Yoo In-na, breakup that wasn't 'cool'
ENA Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Look! 'Deborah' is showing the essence of romance that induces excessive immersion. Deborah's (played by Yoo In-na) love story, which was thought to have a happy ending, ended up on the final page stained with bloody wounds, and her daily life covered in tears aroused sympathy.
Deborah experienced the worst breakup in a relationship she believed to be more solid and perfect than anyone else. The sincere feelings shown through the narration reflected a real-life relationship, creating deep sympathy. Accordingly, we looked at Deborah's 'reality empathy' narration that even synchronized the viewers' emotions.
# “The worst tragedy and humiliating black story of my life” Deborah failed to find a ‘cool’ relationship (Episode 3)
Even Deborah, who said that dating is a strategy and gave ‘cool’ dating tips, can do nothing in the face of a breakup. Deborah began to shed tears without realizing it due to the betrayal and betrayal of her trusted lover, Noh Joo-wan (played by Hwang Chan-seong). The regret of not being able to hit him hard or give him a refreshing slap in the face, and the miserable feeling of self-destruction as if he had shown the depth of his emotions, led to self-blame. “If you cry, you lose. Even if you get excited, you lose. I should have hit it hard there. I should have slapped you in the face. Deborah's narration, "It was the worst, most tragic and humiliating experience of my life," aroused strong sympathy by showing the emotions that no one can be 'cool' in the face of a breakup.
# “After ‘I’m sorry,’ there was no more” Unavoidable expectations become regrets (Episode 3)
Immediately after witnessing No Joo-wan's affair, Deborah was unable to sufficiently express her anger or sense of betrayal. However, as he ran away from the scene, all that was left was a text message from Noh Joo-wan saying, 'I'm sorry.' Nevertheless, Deborah waited for a long time for his next words. Inside, there was a glimmer of hope to restore the relationship. However, Noh Joo-wan did not want to return to his side, and in the end, Deborah's expectations turned out to be trivial. The painful reality and unrealized imaginations condensed in one word, "'I'm sorry,' there was no more," evoked regret by clearly showing his desire to ignore the moment of separation.
# “In an instant, we became covered in blood” Lovers who became enemies, scars left by a long relationship (Episode 3)
After hearing from Deborah that he had been avoiding marriage all this time, Noh Joo-wan went to see him on his own some time later. It was an apology in name, but Deborah quickly recognized his innermost feelings, when in reality he just wanted to pretend to be a good person. Deborah exploded at the sight of him disappointing her until the end. But Noh Joo-wan also did not tolerate it. The two fought to the death, scratching each other's pride. Yesterday's lover became today's enemy. “We knew each other very well. That didn't necessarily mean I could understand it that much better. I just knew it so well that I was able to inflict fatal wounds with a minimal attack that only targeted vital points. “In an instant, we were covered in blood,” Deborah said. It was an excellent piece that pointed out the bitter end that a long-time lover can face.
# “The world is the same as yesterday, the only thing that has changed is me” The aftermath of a breakup that hits without warning (Episode 4)
After breaking up with Noh Joo-wan, Deborah's life began to be greatly shaken by the uproar over the Golden Knight bombshell remarks. Even the influencer business is being cornered by an unprecedented barrage of malicious comments. The apology didn't help much either. Deborah, who spent every day drinking and crying, went out the door for the first time in a few days. Everything around him seemed twisted, but outside it was just peaceful. Therefore, Deborah’s realization that “the world is the same as yesterday, with the sky falling and the earth not disappearing, and the only thing that has changed is me” was natural and even sad. In the midst of the aftermath, Deborah finally shed tears once again. He faced a complete failure in love and a complete fall in his career, but this also meant that he had only one way left to go. This is why more attention is focused on his story, which is just ahead of a new beginning.
