Honestly, I originally found it hard to start to watch, so I dropped it within the first 4-5 episodes.

My lover convinced me to watch it with him because he said this drama is pretty good even though he seen it already, he liked it enough to convince me to watch it with him.

STORY:
It includes some very fairytale like elements in there which was cool but at the same time a little too fictitious but I just had to brush those off.

I found the story a bit boring, but the entire point of this drama is what sticks out to me.

I very much enjoyed how it shows that people act out from their unresolved traumas, which is why a person is a certain way they are today or what triggers them to be a certain way or how they react to things.

I think it gives a good message that we need to learn to reparent ourselves as adults and from the projections others did to us in the past. The people who hurt us in the past are just actually hurt people who hurt people, but people are not aware that they shouldn't take that so personally. So people go on with their lives holding on to those things or baggages. Basically get some help before you go hurt others with your hurt.

I enjoyed the depth that this drama really dives in to mention about mental health.

It was really hard for me to watch the main female lead because I find her very toxic, traumatized and projecting all her unresolved traumas at the male lead the entire drama. That was draining for me.

ACTING/CAST:
I find the female lead a bit scary. I even read articles about the actress that she is somewhat really like the character she portrays as well which is a bit scarier. It almost seems as is she is a natural at is so I'd say her acting is very impressive because of how realistic her chaotic acts could be.

The male lead is so very charming. He did a good job playing a lovely innocent guy who I really fell in love with. I'd type him as an INFJ, which are my favorite MBTI types. Kind, wise, giving, thoughtful, forgiving.

No comments on the music, I rarely remember the music since it didn't really stand out to me.

Overall, I would recommend this to others as like a way to self heal, work on their inner childs, reparenting themselves, working on their unresolved traumas, moving on without letting the past hold you back from your growth.
