This drama started well... but then halfway through the series for some reason, the production thinks that it was wise of them to CHANGE the main writer and have the FL being too sympathetic to the Psycho Dude and be very unkind to the person she's supposed to be more in love with and destroyed the drama. The only reason I'm still watching this drama is for Cha Hyungbin/Kim Soohyuk. Seriously, nothing else matters in this drama besides Soohyuk.

Seriously I don't get how Sabin could be so dumb and inconsiderate. Like even if she was trying to be so trusting in the good of people, I don't get how she could be so forgiving to someone who stalks her and acts like a psycho yet can be so biased to Soohyuk who might be a bit unforgiving towards anyone who had a history of criminal actions just because of that one moment where he messed up a bit due to some misunderstanding. Not saying that Sabin's character can't be very unrealistic; like it's understandable that she might feel confused about her own feelings towards the two men for the fact that there were some 'deja vu' she had with Jicheol where actually from Haeeun's memories of Hyungbin. Even then, her treatment of Soohyuk was much too biased for someone who's supposedly trying to see good in everyone around her.

Like seriously, I thought this drama was aiming to reunite a pair of lovers in their second life after dying prematurely over an unjust death. But No. It went off the charts in a really BAD way.

Somehow I wonder just how much of the plot had diverted from the original plan for the writer in this series. Like I heard how in the middle of the series there's somehow a change in the main writer thus one of the main reason this drama took in the stupid ridiculous direction. Yet even then I wonder about what part was still following the original scripts before the writer change obliterated it. Like tbh, I feel that Soohyuk/Hyungbin's plot was the only one that remained intact from the original writer's plan as his part of the story was the ONLY one that remained consistent as the rest of the plot went downhill just so that the second main writer could make the psycho dude be paired with the FL.

Tl;dr, unless you don't mind watching having your expectations of what a good story could turn out be destroyed during the next half of the plot, don't watch this show. Or you can be like me who had stuck around till the end because the second male lead was your ONLY salvation inside this drama. Like seriously, Lee Soohyuk was still the only good thing about this drama. I mean, as much as the mystery/crime plot seemed interesting at first... all that went to drain as apparently whoever has been brought in to replace the original writer cannot for the life of them write any engaging crime or court scene to make it believable and only focusing on love plot.
