"Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films" -Bong Joon Ho
They don't make cinematic experiences like this often, you know, when words & their depictions generate emotions that those very words fall short to express. This series does and will continue to hold a special place in my heart, for laying life as brutal and as beautiful as it can be. Who doesn't love an escapade from the misery of our daily monotony, the tedious job of actually having to 'live', but seldom do you come across experiences that give your life philosophies a 180° jolt. This series did that for me, it put an end to my quest for rosy getaways from the humdrum. It introduced me to the concept known as 'Jeong' in Korean culture. It's more than love, more than just a simple affection that you can express in words. It arises from a sense of collective social responsibility and is not just restricted to human connections but an attachment that can best be understood only by our individual consciences. The pace of the series is so life like and its characters may just seem like your next door neighbours irrespective of the vast bridge of cultural differences. The continuous tussle of striking a balance between work, personal relations and inner peace, is a jouney that each character takes along with discovering and holding onto their inner strengths. It teared me, made me hopeful, disappointed me and then got me back up chuckling. It told me outright & loud, that it's okay to fall & lie on that empty road for moments that may be as split as blinks in a story and as elongated as all your collective memories flashed together, but it's equally important to get up from that lonely path & walk a mile further till you have your peace in vision. You don't just owe it yourself but to all the people too, who are connected to you by that unfathomable notion of Jeong. P.S. Remember to, "be brazen & think about yourself, you're allowed to do that." -with love, from India.
