We all have our own unwritten souls within us that connects each one of us.

It's a story of twins who try to find each other in the form of switching places, lives and identities. Unlike any other melodramas, it churns and squeezes those deepest, untouched and skillfully hidden emotions out of me. This is a drama that came to me when I needed it the most. I've watched numerous dramas but never connected myself to the characters like I did in this one. I found myself in their happiness, in despair, in frustration. There's far more depth in each one of us, including the drama characters, than it shows. Reading between the lines is where we find ourselves. Perspective is subjective, but internal turmoil is universal.


β€£ Characters:

β˜› Mirae & Miji: They're our flawed protagonist, one who believes in her gut and other does everything from her heart without thinking twice. This is the first time that watching Miji & Mirae feels like looking myself in the mirror. Our situations might not be the same, but to the extent I understand them, it's just too overwhelming for me.


β˜› Hosu: A vigilant, devoted, blunt lawyer who doesn't compromise with truth. He's one of the clearest characters, yet he's so complicated. He's that loyal friend who has got your back whenever you need him. But he'll never open up to you because he swallows his sorrow so he doesn't become a burden to anyone. He dealt with his own demons while fighting for others.


β˜›The Mothers: All three of the moms have their own struggles. They are also flawed and have their own shortcomings as parents, but they try their best to provide for their children even if they have to sacrifice themselves. The precious bond between the children and the moms was heartwarming. And also, as friends, they got each other's back.

In the end, even if other people look well off, happy and fortunate to have what we don't, it's just the outer shell. We don't know what that person is going through inside, what struggles he/she is facing. They showed us that being flawed doesn't mean you're weak, but trusting yourself and believing in your potential, you can face any hurdles in life.

Overall, it's a heavy, heartwarming saga of daily struggles, triumphs and achieving peace within oneself that has properties to break and heal inside out. It's a highly recommended, must-watch drama if you are a melo sucker like me.
