Watched it in two days. Now I am actually sad I've finished it so quickly!
AAAH I LOVED IT. I would definitely rewatch it.
OCN never disappoints.

Descent acting but the plot felt forced by not so smooth plot developpement
it started with promising outcome, but I feel like the "crime, mystery" part got lost in the "romance" part...a bit too much. It felt like forcing "love" emotions into a script about someone getting killed...or vice versa? it wasn't the best drama but it also wasn't the worst imo. I was expecting a bit more of suspense x mystery but 50%+ of the episodes are about the rich kids bullying the poor kids and the adults being useless. The character developpement was poorly done imo. In all, it was Hera who I ended up liking more because she actually did have a character developpement that made sense. The others got lost into a useless love triangle...this was what f*cked up the plot imo. It was really pointless...and it took A LOT of space whilst In Han's tragic death –which I thought was the point of the story at first– took a good whole 15-20 minutes of screentime lol they kept showing the same scenes for most episodes about him getting hit by a car and his brother, Kang Ha, was getting no where during his so called "investigation". It was just him fighting with the rich and ending up getting beaten...like...idk who so say this 7 episodes made no sense BUT couldve make sense if not for that useless love triangle. so many unresolved issues...gave it a 4.5/5

Lots and lots of dragging situations...but good story with not-so-sweet-but-sweet romance
++THE PRINCE WHO TURNS INTO A FROG++***SPOILERS: I WRITE THINGS THAT HAPPENS BUT DON'T SAY NAMES, EXCEPT AT 2.***
1. Idk about others, but I personnally DO NOT like those damn scenes where they do flashbacks over flashbacks! And let met tell you this drama has A LOT of those! It's not really necessary and just adds more useless length to the episodes...
2. Now, about the plot...it's overall a great plot, BUT what could've been done in 1 episode extands to 2-3-4 episodes...which is annoying at some point... And I say I like the plot because if I deduce those scenes and keep in mind the main storyline, it's pretty good! ...Also, I liked how the plot went: guy looses memory and gains it back...at first I thought it would be only at the end that Kin would get his memory back but he got it before. After getting it back he was the biggest assh*ole of the planet though and that's something I think wasn't thaaaaaaaaat necessary...for more than 5 episodes it's all about the jerk moves while Luba tries to survive being treated like sh*t!
3. The actors and actresses. They were all overall really great! They portrayed their characters really well! Some expressions and gestures were too much, but it still worked well with the story and all. Also, even though they were all great for their characters, some scenes lacked emotions...not the romantic scenes (sad or happy) but the tragedies like deaths...one second someone dies and the next it goes "it's okay I'll get over it" and BOOM! they are over it and we never hear about the dead person(s) ever again...
OVERALL, I would recommand this drama to whomever likes a not-so-sweet-but-sweet romance...I say that since the guy is really a jerk when getting his memory back but then after all that sh*t all is well and they end up together...I mean alright cool, the main FL and ML are a couple, but the way he treated her was too much and they still protrayed it as if it was nothing...I would also recommand having some patience since the plot is dragged to fit 25 episodes when it could've been ≈15 episodes...(keep in mind I binge-watched it in 3 days so maybe that's why I feel it's too long for no reason...)...and I say "but sweet" because the kiss at the end was still worth the wait ??
****Note for the english subs people: if you decide to watch it on Viki, the sentences are a bit weird and not well written...like it says Auntie Kin instead of Uncle Kin....or they use "I" instead of "he/she"...it's a but confusing....it's still possible to watch it, but you have to phrase a lot to make sense of the scene!
To whomever decides to give it a shot: enjoyyyy!! ☺️
