One of the Best Dramas of 2020.

This is definitely one of the best Korean drama that I have ever watch. It's a literal roller coaster ride that would always leave you breathless in every episode to the point that a calm scene will scare the shit out of you. Really, don't expect an episode without chaos haha. You'd laugh, cry and feel the love in it. I was just really thinking that I'd watch it at a past time, you know. I didn't expect to get too attached to it since I just really found it interesting. But I never expected to be in too deep in it. Once I started, I never know how to stop myself from watching.

There are a lot of things that I really really love about this drama but I want this review as spoiler-free as possible because if you're thinking of watching it, then definitely go! No regrets, it's worth it, I swear. But please prepare tissues and prepare your heart.

One of my favorite thing in this drama is the trio. The Baek family. Baek Hee Seung, Cha Ji Won, and of course, the ever-lovable Baek Eun Ha. I really can't move on with their bond as a family. It feels heartwarming every time that they're complete on-screen and having a good time, but it's scary at the same time, you know. There's always this fear for what will happen in the next episodes and how would they overcome the struggles to come. You would really want to protect them as a family at all costs. They don't have to be vocal about how much they love each other because you could feel it in their actions. And I think that's one of the best things about it. There's no cheesy or over the top dialogues to express their love, their action speaks for it.

It is my first drama of Lee Joon Gi and I am beyond impress. I didn't expect him to be that good. And also Moon Chae Woon! They all nailed their characters. I couldn't think of any other fitting characters for their roles other than them. The emotions are there in their eyes. The pain, sorrow, struggle. I especially want to commend Joon Gi for his excellent act. I was so carried away with his acting. The two's chemistry is also... wow. I couldn't get over it. You would think they're really married haha. Special mention to Episode 11. Goodness, gracious. Their acting is truly phenomenal.

Let's talk about the plot. Wow. It was the first thing that really tickled my interest and I never regret picking it up. Most of the scenes would really leave you breathless, scared, and crying. The story was really unpredictable with every twist and turn. I love how their actions really reflected the scenes that happened. Also, the OSTs are so beautiful! I also love how they gradually unfold the past relationship of the two that made me connect with them even more.

Some might be disappointed with the ending, but it's just perfect for me-- or maybe almost. If they only give me few more scenes showing the family's bonding again then it would be perfect. For me, the ending was the right ending for all of them. Knowing everything that Hee Seung went through, if I am him, I think I would just also choose to forget it all. And I think it was just perfect timing for them to start anew. You know, it's time for him to love his family as him-- as who he really is and not someone else. I don't want him or anyone else to be haunted by the horrible past that they have gone through for months and years. I did complain at first, but gradually I realized that it's just the ending that they all deserve.

Well, that's all. I tried to make it as spoiler-free as possible haha. If you're planning to watch it, then go! You won't regret it, I swear. Truly one of the best Korean dramas of 2020.
