KIM SEON HO CARRIED THE DRAMA

I mean, I think they overcomplicated things from the beginning. Right from the start, the story felt a bit odd, lacking natural flow and depth.
Its almost like they wanted it to be poetic but... that couldn't land perfectly. Still, i consider the attempt to be decent.
The drama also felt like it changed genre mid way and went from a sweet romance to a psychological mystery. It was a whole lot of mess.
The star of the drama is DEFINITELY KIM SEON HO for me. His tiny expressions, natural charm and somewhat non predictable behavior made things interesting and kept me wanting more. He has a knack for making characters appear natural.
The main actress is..fine....despite the crazy writing and range her character had ON PAPER, her acting range seems limited. Its more or less the same doll ...naive...pure...somewhat fantasy heroine expressions. The scary lighting, makeup and expressions helped her alter ego character but I think that credit goes to the director, makeup artists and stylists more.

I can see PEAK JUN JI HYUN nailing this role in my mind and that's a thought I can't get out of my mind.

The second lead couple had electric chemistry because BOTH HAPPEN TO BE EQUALLY GOOD AS ACTORS. They matched each other's wavelength quite well but I DID NOT LIKE THE SECOND FL AT ALL as a character. Her dating style was extremely nasty and messy.
The story could have been better but Seon ho and the second couple made this drama journey a non regrettable watch for me.
