It would have been lovely it were more substantial in terms of the plot but yeah I think it was still perfect for a short series. I think this mainly appeals to the deep-seated, innate drives of people towards death and brutality which made it an interesting and very satisfying watch, of course, within the bounds of "justifiable" comeuppance. Retribution knows no bounds, but only to the extent of an individual's capacity to carry it out themselves.
Sad, I did not enjoy it as much as other people. It was just tedious to the core. My girl Yoon Seo did well tho, and I saw Nam Joo Hyuk in a new light!
I’m not one to rewatch things I finish, but I somehow ended up rewatching this and it remains the only drama…
Exactly!! It's so much better on rewatch. I remember not liking this drama so much before that I never recommended it ever. Probs because, as what you've said about focusing on untangling the mystery, that made the whole thing less enjoyable. But watching it with a a new perspective gave me enough head space to enjoy the whole thing. And I agree, this show is so underappreciated huhu. I wish many people would give this one another chance. It's really really worth it
This was really a beautiful series I’ll keep deep in my heart for the rest of my life. I am so glad I rewatched this one. I cannot believe I used to think they had no chemistry, when they are this realistic and adorable together. DEFINITELY UP IN MY TOP 10 LIST OF DRAMAS NOW.
First of all, Shin Minah is so dayum beautiful!! Huhu. Second, this was such a fun and lighthearted series that you can binge watch in one day. Tho I have to say that the last few eps can be a little underwhelming, it was still wrapped up pretty well nonetheless. I really love Haeyoung and Jiuk's love line. I averted this series for a long time because I thought Youngdae and Minah's pairing wouldn't work. Im so glad they proved me wrong; they became one the most memorable couple in kdramaland with one of the softest and giving off "real" chemistry. It's really really worth the watch. And the second couple are also as adorable.
I thought SHS felt so stoic in her portrayal in this drama, even in romantic scenes. Especially her eye acting, which doesn't really match the cheerful or lovely demeanor she's trying to put. I was kinda confused if it was part of her character as she grew up building all those walls, or did SHS became awkward in her acting. In the last few eps, I realized that it wasn't really until her father died that she was able to show her deep and raw emotions. And right after that, you can see the big shift in her eye acting, which answered all my doubts in the previous eps. She's just really that good!
