Every day can be a good day
We can find happiness in the little things. That's what Wandee Goodday shows us. This series is very intimate, it has a very simple but at the same time deep plot. This story is not only reduced to a romance, but shows all the other aspects of any person's life: family relationships, professional life, internal conflicts and personal growth. It tells us about how its characters feel, their fears and insecurities, their traumas, their dreams and goals, their relationship with themselves and with others.
Not everyone may connect with this story, but I also think it can be a safe, comforting, and encouraging place for many other people. It is not a perfect series but overall it is very satisfying. In fact, for me, the original novel this series is based on pales greatly in comparison. The novel is very superficial but the series has been able to give depth to the plot and its characters and has dealt with many important topics. I really liked that they talked about sexual health and sexual games, asexuality, equal marriage and mental health.
Yak's trauma has been given the importance it deserves. And the representation they have made of that trauma has seemed very symbolic to me: we are our own shadow and our worst enemy. All the guilt and regrets, the demands, the things we don't like about ourselves or that embarrass us, take up more space the more we reject them and the more we want to hide them. The moment we accept it and face it, all of it stops having so much power and influence over us. What happens in the ring during the last fight has been emotional and liberating, as it shows us that, although this process is hard and difficult, in the end we come out stronger. And having an environment that supports you during this long process is key, as it gives you the strength you need.
Dee and Yak have been two great characters. Both are Green Flag.
Dee is sensitive, mature and empathetic. He has a big heart, greatly values the people around him and always takes other people's feelings into consideration. The fact is that Dee has little confidence in himself, he's afraid of being abandoned and he's afraid of not being valid enough to be loved. This makes it difficult for Dee to formalize his relationship with Yak. Meeting Yak really helped Dee value himself, feel loved and respected, and feel more confident. And this process has taken time, just as Yak's own process has taken time, because fears and emotional wounds do not disappear or heal overnight.
On the other hand, Yak is sensitive, respectful and affectionate. He's like a golden retriever. Meeting Dee helped Yak forgive and love himself, grow and dare to do new things.
They both support and motivate each other, care, respect and value each other. They treat each other with great softness, sweetness and tenderness. And between them there is communication, consent and mutual understanding. They have one of the healthiest relationships I've ever seen. Every gesture, every word, every look, every moment between them melts my heart. And I love the flirtation between the two, that game of tug of war.
Great and Inn have managed to convey many emotions to me and with their interpretations I have been able to feel all the love and desire that exists between Yak and Dee.
I also liked the secondary couple. Oyei had to fight a lot and sacrifice to move the family business forward and to help his little brother fulfill his dreams. He had to assume a role that did not correspond to him and was subjected to many pressures and many burdens. I'm glad he has someone like Cher by his side, someone strong to help him carry the load, support him and understand him.
The only aspect that has not completely convinced me has to do with Dr. Ter and the ending they gave him. Otherwise, I loved this series and, in the end, it has become one of my comfort series. It has given me a lot of happiness every week. I'm going to miss this series and its characters a lot.
