A drama that was completely different from my first impression of it, in a good way!

I initially thought this drama was of a horror genre and steered clear of it as I do not enjoy horror. But a comment that this drama has unexpected stories intrigued me and I decided to watch it. Indeed, it was a drama where I was constantly being wowed by the way they turned scenes that I thought were going to be jump-scares into solid plots with good stories.

Story:
This drama is filled with the stories of people living in this building. Some stories are heartwarming, some disturbing. But all have a human touch to the stories and many talk about real-life issues in a way that incorporates symbolism. The story of Alex and Coco that spans the whole drama also keeps me in suspense and till now, I am still curious as to how their intertwined fates will continue in the sequel of this drama.

Acting:
Since this drama has many short stories, there are many actors. I really like how there was a constant level of good acting among the actors and this really helped to flesh out the story in a realistic and relatable manner.

Music:
You will hear the song《今宵多珍重》many many times, basically so many times it will be ingrained in your head. But even though I have heard this song so many times, I still love this old song because the lyrics are simple and relatable, such a classic oldie!

Overall a lovely drama with good, unexpected storylines for each chapter (2 episodes = 1 chapter) that will either warm your heart or make you sigh about challenges we might face in life.
