Could've been perfect
All the actors in this were outstanding, but Ji Changwook, Jihyun and Dong-ha really stole the show! I can't elaborate on this without spoiling it for you, so you'll just have to see for yourself. A few characters that deserve a special mention are Byun Young-hee, Bang and Park Youngsoon, who were the sweetest!
My favourite thing about this was the plot twist, it really made the drama worth rewatching infinite times - as long as I skip the cringey parts, such as when they keep replaying couple moments (even watching many of them once was cringe-worthy, let alone watching them several times). Beyond cringey, replaying those moments was boring and a waste of time.
I also wish the writers had made Bok-ja consistent - it makes no sense that they made her so nice and at the same time made her have a superiority complex.
[Warning: Spoilers ahead!]
Speaking of inconsistent characters, what were the writers thinking when they were writing Eunhyuk, Yoojung and Jihae?! Just because Eunhyuk and Yoojung didn't get physical, it doesn't mean it wasn't cheating - it would've made a lot more sense if Eunhyuk had told Yoojung the truth and had started something with her if she had broken up with Jiwook, and same thing for Yoojung: she should've broken up with Jiwook and then started something with Eunhyuk; the writers shouldn't have made her say some of the nasty things she said, either. As for Jihae, she was an awful character for so long, and all of a sudden she was nice?! Seriously, have the writers heard of consistency?!
Also, I couldn't stand the fact that there was no reason for the main couple to be together, but they just had to make the female lead act stupid.
[End of spoilers]
On another note, if you've never watched anything with Choi Taejoon, I highly recommend watching this before 'Missing 9' so that you have this image of him in mind - I wish I had done that, but unfortunately, I always think of him in that drama; don't get me wrong, he played that role perfectly, but that's the problem, because he played a psychopath, and his eyes looked extremely scary most of the time, haha.
Thank you to everyone involved in this project!
Don't miss out on this drama, the story really stays with you!
Bonus points for being perfect in length at 20 episodes and duration at 1H.
