And the MVP award goes to our sidelined player "Fidelity". What a fantastic drama from start to finish. Every episode, even the frustrating " ugg noooo... whyyyy?!" episodes still left me impatiently waiting for the next one to come out.

Mature subject matter for sure. Infidelity, work politics, friendships, trust, and so much more. I don't want to say too much and spoil it. I will mention though, if you don't like a "who done it" kind of show you might not like this one. A lot of things stay hidden for a long time - it's a slow progression of truth.

The acting - WOW. They all hit it out of the park. Everyone did a fantastic job with their character. The cheaters left you struggling to find anything good in humanity, and the victims reminded you that all is not lost. I read a few articles saying that Lee Sang Yoon was getting a lot of negative feedback because folks loathed his character. I mean - it's a show - not real life. I'd take that as a compliment if I were him - that "I" did such a good job being a jerk that folks were struggling with it. Jang Na Ra. I love her. I'm so happy she played this role. I was skeptical at first because she's been typecast as the cute and sweet girl next door. She grew wings in the is drama and soared. She was level headed and decisive and had sound workplace ethics and more importantly a strong moral compass. I loved her character. ( and okay she was still cute and sweet).


Anyway - rewatch? Maybe a few years from now. The who done it element keeps me from wanting to because it's like saying surprise 2 times and expecting the same response.

Shout out to all the other actors - I know I mentioned only two, but man they all did a great job. <3 sorry for typos - it's early.
