This is a heartbreaking drama. It's also one of the best and most emotional dramas I've seen in a long time. One defining characteristic of this drama is that everything happening in it was just so crude, so spontaneous. The characters were literally deciding on their next steps as they went along - from Soo Jin and Hye Na, Soo Jin's family, the police, and even all the way to Seol Ak. This sense of unpredictability is what kept me glued to this drama.

However, what makes this drama so beautifully painful and complicated is that it left me confused as to what's right and wrong. The main characters were all doing something morally right but legally wrong, or even legally right but morally wrong. Soo Jin steals Hye Na from her parent and guardian, but saves her from future harm. Did we all literally just justify and condone kidnapping if it's for the greater good? Soo Jin's sister reports her to the police and the investigation goes public. Rightfully so and by all means report a kidnapping. But what happens to Hye Na who might've actually been saved from future harm? A lot of side characters had to step up and make big decisions, all of which tested their morality and sense of justice. Jo Han Chul and his partner were both adamant about fulfilling their roles as cops, but throughout the chase, both eventually got swayed.

Is it right to be wrong, or is it wrong to be right? Cry a bit, or cry a lot. Laugh a bit (those siblings at the barber shop / saloon), or laugh a lot (what's there to laugh at?). What I'm truly getting at is just watch this goddamn drama.
