When I started to watch this, I expected it to be something similar to True Beauty, a romcom
but I was pleasantly surprised it was psychological! I almost thought it's a jdrama! something like Switch.

It was intriguing in the earlier episodes,
however, later it starts to lose it's charm...
I believe it lacked character relationship build up, their relationship with each other felt flat... and sometimes confusing.. (I won't go into detail to avoid spoilers)
maybe it would've been better if it was longer. and tbh some parts didn't make sense but I was ok with it cuz whatever

Although I found Koo Ae Jin a little annoying because I don't tend to like weak and negatively stubborn female leads but I liked how she portrayed a realistic character, not a handsome guy entering her life and suddenly she morphs into a popular extrovert *rolls eyes*

the actors did a good job however in the later eps some acting parts were a bit cringe, I think that's the direction to blame..

Despite everything I was excited for new episodes and that's quite rare of me since if I don't like a drama I'd immediately drop it (more like exile it to the On-hold list to feel less bad harshly dropping it)


my favourite character was Jisung and I'm upset they barely gave him any screentime :(


All in all, I recommend it, I really liked the ending moral of the story. so don't worry it's not a toxic beauty show.

(btw I rate music low if I don't remember the song.. I'm sorry to the artists maybe I was too focused on the story)
