A unique 'celebrity | star' drama

This Kdrama is not only swoonworthy but gives the viewers a lot of take-aways. For me, this drama reminds me of how important it is to be grounded and confident of your identity and individuality, so when you are at the pinnacle or hit rock bottom you can't easily be swayed by the many voices of lies and deceit that our minds are bombarded with and it serves as an anchor . This is such an eye-opener in many aspects. Like when things are tough and the outcome of our choices is unpleasant, we are not fully responsible of everything that has happened (unless it's a direct impact of your decision). We are often confronted by guilt and this is quite often a reaction to adverse situations as indirect outcome. The drama shows the reality we all go through, not only in entertainment industry, that there's always a pressure to rise to the top. How our desires consumes us changes the trajectory of our lives according to the decisions and choices we make in effect. More often these decisions are highly influenced by our hunger for fame, status and comfort. It is unfortunate that many still fall prey to the temporary gratification and lifetime effect it has over us and the people around us. Because our lives are intertwined, these kind of decisions has a negative ripple effect. I like how the title reveals many themes as the story takes a different turn, our lives is full of ironies, twist and turns too. Sometimes it throws lots of surprises and at times curveballs. How we deal (or embrace) is all about perspectives. Like practicing self-restraint does not necessarily means defeat rather a diffuser to avoid blowing things out of proportion. Hearing the right voices (e.g. truth, positivity, peace, etc) and heeding to it pays off.

On the other hand, I like the strong chemistry between the lead characters (Geung-yongand Whoon Joon). The scenes and episodes are seamless and transititoned smoothly. The scenic shots has an additional impact to the story. I like how the character plays out the role is so captivating and transports viewers in that moment of time and evoke the emotions according to the situations. This drama is like an easy read book -- it does not take long for the reader to see the meaning and themes between the lines. It just jumps out and hits you so real.

So captivating that I was able to complete 16 episodes in 2 days. This surely makes it as one of the highly recommended drama in my list. Too bad it's not in Netflix!
