Quirky but grows into wholesomeness

I really didn't know what to expect going into this drama, but I came out pleasantly surprised.

All of the characters were interesting and my favourite would have to be Sang-tae. He is the sweetest man. I thought the actor did such a great job playing his part. I was very impressed. There were quite a few scenes with him where I cried or was close to crying.

I also liked Mun-yeong - she was obviously troubled by her past, but her character was like nothing I'd seen before so it was refreshing to watch.

Gang-tae - ugh, my baby! Like his brother, he is also very sweet, and very handsome too XD. I liked the relationship he shared with his brother and how he encouraged Mun-yeong to get along with Sang-tae and become his friend. Sang-tae and Mun-yeong's bond became so pure and wholesome.

The story was definitely interesting although it may have seemed a little slow in the beginning. To begin with I was like, "this girl is CrAZy!" But as the story progressed, we understood her unique and obscure nature. At the same, we also saw her grow as a person - becoming more warm as she and Gang-tae began to love each other, and also just how she was with Sang-tae.

I don't know if this was meant to be obvious/was obvious to everyone else, but I had a suspicion of the nurse who turned out to be Mun-yeong's mother. Especially when she was getting close to Sang-tae. Once it was revealed that she was Mun-yeong's mother, it all made sense with her father and the patient who went to Mun-yeong's house to wish her a happy birthday. Also, that actress just has a scary look about her. I don't know, I just got a vibe.

I still don't understand her reason for killing Gang-tae and Sang-tae's mother, like she is just an evil bitch! Their mother was only showing concern for Mun-yeong but that butterfly crazy lady did NOT like it, so she killed her!? I guess if you're a psychopath that's what you're going to do, but my God that is horrific.

The music was definitely interesting for this show, but I liked the quirky vibe - it went so well.
