Well worth watching! Actors giving it their all!

Wanting to see more mature actors in the limelight? This baby has it all! The first episode eases you into things by partially explaining the main character's, Hwang Shi/Si-mok's (Jo Seung Woo), condition and then the we meet a man framed and his acting is so convincing, that if I was there & it were real, I'd immediately say he's not the killer - a semi-reformed thief who made the wrong choice, but not the killer. I was moved to tears by his performance and the victim's mother too. Compelling and worth watching. I love how strong, grounded & caring Bae Doo Na's character Han Yeo Jin. She's the perfect compliment to Hwang, especially the easy & beautiful smiles she draws out of him. I appreciate how Seo Dong Won's character Kim Jeong Bon was honest enough about his feelings to share his concern & how he still cared about Yoon Se Won (played by Lee Kyu Hyung). The moment voiced this near the end of the first season, it matched my own thoughts. Yoon was easily lovable, and I feel he could've not ended up like that if someone didn't use him. I just wish he got to keep his glasses... he look really hot in them <3

I also sort of expected more painful headaches because of the level of emotional turmoil around Si-Mok as well as what he directly experienced. But he's very strong, seeing him get emotional just stops everything around him, it's just that compelling. He's very human & tangible, really really love this character <3

This 1st season ended well. So well that if there wasn't a season 2, I'd be okay with it. Again well worth the watch <3
