Absolutely stunning!

I started watching this drama when it started airing. From the beginning until the end, throughout the weeks, I stayed curious. This series is SO addictive.

I want to talk about 3 main points in this story: The story itself, the characters and the music.

The story:
The story was so beautifully executed. It's about a woman haunted by her past and her family. The male lead and his brother are connected to her past. And it's mostly about overcoming your fears and growing to do what you want to do and not let the past ruin your future. The lessons in this story are so important and by adding different elements like illustrations, the autistic brother and a closed off, almost psychotic, woman.. you'll learn the lessons on the most beautiful and heartwarming way ever.
The mother of the female lead is absolutely haunting and psycho and the father of the female lead is someone you can somewhat have different feelings about.
The story kept me on my toes.. like constantly. It kept me wondering about the story and the story kept me guessing.

The story summarized in words: haunting, heartwarming, thrilling, heartwarming, stunning and funny.

The characters:
First of all, the actors are absolutely gorgeous! The male lead is so good in conveying the feelings of his character. You can sympathize with him and understand his actions which is important as a watcher. You can also understand why the male lead is so closed off with his feelings while watching the story evolve.
The female lead is freaking amazing! Not only is she gorgeous, snatched around the waist with an amazing style of fashion... She is absolutely hilarious and even though she's a bit crazy... She is also relatable. The actrice is very good at conveying the right emotions, loved it!
The brother of the male lead is autistic and haunted by his past. The actor does such a good job acting like an autistic person. Sometimes it was a bit too (with the stuttering.. I don't know if it's usually this much.. but I think they could've switched more between fluent sentences and stuttering or not finding the right words) but I guess they tried to show an heavily autistic person. However, the characteristics of an autistic person were well conveyed. The brother really added more to the sentiment. And I love that they are trying to show off more kinds of people. Everyone has their own struggles and things and that was so well portrayed in this drama.
The side characters were either funny, scary/creepy or just really sweet. Loved them all.

The music:
Absolutely amazing! I personally really like Puzzle from Yongzoo. All the music is either touching or well fitting into the story with a fantasy and mysterious kinda vibe. Which is logical since the female lead is a writer of fantasy children books. So well fitting!

I personally loved it. I would rewatch this story just to be able to watch it at once instead of waiting weekly. Also, the actors had such great chemistry.

Ps. I would honestly also just rewatch it for the female lead 'cause she is stunning, has amazing taste, she is funny and just... I could look at her face and fashion for hours.
