It started off really strong. The first half (Episodes 1-7) was a solid 10/10—it had that dark, intense vibe that the trailer promised, and I was genuinely excited for each new episode. Waiting for the next one felt like forever because the story was just that gripping.
But the second half was a bit of a letdown. Episodes 8-10 dropped to 8.5/10, episode 11 was 9/10, and episode 12 ended at 8/10. The show shifted more towards emotional drama, with a lot of crying and sobbing, which wasn’t what I expected. I wouldn’t say it was bad—there was definitely emotional depth—but it felt quite different from what I had in mind. The dark tone that I loved in the beginning just wasn’t there anymore.
The final episode was the most disappointing part for me. While the ending itself was good, the beginning was a complete letdown—it had unnecessary scenes that felt like fillers. It could have been executed much better. Also, the second lead’s story felt completely unnecessary. They barely had any screen time throughout the series, and then suddenly, in the last episode, we find out they’re getting married. It felt random and forced.
Also, I felt the female lead’s acting wasn’t as strong compared to the rest of the cast.
Overall, it’s a nice drama, but it didn’t fully meet my expectations. It started off amazing but took a different turn in the second half. If you’re okay with a shift from a dark tone to a more emotional drama, you might still enjoy it! A 8.5/10 for me.
a little out of context- can someone recommend me a good site to watch drama? i used to watch on dramanice by connecting iPad to my TV(airplay) however not i airplay it, the video is playing but the subtitles are not visible. so any site that can help with this problem?
The original focused more upon the imperfections within a person. But this one upon the pain and the suffering. Both are different, but same. Also, I liked how they incorporated the male lead emotions and his inner feelings so well in this one because it wasn’t in the original one.
The chemistry is so good, but it feels awkward because they are still brother and sister. (ik they are not, but it hasn’t been revealed in the drama yet)
