so this is actually my second time watching this - and wowwwwww still amazed by the story and the acting. brillianttttt. the first time I watched this was I think about 2 years ago. I was obsessed with Seo In Guk's face so I binged everything he'd starred in. I remember going into this show with extremely low expectations. why? idk even though it had Jang Nara (literally one of my favorites, she has never let me down) and yet I did not expect much? I was incredibly happy to be proven wrong. It was the first time I was introduced to the amazing that is Park Bo Gum and his incredibly emotive eyes. (I don't know how he does it, but literally I die when he gets sad, like why baby boy.) Also Choi Won Young, really? I'm sorry, but I know some of dem boys be evil but I kind would have loved a spin off of psycho detectives hunting other psychos? because the three of them kind of made the best team ever.

I was really impressed with Seo In Guk, the majority of dramas I'd seen him in around the time I'd watched this - they'd been light bubble gum sugar sweet romcoms. so I was kind of bracing myself because I didn't know if he had the range?And honestly he did amazing with this character but I was still hesitant with him playing that older brother role. Even halfway through this show I didn't know how he was going to pull that older brother character but damn if I wasn't wrong again. He and Park Bo Gum really played off each other so well - especially the final reveal. Literal chills.

I am huge on romance and there is definitely romance in here, however it is the minor part of the drama and honestly I wasn't even mad about it because you get CONSUMED by the plot. which is the best way to go for real.
