Perhaps that is why it is a series that can be enjoyed by young and old alike, as well as people in/out of relationships as they address questions regarding love and marriage.topics that have been talked about since the beginning of time. These are topics, themes, and even questions that are addressed throughout the run of this series. Any relationship that takes on this idea is already doomed to fail. You cannot give what you do not have, and too often, we unfairly and unrealistically make our partner responsible for our happiness. It can only be found if you already have that happiness, and you are ready to share that with someone else. Happiness in marriage can never be found in your partner. And, yes, it IS work! People also marry for the wrong reasons: to prevent having to be alone, to feel a sense of completion and well-being by being with someone. Yes, marriage is the beginning, not the end. Marriage is not for everyone, and too often, couples treat it as the Finish Line rather than the Starting Gate. Too many people, due to the pressures of parents, society, and religion (sometimes all three!) believe that marriage is the only way to be happy. Is it enough to marry only for love? Is it foolish to marry without any compatibility or shared interests? Sometimes, they resort to quotes from famous authors, and other times, they speculate on their own. Along the way, the narrator, often Ji-ho and sometimes Se-hee ponder what love and marriage are, what their purpose is, and how to best make it work.

It is also fairly light without any big emotional twists that, too often, are typical of these kinds of shows. This K-Drama works well because it doesn't get bogged down in needless melodrama, and it presents six characters that-on some level-nearly everyone can relate to. We also have characters who are too afraid to love for fear of being hurt. Most everyone has been in similar positions: getting together out of convenience, loving someone whose ambitions are greater and perhaps even different than your own, or loving someone who doesn't share the same feelings that you do. The more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite." It is highly likely that, as a viewer, you will be able to relate with one or more of the characters of this drama. I personally believe Shakespeare described love the best when Juliet states, "My bounty is as boundless as the sea. And true love is completely unconditional. You know it's there, but you can't really grasp it. Some have given us exceptional and even beautiful depictions. How many plays, books, songs, TV shows, and films have been made about love over the centuries? Too many to count, I'd wager.
