Hmm.. NO

I loved the first couple episodes because SHIN HYE SUN (obviously, I will watch everything she's in because she's incredible), the cinematography is actually amazing, and to be fair the premise is good. I like that FL is average, just like most of us out there (she's probably being portrayed a bit below average tbf), she's not amazing, a bit broken and struggling. She's also definitely depressed even before the DID came into picture.

It has so much potential and the first few episodes brought my hopes right up there. But it's not going good at all. Maybe we'll slowly find out how FL deals with her illness and maybe it will get better but well.. I'm just bringing my hopes back down now.

This drama is just too slow to my liking.. yeah yeah a story about growth bla bla..

Very few things happen in each episodes though..

It hints at a mature adult relationship but their behaviour and actions are all very irrational and dramatic for no reason.

I wish they explore the illness more, and i don't know - like take it more seriously? Is it really DID or a severe form of depression? You don't just says yeah I've got DID and made those mistakes when I was this other person? And then keep pretending to be Hyeri although that was what resulted in the dissociative identity in the first place? And the 2ML just wants to be with the other personality knowing its born out of an illness? ML over-exaggerating his situation and trying to 'protect' FL from the 'troubled life' with him is also absolute nonsense. And then they (FL and ML) just stare out at each other in every single episode for no reason instead of actually talking like real adults.

Honestly, I'd rather she doesn't end up with either MLs and could just be happy being herself (not Hyeri) without either men.

I will keep on watching because, like I said, Shin Hye Sun.

Add on after finishing:

Reduced the rating from 8.0 --> 6.0

The last two episodes was like a completely different drama. Her trauma, depression and dissociative identity was completely cured because she got back with the toxic ML. Throw in a random new issue and that too get solved with a hug, all is happy and well. My god, what a disaster.

Shin Hye Sun did her best but nothing could have made this better when the story itself is a shamble.
