Real life (and love) is imperfect

I've never bothered to write a review but there are too many negative ones on here, and if I had listened to them I wouldn't have watched this show and would've missed out on something really great. So, let me add another positive one to the mix.

I understand that people feel a certain way, disappointment or frustration - but the characters are human! The flaws of each made the show feel so much more real. You don't live life as a perfect strong lead, a great communicator, someone who knows themselves and what they want. You learn after making questionable choices along the way. This lack of communication and understanding, giving into your emotions, making mistakes, looking your fears in the face, these are all key to growing and these characters slowly stumbled through it all like real, normal people.

**spoilers from here on***

I liked when the show flipped from Nabi's inner monologue, to Jae-On's at the halfway point. You come to realise that we might know what Nabi wants as we've been living in her head, but he doesn't. It changes the way you think of him. Is he really a bad guy for seeing other girls when they were just FWB? Does he even seem to know what he wants when he's trying to find the best way to address the loneliness he grew up with? Nabi is the same.

The symbolism of the artwork, Nabi's character a butterfly personified, the flipping of roles between Nabi/JaeOn and Bitna/Nam Gyu, the sunbaes, the LGBT storyline that was so beautifully and respectfully done, THE MUSIC *claps* *claps* *claps* Amazing.

With the ending....it would've been wrong for Nabi to be with Potato Boy. She never liked him romantically, it was Jae-On that was in her heart the whole time.

I think the ending shows that sometimes you really need to just go for what you want, and they did it eyes open, knowing it could still go sour, but in that moment, they chose each other. They came together not because of fate, childhood memories, dangerous super natural events, they just found the person who makes their heart beat a bit quicker, and they choose to see where it could go. I thought it was beautiful.
