JUST ENJOY IT!

You don't have to put so much emphasis on logic while watching this drama..there ain't no logic behind a girl turning into a chicken nugget is there?

The drama was exactly what it intended to be a strange wierd fun and hallarious watch...many events in the drama had me questioning why I was even watching the drama in the first place but it was that entertaining and I found my self binging all the episodes in one sitting.

The episodes are short so it feels less draggy and since it's fun you don't realise when it ends.

The acting was so good and I loved how the characters were naturally funny so the comedy didnt feel forced or dry....I found my self laughing out loud due the strange situations they got them selves in.

The cameos were also suprisingly good.

We need dramas like these from time to time, a drama which you don't have to spend alot of time applying thinking too but rather just sitting back and having a fun and humourous ride.

Do I recommend this? YES if you want to have fun and just laugh out loud...it was a good comedy series.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS!!!


So I started this C drama today called Are you the one and so far Iam impressed....Its about a woman who losses her memory and a man who takes her in and even pretends to be her husband well mostly because she wakes up thinking his one...but there is a catch as he appears to have some ulterior motives which I wont get into because then I'd be spoiling....either way this drama starts out a bit light, and to be honest Iam loving the vibe.

The male lead character played by Zhang wanyi is like grey...but I love his character the way he switches up between being the aloof and cold general to being this naive, goofy and silly character especially when he's trying to sell his husband role is applaud worthy plus his expressions and his comedy timing is spot on..he is such a mood and I can't wait for how his character evolves....

The female lead ( Wang churan) is written to be delicate, smart, outspoken but at the same time calm mature and quiet and I just love how refreshingly written her character is as it compliments well with her appearance...

Both leads have amazing chemistry and I love the natural build up of their relationship.

The story is most likely a mixture of business, comedy as well as mystery and suspense that we haven't gone much into but we shall as the drama progresses...the pacing is slow but at the same time makes sense considering it's a build up and we have over forty episodes...either way so far it's a refreshing drama with interesting characters.

Can't wait for more...I'll be uploading my half time review after 20 EPISODES I hope my opinion of it will still be as good.

A STRESS FUL WATCH

A GOOD WATCH

This has to be my fourth drama with Luo Zheng as lead and I was worried my boy was going to be typecasted into some CEO as always which he was but this drama a different and unique tone to it..

The story was stressful in a good way..it was a heavy watch with alot going on from schemes to emotions to heart break but it was all consistent compared to the amount of episodes.

I'd say this drama really bought out Luo zhengs acting skills, i must say this has to be my current favourite drama of his, he was given time to shine and actually grace the screen with some insane acting skills, he's emotional scenes had me tearing up too he was so good..he's character development was amazing and I loved his character a whole lot❤️

The female lead was sassy smart confident and pretty she kind of got on my nerves in some episodes but it's those flaws that made her character worth the watch?

These two had intense chemistry and sensual tension, their scenes together made me giggle and kick my feet in the air they were really cute together ❤️

The support characters did a good job iam glad we had the main couple alone to focus on and yes even the most annoying series in the series did a great job seeing how I felt like throwing my phone each time he popped up?

Either way I recommend this if you want something nice to watch.. though I would warn you it isn't a simple watch it's heavy and can get really stressful at some point but it's really addicting and that made it worth the watch❤️

A UNIQUE WATCH!!!

This was a fun and intense ride for me...I actually loved everything about this drama, I love how they managed to balance the action fantasy and comedy while throwing in some really heart breaking scenes.

The characters each suited their role and I must say I love most of them...our male lead was chaotic funny and silly but that was more of a defense mechanism seeing how he would suddenly become serious at times...my second favourite was Feng bao bao I loved how Clueless and effortlessly funny she was..it won me over...the rest of the characters like Wang ye were amazing too..since this was a drama with many different characters I love how they all managed to blend into the story perfectly and made it more Interesting and fun.

My highlight of the drama was the chaotic duo of ZCL and FBB these two had an amazing and silly friendship one where they look out for each other and protect eachother and at the same time do all sorts of silly stuff together, I love how they kept their relationship strictly pure and dint add any unnecessary romance.

The action scenes were intense and exciting especially accompanied by these up beat back ground music..the CGI and cinematography was absolutely amazing.

This was my unique watch of the year and I hope they make more dramas like these in the future..I also hope for a second season.

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR : A wholesome exploration of theatre and art!!!!

