"Some intersections in certain times are not seen with our eyes. The fact that his mere existance will make things more complicated in the future - we couldn't have even predicted it."
This was an intriguing quote from what was presumed (by me and sold to me by Rebekah) to be a fluffy Korean drama: "She Was Pretty."
Quick synopsis: Pretty girl befriends ugly fat kid who's being bullied at school. Years later, he's rich and attractive and she is not. He wants to reconnect - so she sends her pretty friend to meet with him.
It gets complicated from there (big surprise, right?)
However, the writer's theme for the story is a puzzle of an oil painting by Renoir called "Dance in the Country."
And if you can pick up on the very subtle sub-text throughout the the drama, you can enjoy a very satisfying story.
Except during the main couple's on-screen time. That was boring (to me).
Here is someone else's commentary on the story devices used here. If you don't undertsand the common tropes of K-dramas, this commentary will also give you a quick introduction.
But even if you don't read it, isn't this a great quote for life?
