Love isn't really that important

It's not a drama review, it's just a messy feeling.

Before watching it, I saw a comment saying that it is recommended not to read it in one go, it will be very down. But I couldn't hold back and watched the first two seasons in one go. After watching it, I felt relieved. I feel that "love is not so important." We were too easy to accept the culture of exaggerating love since childhood. The timely enjoyment shown in "Skin" is far greater than the charm of love. Secondly, during the period, I always feel: "Damn! Why are we together so well, but we are going to mess around." After reading it, I will feel relieved. "How can it be so serious, so important. Don't take it too seriously. Although I feel relieved, I have to admit the mystery of love.