"Jeongyneon: A Star is Born" is set in the 1950s and follows a Mokpo girl named Jeongyneon, who has a remarkable talent for singing. She dreams of using her gift to explore the world, achieve fame, and lift her family out of their underprivileged circumstances.

Despite her mother's opposition, she seeks help from her sister and a lady she meets, who turns out to be a renowned theater performer. This mentor recognizes Jeongyneon's talent and helps her move to Seoul, where she joins an all-women's theater group. Throughout her journey, she faces various challenges, adjusts to her new environment, and encounters different competitors and individuals who shape her path toward her dream.

This drama is truly a masterpiece, and I want to share my thoughts on it from the perspective of someone who hasn't read the webtoon. My review is based solely on what I've experienced in the show, and I must say, I'm genuinely impressed.

The story is refreshing and unique, taking us on an inspirational and emotional journey that really tugs at the heartstrings. The acting is exceptional, with the cast showcasing a wide range of raw emotions. It's not just the main characters who shine; the entire ensemble brings depth and authenticity to their roles.

The characters are fascinating, from Jeongyneon, our vibrant female lead, to Moon Okyeong, the renowned theater performer she encounters. We also have Yeoseong, her current rival, and Jooran, her loyal best friend. Each character has distinct personalities that add to the series' charm. The chemistry between them is palpable, and their interactions are both engaging and dynamic. I particularly admire how Jeongyneon embodies a carefree spirit while also displaying a strong determination to achieve her dreams. Her character development is evident as she navigates various life lessons throughout her journey, making her story even more relatable and inspiring.

I developed a craving for theatre while watching this drama, as it beautifully tells the story of a performing arts group and features many of their plays throughout the series. I'm genuinely impressed by how the characters brought these plays to life. It's fascinating to see them act while already performing, and the plays were not only fun to watch but also an amazing addition to the overall narrative.

The character development is another highlight; each character undergoes visible growth, making their emotional journeys incredibly rewarding to experience. The pacing of the drama is perfect—nothing feels rushed or slow, allowing viewers to fully appreciate this wholesome piece of art.

Overall, this drama is simply amazing. It's artistic, original, inspirational, and emotional—a complete journey.

Do I recommend it? Absolutely! It's a breath of fresh air, and its originality truly shines through in both the plot and the characters.

A MESS I COUDLNT LOOK AWAY FROM...

Okay I actually can't believe Iam finally done with this drama..it's even more unbelievable that I stuck to it till the end but this has to be one of those dramas that only got better towards the end..like trust me if the kind of writing in the last four episodes is what they started with then it would have achieved a decent rating from me.

This drama had whatever it takes to be good, a thrilling story line the whole makjang concept of family business and fighting for inheritance, the mystery surrounding the characters the morally grey setting for the characters and it had two of the best actors...but sadly it failed.

The writing failed it, the poor casting for the female lead failed it, the inconsistency in the plot as well as poor character development failed it the plot being all over the place also failed it, the poor editing failed it the insertion of romance and a love triangle where it wasn't needed also failed it miserably....it failed at alot.

So then one may wonder how I managed to watch till the end and also give it that rating well let's just say it was a mess that kept me wondering what was going to happen next so all the curiosity kept me watching and I must say those last four episodes were actually quite good.

Do I recommend this? No well maybe but still no there actually many good shows you can try....

A HEALING AND COMFORTING DRAMA


This is a coming of age story about strangers that become deskmates then become friends and then turn to lovers, it throws like of aspects such as grief healing dysfunctional families friendship and love.

I must say this drama took me by surprise..I just decided to watch an episode and ended up getting so addicted and obsessed with it.

PLOT: The story was well written and narrated..the flow kept its pacing neutral not too fast and not too slow..it was relatable and a roller coaster of emotions...either way I applaud the consistency.

ACTING: What can I say this is my fourth drama of the male lead and I must say he caught my eye even more..being that it was emotional he really acted with all he got, his expressions were so impressive and he used his eyes most of the times to tell if he is happy or if he is sad..it felt natural and refreshing.

Female lead was amazing...all her scenes were done pretty natural you could feel the sadness and the happiness she felt based on a scene is love to see more Sabrina in the near future she is an amazing actress.

CHARACTERS: The female lead was well written..she wasn't cringy or annoying..she was just normal, she wasn't made too brave but also not too timid..she was smart and interesting and not a push over.
Male lead was meant to be a bad boy and he did act out the cold character well but I loved his character development and how he gradually became more and more free and expressive.
These two were definetly made for the roles.

