A masterpiece

Beautiful, twisted, heart-warming, thrilling, mysterious, agonizing, saddening, the list goes on. Having just completed the series, I feel a bundle of emotions. While the series can be categorized as a psychological thriller, it’s also very much about romance, love and family. Every week I kept coming back and becoming entirely engrossed in this world.

Lee Joon Gi and Moon Chae Won are some of my most favorite actors so I came in with high expectations and to be honest, they far exceeded them. Both embodied their characters so beautifully, expressing a wide range of emotions, they truly brought the characters alive. Also their chemistry was amazing.

As for the story, it was very well written, pacing was good, suspenseful, emotional and kept me engaged throughout. I also truly loved the contrast between the mystery/ thriller and romance aspects of the story. It’s not often that you see the love story of a married couple, nor the love between father and daughter. Everything about the story was wonderful. If I have to pick one flaw, I would say it is the last episode. Although it was beautiful, I felt it would have been better had the story ended at ep. 15 and the contents of ep 16 being an epilogue of sorts.

Music really played a role in tying the series together. Ost was excellent and made each and every scene even better. Feel You by Shin Yong Jae was easily the star, hauntingly beautiful just like the drama.

It was a wonderful experience watching this drama, however I don’t want to rewatch it again because the suspense element would be gone. Instead, I will remember this as one of the best dramas I’ve seen all year if not all time.

Watching this drama is a must. You don’t know what you’re missing,
