Still Shining Episode 3 Review

Ah, we saw this coming. With Seong-chan and another girl A-sol on the screen, we knew that Eun-a and Tae-seo will meet new people only to end up together. As adult life becomes hectic, they slowly get away from each other. However, come on? Their work isn’t 24/7 man. They can literally text at night or even meet early in the morning.

Sometimes, these kind of scenes don’t feel practical but that’s what Kdramas are all about. It makes sense but also it’s mostly delulu. Anyway, in the next episode, mostly we’ll see them two meet each other on a busy monday. As their hearts rapidly beat, their Youth will feel invisible.
