The second chance aspect of the story intertwined with revenge was a refreshing and original concept for me. I found it captivating and entertaining, despite having seen some snippets on YouTube shorts and Instagram. I was hooked from episode 1 to 11, eagerly watching every moment without skipping a second. However, as the story progressed into episodes 12, 13, and 14 with the introduction of Oh Yu ra, I started to anticipate a twist.
When the second half of episode 11 began, I sensed that something significant was about to unfold, especially considering there were still several episodes left until the finale. It's uncommon for a Kdrama to have six episodes of pure bliss without any major plot developments. As a result, I found myself selectively watching scenes where the main leads were on screen.
Initially, I was unsure about Oh Yu ra's role in the story, but her reckless behavior on a busy street in episode 14 hinted at her significance. It became evident that she served as a sacrificial lamb for the male lead's journey, though I couldn't help but feel she was somewhat unnecessary, perhaps due to her annoying demeanor.
Furthermore, the characterization of the male lead's grandfather left me a bit puzzled. While it was clear he cared deeply for his grandson, his inconsistent stance on his love life confused me. There were moments where he seemed supportive, yet others where he appeared to contradict himself.
Nevertheless, I must commend Park Min Young's outstanding performance in this series, and Song Ha Yoon's transformation from sweet Seol Hee into the evil character Jung Soo Min. Additionally, it was refreshing to see Lee Yi Kyung and Na In Woo for the first time. Lee Yi Kyung's depiction of the dumb and lazy character was spot-on, while Na In Woo's portrayal of the cold, expressionless persona suited the role perfectly.
Overall, the series was enjoyable from episodes 1 to 11, as well as episodes 15 and 16. The unique blend of revenge with the concept of second chances kept me engaged throughout. It made me reflect on the idea of having second chances in life, leaving me wishing for such opportunities in real life.
