Reviews
Eventful
I personally gave this show seven stars but even I think that’s too high. Without the actors this show would not be as good.The story is really eventful and there isn’t a dull moment but that’s not always good. Events are happening back to back and it’s hard to digest the plot. Even when they stretch out an event, three “plot twist” would come up.
My next issue is the romanticization. They romanticized a lot of harmful behaviors and put pushed it away with montages of cute moments. Whenever a character did something wrong, the very next episode they would receive sympathy points.
Besides that I loved the music and cast. They played their roles so well, I genuinely hated half of the characters. If you aren’t triggered easily and like the actors, I would recommend it. A lot went on but I was very entertained the whole time.

I feel like the story was mostly about a mentally unstable woman who throughout the story, became increasingly more so. In bits and pieces, we get glimpses into what’s happened in her past to make her this way. And in her mental instability, she hurts the person she cares about the most, thinking she is doing what is best for that person.
I think if the story was better presented than her being an obsessive, crazy woman going on a rampage against everyone who dares to help Sai escape from her, the story would have been more palatable. I think they tried, but the delivery just wasn’t quite there for me personally.
The last two episodes tie in everything pretty well. I originally gave this a 5 rating due to the earlier ending spoiler, but I’m changing that, because I’m ok with the end they eventually go with. I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it either.
Cris nailed this role.
Zani slays the OST as always. The lyrics to the OST does an exceptional job of embodying Rungrong.
The cast did a wonderful job.
