I could make a checklist for every trope this one hits, but man I just couldn't stop watching. The plot is fast-paced and ties in everything together well, the acting is on-point, the chemistry magical and OST magnificent.

This is the quintessential k-drama - you have a bickering main couple, who happened to know each other as kids, amnesia, kidnapping, a damsel constantly in distress, and an ML with mommy issues. And I can just keep on going.

But something about this show just kept me on my feet and squealing at every turn. Despite the multiple clichés, the show is unpredictable in the best way possible. The friendship between the 3 leads is heartwarming, in a way that reminded me of Chicago Typewriter, because despite the love triangle, you know their relationship runs much deeper than that. We gotta have more 3-way love triangles!

As a genius tech sav who was constantly on the run from the authorities, the ML reminded me SO MUCH of Healer.
I also found it super refreshing that we had a 30-something FL who was NOT a candy and pretty accomplished in her own right. Yes, she got a bit damsel-in-distressy sometimes for my liking, but she was fully part of the action in the final episodes and I WAS ALL FOR IT.

Although this drama may require a bit of suspension of belief, it was easy to get lost in this shiny world of advanced AI.
Final words: WATCH IT!!
