A masterpiece to make you cry with an unforgettable romance

In the 11 years since I fell down the Dramaland rabbit hole, I have never cried as much as I did at this drama! I cried several times per episode! This is quite a feat, as it is very rare that I cry. For me, this drama is a masterpiece! ? It is amazing and unique compared to other typical dramas. It shows important issues such as mental health, depression, autism, domestic violence, childhood trauma and healing!

This drama was so moving that I could only watch 2 episodes a day when I usually binge-watch everything in 2 or 3 days. So be warned before embarking on this journey.

?PLOT
The hero and his autistic brother are constantly on the run from the Butterfly (the murderer who killed their mother). They meet the heroine who is a writer with an antisocial personality disorder. The three of them develop and heal together.
The story was very well put together. I was surprised several times by the plot twists or revelations.

?ACTORS
The performance of all the actors was incredible!
• When Kim Soo Hyun cries, I cried with him. He manages to share all the emotions that go through him and you can feel his pain as his acting is so well executed.
• The autistic brother was played wonderfully. I often forgot that he was an actor and thought he was autistic.
• The heroine is played perfectly too. She surprises me because she is not like the heroines we are used to seeing in dramas. She screams or rather yells and doesn't hesitate to pursue her desires. The actress has succeeded in showing us a person with difficulties in expressing her emotions.

♥️ROMANCE
The chemistry between the main couple was palpable. I loved their romance and the way they learn to set boundaries and respect each other (in their own way). The heroine is there for the hero in her own way and brings him out of his lethargy. She helps him to heal himself. And vice versa.

?OST
The songs were very well chosen to fit the moments. The soundtrack helps us get into the emotions, and connect with the characters’ suffering.

? I recommend this drama to all those who like stories of personal development, a good romance and tears. Make sure you are in a good mental state before starting this drama. Take care of yourself.
