Great acting in an unusual story
I must admit that even though it wasn't the best drama I've ever watched in my life, it was pretty fine, knowing it was produced back in 2016.
PLOT
The story portrays a rather different story from ordinary romantic comedies: personality disorder. The story has potential and fortunately it was executed well enough for me to be satisfied with it. However, some points I would omit, because it made the drama quite slow and not engaging enough to watch it in one go. The plot twist of main leads was great, I was surprised with it to say the least. Although the story was about fighting with the personality, entwined with the mystery of the chaebol family, I wish they had shown different personalities more, making each episode more interesting.
ACTING
In my opinion, the best non-negotiable perk of that drama was the acting of the male lead. Park Ji Sung is such a talented actor (even though he's one of my favorites, I think that in this drama everybody would agree with that statement). He was able to perfectly show character of each personality in a way that in first 2 seconds. It was obvious which personality was there by simply looking at his eyes. Furthermore, the moment of the change of personality was such a masterpiece, where all of the moves and expressions were on point, enabling the viewer to fully immerse into feelings of the character. Even though Ji Sung's acting was remarkable and the best in the drama, Park Seo Joon and Hwang Jung Eum (second male lead and female lead) portrayed their roles flawlessly, creating a spark of funny moments in the whole story.
REFLECTIONS
I usually write reviews in mind of including some final thoughts and reflections on the show I've watched, but with this one I don't have any, which makes me sad. The story grabs so many problems of nowadays society but the plot didn't show it so greatly for me to catch any reflections. The only one that I can think of would be that whatever you go through, somebody by your side can ease your mind, making you comfortable.
PERKS
(IN THE NEXT PARAGRAPH, THE SPOILERS ARE INCLUDED, MOSTLY ABOUT LAST EPISODE)
As for things that bothered me, they were mostly included in the last episode, which I think was quite unnecessary. Both father waking up and new personality appearing at the end were just taking up time on the screen. Although I know that people change, the change of dark characters, both grandma and father of the male lead was too sudden and created a fake scenario, completely out of the whole puzzle.
SUMMARY.
To sum up, would I recommend it to you? Yes, but brace yourself for some slow going plot and watch out for acting of Ji Sung (truly this man deserves awards for this role)
PS. MUSIC ROCKS IN THIS DRAMA!
