The Greatest Love- [mslee's thoughts]






A chanced meeting between a top star actor [celebrity] and a has been star from an idol group that already disbanded 10 years ago surrounded by scandals. A series of unfortunate encounters that somehow led to developing a deeper feeling towards each other. Cha Seung Won's character [Dokko Jin] is an arrogant, successful actor who firstly denied what he truly felt for Gu Ae Jung [Gong Hyo Jin] but because of her inner beauty and her humble character who not only thinks of herself but tried protecting those around her made Dokko Jin finally succumb to her charm. 



I watched this story patiently and after a while, the characters appeal finally grew on me. A romantic comedy  that made me laugh, but at the same time, tugged my heart. I first saw Cha Seung Won in a spy drama where he played the villain and he was a good actor, but seeing this lighter side of him, his charm is truly amazing. As for Gong Hyo Jin, she played a plain character, not emphasizing her beauty, and yet she shines. Her simple character represents those who struggled everyday just doing their work to make it each day while protecting her love ones and being a good friend, not betraying them even though she would have to suffer the consequences. A misunderstood person.



There were some highlights in the story but my favourites were when Gu Ae Jung at last admitted her feelings to Dokko Jin and when Dokko Jin in an interview revealed her feelings for Gu Ae Jung despite the antis or the   fans reactions. 

This story somehow reveals the BTS or what happens inside the world of celebrities. And it's amazing when you find that special love amidst the chaos and bright lights that surrounds you. Because after all, when night time comes and the spotlight has turned off, you are just one of the normal human being and you also need love from someone who will make you feel different and true as a person.

I think that this story  tells it and fame is not the ultimate thing that can make you happy.
