I'm pretty nervous about these sort of secret identity/twin swap plots because I find it so hard to get on board with a couple when a secret this big is hanging over their head. And this was no different — I found the first few eps a little rough.

As the show went on and more things get unveiled, however, I ended up really enjoying the romance the complicated relationship between the characters. The romance is actually super sweet, and it's refreshing to see Ai-oon and May communicate. The dual acting by Namtan is very convincing and really allowed the sisterhood theme to come through. There's a lot of drama that happens but I didn't find any of it frustrating; either they were handled really well or I fully understood where the characters were coming from when they made decisions.

If I had to pick, I could come up with two gripes — neither of which are dealbreakers. One would be that I didn't really care about the second couple/love triangle at all, and two would be that it's pretty obvious Ai-oon and Ob-oom are played by the same actress with how the shots are filmed: either with them on opposite sides where you can do the split-screen effect, or jumping between them with close-ups. Neither of these are too glaring though, and I still found myself highly enjoying the series.
