Worth your watch!!
I decided to watch this after being really intrigued by Inn's performance in "The Wicked Game", where his storyline with another character was one of my favourite parts of the show. And I was definitely not disappointed by his performance as Phob here. I’d even dare to say he improved!

⋆˚✿˖° The Best °˖✿˚⋆
➯ The chemistry. THE CHEMISTRY!! THE YEARNING!!! I loved their performances so much and was rooting for them so hard!
➯ The acting. I already mentioned Phob's actor, but Thin's actor absolutely nailed it too. I find Thin absolutely adorable; he gives me cuteness aggression and I want to pinch his cheeks. lmao!! Also, the grandma is an amazing character. What an MVP!!
➯ The setting. I loved the locations they filmed in, so immersive!
➯ The genuinely interesting storyline. I was so curious about where the story would go and how everything would develop.
➯ Siri's character and storyline. Definitely one of my favourites in the show! I just wish she'd gotten more screen time.
➯ The villainous characters, like the brother and the father. I loved to hate them lol!

✗✗✗ The Bad ✗✗✗
➱ The repetitive music. I never thought I'd ever say this in a review, but the music actually bothered me enough that I feel like I have to mention it! I love leitmotifs and recurring themes, but here they kept spamming the theme song during emotional moments over and over again, which eventually got a bit annoying.
➱ The repetitive slow-motion walk-away scenes. I swear, in the second half of the show, at least twice an episode someone was walking away from another character — or being dragged away from them — in slow motion for what felt like a full minute. It started to feel pretty repetitive and unnecessary lol.
➱ The fake flowers/flower petals. The flowers keep appearing because they're a recurring theme, which I actually like, but they are so painfully fake that I sometimes found myself focusing on them more than whatever was happening in the scene. lmao
➱ The ending. I won't spoil it, but it was one of those surprise endings that I'm personally not tooooo fond of (but someone else might be!)

Overall: 8/10 ★★★★☆
I had a really good time with this, and if you enjoy period dramas and forbidden love stories, I'm sure you'll enjoy it too!
