The show is definitely interesting and very different from other Korean dramas I’ve seen. It moves along at its own comfortable pace. There’s a lot of eye candy in this show and a lot of men who like the heroine. I loved Go Kyung Pyo and Yoo Ah In – they were so captivating. Their characterisation is very well done. Their bromance is also one of the best.
The secondary characters are suitably quirky and warm as well. They served their role to entertain and not bore the hell out of me.
There are so many layers to this show and so many layers to the characters – I appreciated the slow reveal of the storyline and what happened between the people involved.
The music also gets a tick from me. It used some very unusual soundtracks. A lot of English! My favourite is Satellite.
Go Pyung Kyo
This actor is wonderful in his character portrayal. He completely stole the show.
He is so cute! My sister described him as a “smol bean” - a character that despite being big and tall, always evokes feelings of pity or adorableness.
Jeon Seol
Heroine starts off stereotypically bubbly and dense. Her past character is quite marvelous, but again, takes a while to warm to. She is really nothing special in terms of protagonists. The way she cleans up the end is impressive. That’s definitely the stand out point for me.
Han Se Ju
Yoo Ah In’s portrayal of the arrogant male, is perfectly eccentric. It has a different spin to it that is charismatic and appealing. He is consistently calm in the face of enemies and super zen about people attacking him. He is also quick to figure out the bad guys’ schemes. You can’t fool him!
His development as his past self, Hui Young – is quite tasteful as well. He seems very cool, on top of the game and strategic, in the past.
Romance
Present day romance is really built on the romance from the past. That’s what sold it for me.
Also, despite being too little too late, this show has one of the best “I love you” scenes. Really beautiful and heart breaking.
If I think about the ending too much, I’ll probably lose it.
