Unexpectedly Good!
I would like to start by congratulating the casting team. Each cast member portrayed their individual character magnificently. They did an amazing, terrific, and fantastic job! I really enjoyed watching the series, and I will definitely be watching it again. I personally had never seen the actors before, but they all deserve an award.
The writers also deserve praise. Each character is unique and complex in their own way. Despite the series only having eight episodes, you truly experience their hardships and grow alongside them.
From the very first episode, I knew that Sin Jae Min was plotting something. The fact that he practically served himself on a silver platter to Daon from the start seemed a bit odd to me.
To me, Kim Su Hyeon’s character is one of the most relatable. He was the living embodiment of so many common metaphors we hear growing up. For example: “You don’t know what you have until you lose it,” “A shrimp that falls asleep is carried away by the current of the sea,” and “Whoever has a shop should attend to it.” I felt bad for him, but his downfall wasn’t just due to Jae Min. He lacked the ability to see what was right in front of him the whole time, until the end. So if you ask me he was just dumb. However, I did appreciate his moment of realization at the end.
Jung Da On rattled me a bit, but I liked his journey. His struggles with his family and his confusion growing up felt so real that they reminded me of my own experiences.
And last but not least my lovely Ju Seong Hyeon! Ugh! He is the green flag we all deserve. Seeing Hyeon is a living reminder of what unconditional love should be. His character reinforced the idea that when you truly love someone, you NEED to be patient. Actor Cha Sun Hyung is a new face to me, but oh, do I want to see him again! I also loved the little background noises they included for him.
I highly recommend this show. Even though they managed to finesse it in just eight episodes, I would have loved to see a bit more. Again, phenomenal work from all the actors. I cannot wait to see them in future projects!
