This show is INSANE
I absolutely love the writing. The plot is meticulous. Moments you don't pay attention to are brought back up and become relevant. There is never a dull moment.The characters are so well written. The love story is realistic and really entertaining. Their chemistry is incredible. The young stars in this are also absolutely brilliant actors. The way they act their struggles is brilliant to watch.
The thing I love most about this drama is it takes tropes that at the start you really think will go a certain way, but it turns everything upside down until you don't know what to expect. Where you think the story is going, it will undoubtedly go a different way.
It also tackles issues that aren't very commonly tackled, like eating disorders in men, and other things I can't reveal because it will ruin the story.
Basically, WATCH THIS SHOW. The final two episodes are on this weekend and I can't wait!

Don't watch this for the romance
This show starts out so strong. I was in love for the first 16 (half-hour)episodes. It came across as a thriller, and was genuinely spooky, with great plot. The atmosphere was really good, and the plot was actually a little unpredictable, but well written. But the second half....Do Not watch this for the romance. There is no chemistry, and I had no idea why the ML liked the FL because her character was so bland. She is quite boring as a character, and when in the second half, they start putting emphasis on the romance, this is when it starts to go downhill, because there is no reason for them to have this strong feelings for each other, and it's just not believable. You're telling me they'll die for each other after ten days? Crazy
Also from the start of the second half, the same plot points keep coming up and no progress is made by the main characters. They keep doing the same thing and getting thwarted in the same way by the villain in the second half. HOWEVER, I have to commend ML's acting as there was a particularly poignant part where he is alone crying that broke my heart. Superb writing or directing there as well as the acting.
One problem is the way they cut this show. Whoever edited this show is wild. In the aforementioned crying scene, you can tell they cut parts out and edited it a lot, which is fine as long as it isn't obvious to the viewers and still looks good, but it did affect the best scene in the show imo.
There are other problems like that, particularly the cyclic plot. I started getting déjà vu every episode. There is also a very obvious plot twist at the end that is treated like it is mind-blowing with all the flashbacks we're given. There are TOO MANY flashbacks in this show, another problem from the editors.
Just to end my review, I have to compliment the main villain. She is very cool and well acted in my opinion. Especially in the first half, she was chilling to watch on screen. I'll watch future projects from her for sure.
