Rewatch Value is 0 because once was enough. Story Value is 2 after all it's a drama with Binny. First of all, many of us had to wait until the end to write a review not because we hoped the drama would improve, but because of the rules. Basically this drama was a mess and made me cringe from the very first back flip/somersault of Robin, to Ha Na’s bland, boring character that instead of carrying a bottle of water and a book in her backpack…she carried a rope. I understand sometimes is difficult for the writing to understand where to go with the story, but given the storyline with DID, and Hyun Bin as the main lead I believed this drama had great potential. In this case the writers gave up after offering us on a plate a “dancing Gorilla”. Yes, I haven’t forgotten about THAT! I think from there they realized there was not more face to lose. And yet. The acting was bad, from Ha Jin Min emotionless face and bland personality, and her overuse “he he” guttural sound kind of laugh to Hyun Bin’s bad acting. He really couldn’t handle the two personalities, and maybe this project was too much for him to handle after the almost 2 years absence from acting. Probably if he was offered this role soon after Secret Garden we would have now a different result. Normally when I watch a drama I start to care for the characters, in this case I didn’t. All the main characters were selfish and scheming, and they lack common sense even in their scheming. I’ll summarize like this. The way hypnosis was used is laughable. The way the police force was used is laughable. The actors did not buy the characters. The audience did not buy the actors. The script was bad, and the actors were not able to overcome the lack of good dialogues, with their acting abilities. The music (which I believe is nice) was used to create emotions, but made the scenes even more bland and shallow. I will not recommend you to watch this drama, especially if you are a fan of Hyun Bin and Han Jin Min, if you do you might be disappointed.
