Okay, I feel robbed but I still cannot hate this series. Don’t know how or why but it became one of my favorite ones (despite the dubious moral and actions of some of the characters).

I think it had the potencial to be so much more (I’ve read they changed writers around episode 10 and that’s when things started to go south) but I still enjoyed it.

I got really invested in the plot and the characters, the actors made a great work portraying them and working with the messy script they were dealt.

I specially loved Soo Hyuk’s character, he’s the one (or should I say the only one?) that shows some growth and that faced the wrong things he did and tried to fix them. Plus LSH is one of my favorite actors so I was really happy to see him acting again (and it makes me sad the series ratings weren’t good).

I liked Jong Beom too, even though he had some serious issues I felt he tried to change and learn about others (not just about Sa Bin), you can see this with his hyung and SB’s uncles and even with SH.

I still think he needs therapy and try to lead a calm life so he can heal from so many bad things that happened to him (not just to “fall in love” and be “cured” out of nowhere).

In my opinion, Sa Bin’s character was the one that suffered the most from the bad writing. I loved her at the beginning but then her “naïveté” and refusal to face reality were just too much.

The OST was amazing (specially “Fate”).

All in all, I liked the series. The ending wasn’t what I wanted (and that epilogue is pretty vague) but I can’t say I regret watching this.

Now a little rant about the ending to finish, they are spoilers so you’ve been warned.

-SPOILERS AHEAD-

I feel robbed because I thought SH was the lead (the whole series felt like that) but at the end he wasn’t and he ended up alone even after the drama spent all that time showing us how much he and SB/HE loved each other and how they were meant to be.

So what was all that about being together even in the next life and loving each other until the end??? That’s the only thing I can’t forgive the writer for and what ruined the ending for me.

In my head SH and SB ended up happily married and JB went to therapy, found something worth living for (something other than his obsession/love for SB) and now he’s happy too.
