seconds of happiness.

I can't wait to watch future and past projects from this insanely talented cast. This show gave me more than 7 seconds of joy, and I'm going to miss it terribly. I feel sad it's over but I do feel a sense of wholeness.
