A gynecologist gives the impression that she has embraced her single, professional life. But inside, she bears the scars of an accident that happened seven years ago and tore her family apart. That accident has left her feeling a lonliness and guilt that she refuses to show to anyone; even those closest to her. But when she meets a handsome musician, he immediately recognizes her lonliness and sees in her a kindred spirit. But he has a secret of his own that could drive them apart if he doesn’t find a way to open up to her honestly.

‘Love Me’ is a slice of life romantic drama.  It focuses on a family that is forced to pick up the pieces after a severe trauma. The family relationships are complex and raw. This drama manages to be heartwarming and gentle while also being  painfully honest and realistic. The message is that life and love are messy, but there is joy in the moments. I enjoyed the way the love stories were spread across all three family members, giving us great pictures of love at different life stages.

But this drama is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is slow moving and tackles some difficult and painful issues. At times it is emotionally heavy and the characters are not always likable or relatable.This is not the sunshine and rainbows of the rom-com world. But I liked the emotional rollercoaster of these troubled characters and their journey to acceptance.  I give ‘Love Me’ an 8 out of 10 ramen.
