I AM SO SO PLEASED THAT THIS DRAMA DIDN'T DISAPPOINT ME! After watching The Bride of Habaek and being completely disappointed, I was hesitantly looking forward to this one. The last drama I watched Suzy in, I dropped after 3 episodes. But I fell in love with LJS and was excited to see these two leads together. This drama drew me in on episode 1. Rarely ever in dramas, have I ever had a first episode grip me and keep me on the edge of my seat. The attention to detail in this drama is superb. Things that happen that don't make sense in the moment, come back full circle and leave you sitting there gasping, "SO THAT'S WHAT IT WAS!" Kudos to the writers for weaving such intricate plot points. And the finale brings everything back full circle and is so satisfying. The OST in this drama is 10/10. For me, it was on par with Goblin's OST. Which is pretty hard, to be honest. I downloaded every track and even the background music. Suzy did such an amazing job with two of her singles for this ost. The whole thing has a soothing, melancholy vibe to it. It makes me feel all cozy and relaxed. The actors were wonderful in their roles. Even supporting ones. Suzy gets a lot of flak for her acting, but I really think she did a good job here. And of course, LJS did a great job as well. This drama sort of gave me W vibes since the tension is so ramped up every episode. And there are sooooo many plot twists. All brilliant. All executed at just the right moment to give it maximum impact. I don't know why there are so many negative reviews for this drama. It's a must watch of 2017 for sure. If you are hesitating about watching it, I urge you to just take a chance and see. A running theme through this drama is fate and chances. And how one choice could impact your entire life. So take a chance and just click the first episode and you may find this right up there on your top drama list.
