Lovely, but also boring at times
A pleasant series, neither outstanding nor disappointing. I found the beginning much more interesting than the middle, which perhaps lacked something to really hold my attention. The last few episodes (especially episode 11) were the saddest, bringing back some of the emotional rollercoaster of the first episodes. The actors perform reasonably well, some better than others. Overall, it was enjoyable to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Soft, but heavy
A beautiful and moving series. Perhaps it generates a little too much frustration. The story is beautiful, the acting even more so. It has a soft atmosphere, but at the same time it is heavy and at times painful. It shows various aspects of life, in particular how we can change, succeed, fail, feel lonely and inadequate in a world that demands so much, when in the end the problem is that WE don't accept ourselves.It shows the importance of presence, both in family life and in friendships and relationships. I was disappointed that the relationship with the protagonist's family was not explored in more depth at the end, given that it played a fundamental role in the first half of the series.

just... disappointing
A big and disappointing no. It started with potential, but there isn't really a single redeeming feature: the acting isn't particularly good (with a few exceptions), the plot has an embarrassing number of holes, the effects are ridiculous, and it probably needed more episodes anyway. And then here isn't really a serious storyline; it seems like everything happens just randomly. If it weren't for the protagonists and the good start, it wouldn't even reach 5. The worst part? The ending .Was this review helpful to you?

The story itself had a lot of potential at the beginning, but I feel like it didn't live up to it. I mean, at the end everything was almost useless and there was not much satisfaction as a viewer: Than didn't get do take back his job (completely unfair), every villain died (kinda disappointing, cause at the end of the day nobody got to face consequences), the hospital...well I don't even know what happened with that. Then why give such a high grade? I don't know. There's something in the story and the acting, that somehow got me waiting every week for the episode. And every week I enjoyed it. It's true, the ending isn't the best and there are some holes in the plot, but it's also true that I liked the drama overall.Of course, the love here is not something that you can anyhow want (pheem shot Than twice, of course that wouldn't be okay in real life), but in this drama it worked. I got to sympathise with the main characters, especially Than, and thank to the acting it was also easier to understand what each of them was thinking. They aren't simple characters: Pheem seriously needs a psychologist (and some jail time tbh) and Than...well he needs a psychologist too. Jokes (or almost) aside, they had both a pretty good development, that made it easier to understand them (not agreeing with them: just understanding).
It shows that eventually, what really matters, are the people that you love (and that love you). Revenge? Well it just causes more pain, for everybody.

Wow.
It's simply wonderful. There are twelve episodes, all of which are extremely intriguing, except perhaps the eleventh, which is slightly slower. The characters are all interesting, the performances are spot on, the chemistry is perfect and the script is wonderful. The death of the antagonist, if you can call him that, was perhaps unnecessary, especially given how it happened, but it was still really well done.Was this review helpful to you?
Devastating
Wow. A punch in the stomach and a gentle caress at the same time. I cried through pretty much 14 out of 16 episodes, often more than once per episode, and yet I still find it beautiful. Perhaps the right series at the right time. It would have been a 10 if they hadn't overlooked a few details, but honestly, I don't really care. What really matters is that this series was there in the moment I needed it the most. Right after losing a dear person. It somehow helped putting that feeling into the right perspective. I'll forever be grateful to this.I can't believe how underrated it is, really.
