What I like about it is that it never reveals too much, yet it doesn't leave the viewer in the dark. Also, the characters' development is very well and realistically done. All of the characters are facing real problems both in the past and present. Music accompanies the movie in such a subtle way, yet emphasizes the emotion in different situations. All of the actors were great and I can't wait to see more of them, since this is the first time I am seeing the most.
The only thing i selfishly wish is that there was more. I wish I could see more of some characters' backgrounds. But that would probably do the movie more harm than good.
To conclude this review, I definitely recommend seeing this movie and I hope that you will enjoy in it as much as I did.

For me, the good sides of this movie are it's comedy relief, it's pace and acting. Even though it has some really creepy and even disturbing scenes that are surrounding the movie's plot, they didn't make them the sole center of the movie, but at the same time comedy and romance didn't make them any less creepy. Horror scenes were done really well in my opinion and made me feel uncomfortable, but comedy relief and movie's self awareness at times made this movie hilarious! I laughed a lot at some scenes cause they were unexpected, I like that type of comedy. The actors portrayed their roles quite well and a lot of times their reactions, especially laughing, felt really genuine. I think that made me sympathize with them more.
As for the things I didn't quite like is the story itself. It was a new concept for me, but it didn't quite stick to me, especially at the end. The story had such a nice pace and it was interesting, but the last 20-30 minutes felt so forced to me. And yet, at the end I felt like nothing was resolved, I didn't feel any satisfaction of a rounded up story. It felt like they just dismissed some problems that were present throughout movie without really solving them.
To conclude this review, I recommend you to watch this movie cause it's fun and the way it mixes different genres is very interesting.

The beginning was a bit odd for me, it kinda seemed forced so, to be honest, I was in dilemma if i should continue watching it. It was hard to sympathize with some characters, especially MinHyuk, and that all bothered me. But I am so glad that I have continued cause after first two or three episodes drama really starts a new pace and becomes more than interesting, you could say addicting. That pace changes as the drama goes so sometimes some parts feel a bit slow and some a bit fast, but more often it's just right.
Every person has a reason for acting the way they are, even tho it's sometimes stupid or pitiful it's the best they know. You should have in mind that characters don't know everything that we know as watchers and that their judgement is limited to that. I like that drama is written that way, it engaged me into the story even more. Actors did an amazing job in portraying their characters and their development.
What I personally really liked about this drama is it's comedy relief. Because of the heavy story it was much needed and I would say it was very well done. If some of those characters were a bit more developed it would have been even better.
Music was also fantastic, very immersive, especially symphonic OSTs. It was well placed and it filled up the silence perfectly.
There is this other thing that i minded and that affected the overall score i gave it quite a bit, and if you are going to watch it, you may notice, or have noticed like I did if you have already completed it. The editing of some scenes feels a bit off. Some scenes are prolonged by adding shots one on top of the other from other angles and that made them feel awkward, or just very wrong at times, even tho i don't think that's the feeling that they were going for. That's the main reason why i couldn't give this drama 9 or more.
With all that being said I would just like to add once again that I've really enjoyed watching it, it has a good plot and I recommend it.