CHEMISTRY: It's been a while since I got obsessed with a C drama couple but these two pulled me right in..they were so natural together and I loved that thing where they used their eyes to express what they felt about one another..it was cute..they had tension amazing chemistry despite not being given lots of kiss scenes ( which for the first time ever I didn't mind about) I just loved watching them stand next to each other or holding hands or staring at one another.

I other thing I appreciate about their relationship was how it was toxic free, they had mutual understanding they communicated the understood and supported one another...I was impressed with how their relationship was built..no unnecessary misunderstandings because our leads actually communicate and sort their issues out..I loved it.

DIALOGUE: The dialogue was screenshot worthy..it made sense and made the series even more impactful.

CINEMATOGRAPHY: It was calm nostalgic and relaxing to watch.

OSTS: They were soothing to listen too

Any ways I highly recommend this drama if you looking for something cute fluffy emotional with no toxicity no love triangles no unnecessary misunderstandings then this one is for you...my current #1 drama of the year so far❤️

A COMFORT WATCH!


Sunshine by my side has been one of those dramas that makes you feel a thousand of emotions...it warms your heart but at the same time makes you cry, it has been diverse and educational plus realistic considering that it touches topics that are in our real world.

It shows you imperfect characters having real and relatable struggles, it gives you a glimpse of family and friendship as well as romance...it shows you hardworking individuals who face disappointments and put them selves together and this was the charm of the series.

From a well balanced realistic heart warming and educational plot, to amazing well thoughtout dialogue to amazing characters written with imperfections and struggles which made them realistic to managing to throw in some light comedy amidst the heavy plot, to the actors and actresses who each for one was given enough time to shine and relate to the viewers to this relaxing cinematography to the soothing emotional osts to the natural chemistry between the that gave me comfort as a viewer to a matual relationship between the leads....this drama met all my expectations despite starting it without any...Iam gonna miss it so much...

It has been a ride that Iam glad I started and now that it has ended Iam really feeling empty.
So don't think twice if you want some thing different then SUN SHINE BY MY SIDE is that DIFFERENCE ...

DESERVES HIGHER RATINGS!!!

Ignore the low ratings otherwise you are going to miss out on an amazing drama..has to be my first remark..

This drama was more than what people wanted it to be..I guess some wanted romance but it didn't put romance upfront because it had alot to offer...others will say it seemed more like propaganda while I'd say it seemed like a tribute to the firefighters seeing how it dived more into how their career affects both their work and personal life..it shows you their pains their status in society and I must agree my respect for them increased more after watching this.

The plot is something we have seen alot this year but what separates this drama from others is how they decided to stand out a little by focussing more on the brotherhood of the firefighters, the challenges they go through, how people view them verses how they view them selves..the risk that comes long with their job and many other factors but I admire how they balanced that with the romance which was neither faced or slow paced but just made alot of sense..it felt natural a natural attraction between two people....they also manged to throw in some really emotional moments about friendship and family and I must say It has been a while since I cried for a series but I did for this one.

The plot was a mixture of variety of genres we had action from the firefighting scenes, we had friendship brotherhood and family, we had entertainment we had romance all of this mixed up together to give us a wonderful series.

The casting was amazing...I loved seeing all these familiar faces which were a major reason for watching this but at the same time I love how each character just fit perfectly in their role..we had a reserved and considerate male lead, a hardworking female lead, we had amazing support characters who shined in their respective roles... usually in a drama I would be attached to a character or two but when it comes to this..I was attached to every character because they all had a different charm to add to the series which made it even more beautiful.

The other thing I admire about the character potrayal was how these characteristics were human they had problems and struggles, they felt relatable because they weren't coated as perfect but rather made mistakes had regrets too so I admire that choice of character building.

The acting from each character was nothing short of perfect, we could feel all the emotions through their acting the happiness helplessness anger frustration love every single emotion and I loved how they were all able of transferring those emotions to the viewers through their beautiful acting. Hearts off the the cast!!!

The romance and chemistry between the leads was amazing natural and it gave me all the butterflies...I love how their relationship progressed and how they slowly got attached to one another..I admire how it was mutual and I loved the understanding between them....and how they both understood eachother despite coming from opposite worlds..it felt satisfying to watch.

