A Spectacular Healing Drama
I absolutely loved this drama so much!
When i first had started watching this drama, i thought it would be a melo rom-com but boy was i wrong? There was a mystery/thriller aspect of the drama that blew me away during the first 2 episodes, that is what blew me away, that only is this a psychological healing romance, it was a thriller/mystery as well. I was hooked!
This drama did so well in balancing both melo romance and the mystery/thriller aspect which i loved! The thriller/mystery aspect kind of fades a little towards the end where it doesnt really become clear for the viewers, so we have to connect the dots on our own which a lot people felt that was why it fell flat for the mystery/thriller aspect.
Now all the actors/actresses did amazing! Everyone's character had a different complex personality which is what i loved!
Yoon Park blew me away escpecially playing 2 characters who were identical twins.
The bromance and the sismance are wonderful in this drama! So many cute bromantic and sismantic moments! Bromance consists of Young Do, Seung Won and Ha Neul.
Sismance consists of Da Jeong, Ga Young and Eun Ha.
Young Do and Da Jeong were the cutest most mature couple ever and many people did not like the "break up trope" but that break up in my opinion was realistic that i am not mad that they used it. They are going in my fave couples list for sure!
The Identical twins story:
They were both abandoned by their mother and was left at a orphanage at a church, Choi Jeong Min was able to stay in Korea while as Ian Chase was adopted and went to America. The twin seprations and the resentment that Ian had been thinking that Choi Jeong Min didnt have to go through the abuse that he had to go through but once he returned to Korea when he was 18 years old, he was wrong, CJM didnt have it any better, he was abused by his step father and their mother was dead.
Ian then made a plan to get revenge on the ones who hurt them, so he manupilates his brother and the killer who wrote the "Pure Murder" book, he instigated the killings. Ian was the one who had ASPD not CJM, CJM was the good twin afterall.
This shows the toxic brother relationship these 2 had.
Ian Chase turned out to be the psycho in the end, he manipulated his own brother, instigated the murders, used his brother
He still didnt really feel guilt till later on after realizing that his brother died to protect his love and his brother. Ian manupilated his brother and instigated the killings to get revenge for what he and his twin brother have been through. This was a toxic siblings realtionship where one used the other while having ASPD. It was confirmed that Ian has ASPD in the beginning but they made it look like that CJM had ASPD when it was Ian who had ASPD all along. You can see it on episode 2 when Ian switched with CJM and confronted Young Do and was threatening him that he cant tell any of this info since he can lose his license. The file says one of the twins had ASPD and that one twin was Korean American. The trauma he went through created those guilty hallucinations.
The drama may not have been clear but if you connect the dots then it gets clearer in my opinion.
Ian ended up developing ASPD because of all the abuse he went through in his life and he ended up using brother for his own needs as well in a wrong. This shows how toxic there brotherly relationship was. If only Ian or even Choi were able to receive help, it could have been avoided.
Here is my explanation for the twins story.
This drama really teaches one of how if the help was given, people can heal. DJ and YD were able to heal by being together for each other. Ian is working on it as he decided to get to therapy sessions which is a start. CJM's death could have been avoided if only someone had reached out to him and Ian. As Ian takes the major step of getting help and willing to heal from the trauma he went through, it will make him feel less guilty of what he did to his brother.
Overall, this drama was great and is going in the my faves list now! As it was my first time watching Kim Dong Wook and Seo Hyun Jin, this drama has made me a fan of them so now imma go look for more work of theirs to watch. <3 I'd defiently recommend this drama to anyone! <3
