Hauntingly beautiful love story, born from tragedy, stitched together by fate, trauma, and healing.
What a drama! I was engrossed with this one.
This is a dark romance with psychological depth drama. What make this drama special is its emotional intensity. Every scene between the leads feels heavy with unspoken pain and longing. Jang Ki-yong’s performance as a man fighting to overcome the shadow of his father is heartbreakingly good, and Jin Ki-joo delivers quiet strength as someone who refuses to be defined by her trauma.
Heo Joon-ho, as the eerily calm and manipulative father, brings a chilling edge to the show. His presence lingers in every episode, adding psychological weight even when he’s not on screen.
What I loved:
1. Outstanding acting, especially from the main leads and antagonist
2. A raw and emotional storyline that dives deep into trauma and healing
3. Beautiful cinematography and a haunting OST that elevates the mood
What could deter some:
1. Slow pacing, especially with repeated flashbacks and internal monologues
2. Some scenes feel emotionally repetitive and could’ve been tighter
3. the ending, while cathartic, may feel underwhelming for those expecting big twists
Lastly, if you’re in the mood for a drama that aches and heals at the same time — this one’s worth your time.