The osts were good the cinematography was nice

The ending was emotional and open...I wouldn't have preferred if it were a bit clear and long but I still stand by my ratings... because it had more to offer....

The fire safety tips at the end of every episode was a good idea now I don't care if that's what people call propaganda but I love how helpful they were considering the fact that people might pay more attention to them since some were given by their favourite actors and actresses

Painfully beautiful, realistic and poetic

"What comes After Love" is a melancholic drama that tells the poignant story of two people reuniting years after their breakup. The narrative skillfully transports us back to a time when their love was vibrant and full of hope, only to bring us back to the present, where a sense of gloom hangs over their lives.

I truly love the vibe of the series; it strikes a delicate balance between uplifting flashbacks and heart-wrenching present-day moments. The emotional and melancholic atmosphere is what connects me to this drama the most. As I watch, I find myself deeply affected by the storyline, feeling both the characters' pain and the joy from their past together. It's an emotional rollercoaster that keeps you engaged.

The characters are portrayed exceptionally well. I appreciate how the story centers on just the two of them, allowing us to witness their struggles and emotions as they navigate their reunion after so long. Each episode presenting one character's point of view adds an intimate layer to the narrative, helping us understand their feelings on a deeper level.

The acting is undoubtedly impressive. Both leads excel at conveying their emotions, with silent yet powerful expressions that capture the heartbreak and longing they experience post-breakup. It's painful to watch yet beautifully executed. The chemistry between the leads is remarkable; even after their separation, the tension stemming from their shared past is palpable.

The dialogue is so good, and most of it is relatable, tugging at the heartstrings. It really adds to the emotional depth of the story and makes the characters feel real. I love how the conversations reflect their struggles and feelings, making it easy to connect with them. It’s definitely one of the highlights of the series!

I really enjoyed their journey of exploring the heartbreaks that come after love. The series skillfully captures the essence of their past and present, and it’s intriguing to see how they navigate their feelings and the complexities of their relationship. The emotional depth kept me hooked throughout the entire series.

The ending was okay..for some reason it felt short..it din't really feel like they both solved anything between them but rather just decided that time must have healed all wounds and solved all problems..I wish they focussed more on building their relationship in the future rather than the flashbacks in the past but other than the ending this was a great drama.

Overall, "What comes After Love" is a compelling exploration of love, loss, and the complexities of human emotions. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a heartfelt drama that resonates on so many levels.

An artistic and humourous approach to a dark show!

This show is clearly not every ones cup of tea but trust me if it meets its audience then you in for a fun ride....it's a dark comedy thriller as well as a psychological drama about eight people who find them selves involved in a game where they collectively win a specific prize money with each time that passes..the game has all kinds of rules some coming off as interesting while others are unfair....this show further more throws light on how the actual world we live in works, things like social classes and hierarchical benefits, injustice and unfairness, greed and more.....it's relatable in a way that it relates to the society we live in.

Now onto the drama I must say I loved the artistic and humourous approach to this dark show....the humour was on point well mostly for those who understand dark comedy....the artistic approach was seen from the way the drama it's self is shot and directed as well as the catchy goofy and humourous background music that made the scenes stand out in a lively manner!

The pacing of the show was fine door me..not so fast and not so slow enough for me to keep being engaged to the story and to the characters, the characterisation was good I love how each one of these characters was written with personality and drive....the acting was phenomenal and I had fun binging this.

As I said this might not be a show for everyone but if you can handle brutality because it does get brutal with time and if you love dark comedy and are a fun of survival shows potrayed in a variety show setting then this is exactly what you should watch.

Overall I found it interesting..loved the second half of it more but overall it was amazing to watch!

If you want a short weekend watch to binge in one seating look no further than THE 8 SHOW

When a ROMCOM romcoms the right way.....

No gain no love was my biggest surprise this year..having walked into it with little to no expectations Iam actually suprised by how much it grew on me....with every episode...it's actually rare but I had this excitement for it from the beginning to nearly the end..like that's how addicted I was to the series.

No gain no love was the perfect blend of comedy and romance..it had this light hearted tone to it that was maintained till the end..even with serious topics discussed and with the Deep dialogue at times..the drama still maintained it light tone...

The story was told in a way where even cliches felt fresh..there were plenty of my favourite troupes like we had the fake marriage troupe that actually felt different in its execution, we got the enemies to lovers from the second couple, we got the office romance and more..all of these are something I've definitely seen before but no gain no love managed to make them fresh and actually entertaining for me to watch and enjoy wholeheartedly.

