I WILL SPOIL ANYWAYS SO THIS IS THE WARNING TO ANYONE WHO ENTERS
Okayokay so it starts with this woman who doesn't know she's aroace and her family is very traditional in their view of what her life and love should look like - get bf, married, kids, etc. - and she feels gloomy around them because they shove it so hard towards her even if she doesn't really want it. And one day she is at a work thing in a store and they talk about sales events related to romantic love and she's feeling very out of place. And one of the people working there mentions that there are people who lives without Love. So she goes home, googles it, finds a blog she reads to bits and realises she's aroace. And well she also meets the owner of the blog (plot driven indeed) and asks if he want to chat w her bc its all new to her. So they go back to his bc its private topic and it ends up w she suggesting that she moves in with him and he agrees bc it might benefit them both in some ways.The womans issues was among other her fear of ending up lonely and getting her family off her back. So very typical worries. And the man had some too that I cant remember right now but the character is so lovely. I'm deceased.
So yeah you sorta have two characters now where you think only one is new and figuring out themselves w this identity rite but it turns out both of them are still figuring things out and ooof why so sweet why so wholesome. And well it addresses many like typical issues, perceptives, assumptions made about aroace ppl and how they feel about different situations, and that both characters have different preferances when it comes to what they're ok with, touch, etc. And ep1 is already going like "it's not selfish to want a family and someone to live w"
And then there's this super annoying allo halfass boyfriend which is confusing in the beginning (idk if this is a cultural thing?) but is actually quite nice in the end. And I love that even if the woman and the allobf end up breaking up bc they aren't compatible, the man is really nice about it and they stay friends. But she also has her old friend who was in love w her but left bc she couldn't stand being platonical. So it's like covering a lot of ground!!
And the male mc loves veggies , and no touch and wanted to become a farmer. And he listen to her venting trying to figure things out and first he has this "older dude w wisdom" vibe but after a while he def becomes more vulnerable and open and likes to live w her. And the SEASON FINALE HAD ME IN TEARS bc they moved apart but she stayed in his deceased grandma house which he didn't want to leave so he could pursue his dream of becoming a cabbage farmer and im like STOP DOING THIS TO ME. IT WAS SO WHOLESOME bc they'd sorta managed to become a family and even annoying allobf was somewhat in there and he got nee friends from it and realized he'd been lonely living alone and aaaa and the woman kept hanging out w xallobf as frienfs (and colleagues) and he went from trafiitonal views on Love to learning and accepting that there are different ways of life
Hehe
this sounds amazing but my kdrama wired brain would melt if they wouldnt end up in a relationship i dont think i could handle all this and no romantic love in the end
