This was my first Woo Do Hwan drama and he etched his acting skills in my heart. I have watched Lee Yu Mi's dramas…
lee yu mi is a great actress In the drama it was not only the main actor that showed that he was suffering from something, lee yu mi was suffering form something and expressed emotions so please don't criticize just to praise your own favorite actor
One of the worst dramas of 2021 for sure. So damn dragged out and boring. Almost all characters are unlikeable. Weak payoff in the end. Stay away from this one.
The characters were its biggest downfall. All the characters were insane, demented, deranged and devoid of integrity. There was no layers to their madness. You'll have to humanize them first before stripping it away. Skipping the first step would devalue their actions and take away from the watching experience. Aside from the characters, the drama was excruciatingly slow for no apparent reason other than filling the contracted runtime. Slow burners are acceptable when they serve a purpose to either immerse the viewers into its world or to seamlessly build up the tension. The drama failed to do either. The twists were overdone for the sake of it rather than adding to the narrative meaningfully. Even then, they weren't appealing nor interesting. Once the memory was restored the drama took a sharp and sudden turn for the worst going against what it tried to build up to, this includes the ending. One more thing, there was an attempt to have a play on artistic symbolism but none of which landed well. Partially because of the two aforementioned points.

I'm on episode 9 now.I can't be the only one here who hates the dinosaur lady, right? 😂 just went to reddit…
she is a deeply flawed and psychologically complex character. her acting "evil" is a mask to cover her insecurities. she is driven by hate and all kinda negative emotions. people like her because they can relate to it, and because she was wronged by both her bf and the other fl who remained unrepentant.

Update : I have finished it. Not satisfied with the ending 😂
I get that HJ runs away maybe to avoid the prison, but why she have to lie about running away with WJ? Now it seems like everyone got a happy ending except her poor husband and the kids. Her husband will forever think that she ran away with another guy, and the kids will be clueless about why their mom disappear. The body found was never really investigated anyway, so it's almost like she ran away from nothing tbh.
Before, I want to warn you that everybody in this series should have seen a psy a least 4 sessions for each.
Globally, the drama is slow-paced but don’t just stop here because it’s really good. I wanted to stop because I was getting bored but the way it’s written makes you want to know how it’s going to finish.
Starting with Hae-Won, the scene where Hui-Jui asks her "What are you gaining from that ?" and she responds that she doesn’t care as long as she suffers as much as she did. She knows she might not get anything and may lose more in this battle but she still wants to get revenge. If she looked around her, she was having so many opportunities but she was too obsessed with this revenge. Maybe it’s my way of thinking but, for me sometimes, you should not wait for the apology of people to move on, and forgiveness it’s not for people but only for you and your peace.
At first, I was on her side but the more we were going the more I thought she needed medical help.
Hui-Jui lacks so much good sense. Her husband was always on her side but instead of explaining to him and finding a solution together, she just dug her grave. Woo-Jae has shown many times, that he was ready to do everything for her but she didn’t think of putting him in a restraining order ??? She was so fierce when she just needed to apologize to HW, but I mean I could understand, not wanting to apologize to the woman that just hurt your daughter.
In the end, I am a little bit disappointed. I know it’s not a happy drama but, HW asking HJ to abandon her family, especially her kids! Just seems evil to me. I shed a tear although I didn’t really appreciate HJ. #Fragile I only understand after reading the comment and rewatching the scenes, where the blood did come from lol. I think the end was a little rushed.
I'm on episode 9 now. I can't be the only one here who hates the dinosaur lady, right? 😂 just went to reddit and seems that everyone likes her. I found it so hard to root for her. I'm tired of her blank evil smile and acting all-evil when she's actually so broken herself. I'm so annoyed that she's literally everywhere 😂
Yeah I get that she is obsessed with Woo Jae, but at this point, seems obsessed with Hui Ju too? So pathetic, and her mental condition does not even get better after all this mess she is causing. Imma call it pointless revenge, and she's just stupidly hurting herself with all of this.
People like nice people, a drama where everyone has issues and is far from cozy hardly does as well. Sadly. Also moralists that see cheating as a worse sin than killing.
I love this drama but the tags here are misleading — this is a human drama more like melo and slice of life, and the backdrop is just fantasy — so if you're expecting for a big fantasy plot to watch, you should skip this. This is also not romcom, despite centering the journey on our two ccharacters with good romance. Comedy tag should be at the very least remove.
This is a story mostly about two depressed characters who wanted to die / stop existing (the other one being doom himself), accepted their fate, letting go, wanting to live, to love and be loved. It's also a story about families and friendships. I hope this helps other people who wants to watch this show. The messages are also very subtle, and there's a lot of push and pull of emotions especially on the middle, so if you do not enjoy such subtletly, you might not enjoy this.