The characters in the show were written to be interesting and unique each in their own way..we had a female lead who was calculating considering her nature of suffering no losses, she was realistic, bold and ambitious and also spoke her mind..to some she might have been annoying but her character felt rather amazing to me....she stood out because of these qualities that gave her a personality.

The male lead was written to be calm quiet and unintentionally funny...and I must her was good at it.

The other characters like the second fl and second ml and more were also entertaining and added a charm to he series and i must say I appreciate how all had amazing comedic timing which fitted the overall vibe of the series.

The acting was good... depending on how the characters were written..I know many people have complaints about Kim youngdae but I enjoyed his subtle yet impactful acting especially when he expressed himself through his eyes....it's something I noticed maybe because I paid extra attention to him since I was being cautious and he did a great job on his own and besides his co stars Shin min Ah.

The chemistry between the couple was amazing too..these have to be the rare tendecies Where I actually enjoyed both couples on the show..and just couldn't choose who I loved more than the other..the main couple was cute and lovely and their interactions were heart warming and made me all giddy... despite the age gap that seemed to worry many these two managed to generate a comfortable vibe around them with their natural chemistry and interactions.

The second couple was amazing too just a bit under developed..but still entertaining...and I can't wait for their spin off drama series.

The other soul of this drama, something I really loved was the comedy direction...this drama was actually funny..I had a smile on my face the entire time I was watching it..as I said above Iam happy they maintained the light tone of the series regardless of how deep the plot got especially when they were discussing some serious topics...even with the serious topics you can see that they were handled in a way that was delicate and sensitive without breaking the light tone of the series.

The pacing was amazing.. perfect for the 12 EPISODES of the series.

Overall this drama is definitely added to me list of classic and beautifully written kdrama ROMCOMs

Do I recommend it?

Absolutely if you looking for something light engaging and entertaining.

A CHAOTIC YET EMOTIONAL AND HEARTFELT JOURNEY!


"Mr. Plankton" is a chaotic yet heartwarming and emotional drama that centers around Haejo, a carefree, rebellious, and lonely man who learns he has a brain tumor and only a few months to live. Faced with this reality, he decides to embark on an adventurous journey to find his real father. Joining him on this journey is his ex-girlfriend, Jaemi, a woman who dreams of starting a family but is confronted with premature menopause that threatens that dream. Although she is set to marry someone else, Haejo kidnaps her to join him on his last adventure.

This chaotic journey also includes Jaemi's soon-to-be husband, who is determined to bring her back. Together, these characters embark on a memorable journey filled with unexpected twists. The plot may seem chaotic at first, but the execution is brilliant. I loved how the story strikes the perfect balance between comedy and emotional scenes that truly tug at the heartstrings.

We then have a host of interesting side characters that add depth and charm to the story. The acting was undoubtedly amazing; I loved the natural portrayal of emotions from the characters, which allowed me to bond with them on a deeper level. The chemistry between the leads was absolutely captivating—they shared a familiarity that felt genuine, and their sensual tension, along with their playful bickers and banters, was delightful to watch. I didn't expect them to have this much chemistry, but it was lovely to see.

The drama also incorporated some dark comedy elements that lightened the mood, making the emotional moments even more impactful. The ending was sad yet beautifully written; it left me so emotionally attached that I felt my heart drop as the final scenes unfolded.

Do I recommend this? Absolutely! If you're looking for something beautifully written, refreshing, with interesting characters and amazing dynamics and chemistry, then "Mr. Plankton" is for you. Just be prepared for the ending. Overall, it was a beautiful watch that I will remember for a long time.

A heart warming mature and romantic story

Road home is a story about first love basically, break up and reuniting but it's more than just your usual lovers reuniting plot....it had more

