Everyone seems mistook the series as a romance melodrama, which is not the main point about this show. Uncontrollably fond, everyone will do anything to their beloved one, even doing something wrong and unforgivable just to experience a little happiness and seeing your beloved one happy. Everyone whom are involved in all this circle turn a blind eye. Uncontrollably fond depict a court drama without court, There is a victim, a culprit, a judge who use his power to cover up. And there is someone who relate to both side, and interfering I don't find this drama depressing if you try and look the drama itself more objective. If there is flaw about this drama, it's too much PPL and it take the show too long unnecesarily to get the whole point after 4 introduction episode. It makes some people who are looking for a meaty stuff from the writers suddenly lost interest. But I thank the writers, the cast and the director to create this drama. It has flaw, but It's rare to see a mainstream drama acting this solid. It's so enjoyable to watch. Suzy aside, almost an important character is reliable at acting. The acting might be not as strong as the writers previous project, but this is still better than average popular drama out there. And I will never forget Kim Woo Bin's acting transformation and what he bring to Joon Young's character. This is the first time I see him as a real actor. I love the whole atmosphere and ambiance the director created. How he depict emotion each character, those little nuance the actor has shown capture perfectly, he makes the actor shine. Watch for the acting and the directing.

All I 'm thinking is it's a shame they cast the wrong cast in some important character, because it's make me less enjoying the drama. It might be explained why the rating is so low. It's also a shame they focus too much time on the couple and less to the more interesting narrative. I don't mind to the slow burn show, but this is not the case here. More like they focus too much time on the couple up and down. Their dynamic is so interesting in the beginning and in the middle with their ups and down as a newlywed couple, but the more angsty they get , the more I lost interest. I appreciate the writers to write the relationship much deeper than your average romantic comedy drama. The conflict the writers create for the couple is something I find refreshing and abit close to realism. The sexual chemistry between them is good and they share an equal good job. They seems comfortable with each other. But unfortunately, I'm not buying their angsty periode, because sorry, Shin Min Ah can't act and it stop me from enjoying their conflict. Not that I hate her, really. Lee Je Hoon is carrying the whole emotional part and eventually completely outshining her. It's even apparent when they are acting in one frame. If one thing I appreciate, is how they depict a time traveler plot as their narrative, it's so well done for me. Often times in time travelling drama I saw, they use a time travelling as plot device to move the story further, because you need there must be something going on in your show where there is nothing left except twist and turn that led to nothing in terms of narrative. The show doing a decent job depict a human nature and fate, and why that particular event happened. The future has already depict the action, which is a brilliant a depiction from the writers. And more over, I really really wish the director need to learn how to hire the right actor. Seriously, several important character who should carry a character justice are not delivered. Acting is one of the think which define the quality of your Drama.

This drama is not perfect. Far from it, But what trendy drama is perfect? Several TV drama have that second lead syndrome for purpose of benefit several people behind the scene. Many show did. But some of them were just went unnoticed. But who cares? Because I feel she is indeed take a good job to make this drama very watchable.

The focus is not only for the main character, but also focus on anyone else. A drama with having good ensemble cast like this would be waste if you focus only the main character arc, And I'm glad PD and writers took that route (Though some actor just has that limitation that at times unable to explore the complexity of their own character, that sometimes makes me wonder what could have been if they cast a more capable actor).

Let the original writer of the webtoon do her job to write the main character arc more depth and detail because she has a freedom to do it. PD and writer only have 16 eps on their hand to complete the series! and Other than Love Triangle storyline that might be taken away the quality of the drama, everything else is fine. They cover the overall message from the webtoon. I like the fact they explore all Jung's victim and how Jung or Hong Seol action affect them, and how their action affect our lead.
That's the reason I find it worth to rewatching. Watch the first time and we will normally see through our main character point of view. And watch again for the second time, and this time you are in our victim main char point of view, and you will see a different light.


IWhat I found interesting about this drama is writers refuse to take aside any of the character, and let audience judge the char choice and pointing out the mistake they made and the consequence they have to face. Many drama just like to take aside especially for their lead and afraid to make their leading take a darker route. Many drama fail to potray their anti hero, they don't want to take a risk afraid the audience won't accept their char, seems abit taboo for them to acknowledge their leading flaws. Several drama that are suppose to bring up an anti hero as their main theme fail to move forward the issue and conflict into something more interesting and meater because of this and fail miserably. ( I can't believe this writers is the one who write that mess stairway to heaven. Even if the idea mostly from Soonki, seems to me they are deliver a different message. And She is still the one who wrote the script, screenwriter and mangaka storytelling has different concept.)

For that, thank you Cheese in the trap
