From the Korean drama "Love and Profit"
韓国ドラマ「愛と、利と」から

I watch a lot of Korean dramas.

I mostly watch old dramas from a few years ago.

Since I subscribed to Netflix, I've had more opportunities to watch new dramas.

I've avoided romance-focused dramas.

Even when I try to watch one, I usually end up quitting after the first or third episode.

This time, I watched with the same impression until about the middle of the second episode.

Even when I got to the third episode, I was getting more and more annoyed.

When I was about to give up, I thought, "Something's not right."

A story about being at the mercy of fate in such a small world...?

At first, I was following the story as if it were a game where the pride of men and women collide.

But something seemed different.

Is there some big intention behind it?

And then, I started to wonder how the story would end.

Of course, I also wondered about the intentions and thoughts of the director and producers about this drama.

This made me wonder about how we perceive time and our hearts.

Normally, in life, people connect time and their hearts vertically, synchronizing them.

This is because we are led to believe that time flows from the past to the future.

But what if time flows horizontally?

If that is the case, the place where you are standing flows horizontally along with time, and your heart has no choice but to flow along with it.

If you follow this phenomenon (story), the two people's love (game) will be carried further and further out to sea, and if they continue like this, they will end up in the open sea where they will never be able to meet again (although it seems there is a place on Earth where they will eventually meet).

If you think about it like that, the happy ending (conclusion) of this drama seems a little rushed and like a way to make things add up.

This is because they were forced to forcibly pull together the story of their separation, which was about to be carried out to sea, by the thread of fate.

Was the ending, as if nothing had happened, the (eventful dream) that the two had?

It may be ok for two people who fall in love normally and are united to have such a dream.

If the two had ended up breaking up, fans watching at home would have been outraged, and of course there would have been phone calls of protest, and someone would have had to overturn the table.

It is difficult to compromise in an entertainment drama.

The more you challenge yourself, the more difficult it becomes.

The hectic feeling in the final chapter may have been because they were forced to bring back verticality in time and in the hearts of the characters.

I never thought that the story (world) of entropy would emerge in this way.