Why do I love road home?
The story which by the looks of it one will say it's just another ex girlfriend and boyfriend get back together but this felt more deeper than that, transition of relationships from when they were young to a more mature advancement, trying to not make the same mistakes they did before and trying to protect their relationship more using the lessons from the past..it felt real and more engaging and mutual... people will call this type of story slow because it feels more natural and realistic like things are happening like they would in an everyday life so basically yes people could say that slow but I found that this had a different touch to it? in addition I appreciate the main leads centric plot like yes we have supporting characters but it has all been mainly surrounded on the leads
#2.
The cast, First time seeing Jing bo ran in a series but I must say he ate up the LU CHEN role and left absolutely no crumbs, his expressions how he uses his eyes to speak, intimate macro gestures, his deep voice, his body language, presentation everything about him and I kinda low-key love it when they don't take the cold guy route here he's more quiet, calm mature, understanding, responsible....he's everything ? I don't know if such men exist in real life or we just under the fictional character spell but I'd want my self a Lu Chen ASAP
Seven Tan is pretty, and a natural actress everything about her acting from when she's crying to when she brightly smiles feels real to me...so yah she has done an amazing job too?
Other cast did amazing too love how Dou ruan is such a sweet heart her interactions with the kid, and yes favourite supporting character has to be the kid.
#3.
The chemistry, we all describe chemistry differently, to me chemistry between leads acting as a couple should feel so real I'd almost think they are in a relationship together, the sensual tension from when they are just staring at each other to when they touch each other should drive me utterly crazy, the level of comfort they have with each other, the thrill I get from their interactions...these two gave it all and left no stone unturned ?? so far I've felt really single watching this....don't get me started on those simple gentle kiss scenes....ahhhh?
#4.
Cinematography especially in Qinan the snow covers houses and roads, the sunset, the cinematography is absolutely pleasing to the eyes....??

#5. HAPPY ENDING
Who doesn't like happy endings every one does and after witnessing these twos story of how they have tried to win each other back fix mistakes from the past support and love each other a wedding and a child were the best rewards these two could get I absolutely loved this drama

Final Recommendation
I recommend this drama to people who love mature stories iam speaking no cringe moments, no unnessesary love triangles no unnessesary scenes the story was mostly lead centric iam saying a female lead that's out spoken and cute at the same time a male lead that isn't cold for a change just mature and considerate and loving this tory might seem slow for some people but trust me and give it a chance you won't regret it.

UNDENIABLY ONE OF THE BEST DRAMAS THIS YEAR!

This drama is told in a way that's emotionally captivating with a mixture of mystery and suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat so it pretty much gives off Melo mystery vibes.

This drama just has something about it that Iam sure to remember for the longest of times...it just reminded me of Melo mystery dramas from back then, there was something delicate and brilliant about it that Iam yet to explain.

So this drama is about this woman who loses her child injustly and with a fit of rage she makes a decision to take revenge on the perpetrator....and years later she crosses paths with this young mysterious man who seems to have a close connection to that perpetrator.....

The drama is written to be melodramatic but also has a glimpse of suspense and mystery... despite the plot twists coming off as predictable I love how they are twisted to make one doubt their own predictions...the story telling is emotionally captivating in a way that it takes you on this roller coaster of emotions, happiness sorrow anger you are going to feel it all through the story telling...it adds to being brilliantly written in a way that the writer makes it not fast paced and not slow paced but rather normally paced enough for you to sovour every moment of it in addition to being connected to the story itself.

The acting is incredible by that I mean it's the kind of realistic acting thats going to make you feel all the emotions the characters are feeling...it's the kind of acting thats really emotionally captivating a Powerful....Kim Namjoo is a veteran actress and despite this being the first time seeing her I can tell that she's an amazing actress, she just has the ability to draw you in with her acting..she has this powerful and graceful range to her acting thats Actually incredible.

Cha Eun woo to be honest set the bar high for him self in this drama and delivered.. considering his character being mysterious and hidden most of his emotions had to be potrayed through his eyes and body language and he managed to do it flawlessly..I loved his subtle yet impactful acting range.

The other main characters also did an incredible job to be honest every one in this drama contributed to the acting department of it...the amazing acting was one of this dramas biggest strengths!

The characterisation was amazing too, I love how the characters each was given depth and complexity, they all had personality and it all contributed to the charm of the series...I also love the mystery surrounding the male lead in the first Episodes of the story it really made his character intruiging and also made me curious about him other than that I loved the morally grey setting for the characters that made them flawed and realistic....

The direction and cinematography and osts was also something I want to comment about in this drama....I could tell that the director paid attention to the details the cinematography reflecting the characters emotions and the osts being hauntingly beautiful was such a brilliant charm to add to the already amazing drama.

This drama had been a ride, a roller coaster of emotions, a journey of pain and sorrow, I love how each episode felt like a movie...the amazing story telling and acting and characterisation...each contributed to the beauty of the series....

Do I recommend this ?

ABSOLUTELY! It's heavy but it's worth every bit of your time.
