Better child actresses, should keep on using them

For me this drama is totally ruined by Han Ga In very bad acting. I have no idea how she could be chosen as the FL. There’s only one expression on her face through out the whole season, wide eyes stupid surprised expression. This matter become so obvious because she’s acting agains Kim Soo Hyun and playing the older version of Kim Yoo Jung. How could a child actress outperformed the older and more veteran actress. It’s so awful.

Kim Soo Hyun as ML and Yeo Jin Goo as the younger version of ML is acting very well. They portray all the conflicting emotions and layers of the character. Kim Yoo Jung as FL younger version also give a really wonderful performance. So overall, the acting in this drama is really good.

The story, hmmm... this could use a bit of improvement, cause I feel like there’s some unnecessary twist and it also rush through the last few episodes while dragging on some of the middle part. Some conflict felt like an afterthought because it’s not been explored further.

The music is good. I don’t think I’ll ever rewatch this because I cannot stand the FL cringey acting.
