This is one of those stories that grabs your heart and squeezes it over and over again, while keeping you guessing who is who and how did they get there. The first letter clearly shows that we are in for a ride in to the darkest depths of despair not knowing if we will ever be able to get back out of it.

While some twists are more predictable than others the way this drama unfolds bit by bit had me in a state of pain and fear throughout the whole drama, the more I got to see the leads try to get out of the hell they lived in the more I got to know about them the more they made me feel stuff. As the writers really did a good job showing the human being behind the hooligan, how they got there and the bonds between the leads.

The two mains connections went beyond romance, beyond family, placing them somewhere between Better Days and Someday or One day type of storytelling brilliance. The mailbox, cat, past and present connecting timelines felt pretty secondary to the main story that took place in 1991.

The debt collectors, gang men got on my nerves more than once, however they had an important part in upholding the fear and contributing to the plot that I find myself appreciating the way they were written in to the story even though some of their parts where slightly rushed.

I do have one complaint and that is the casting of the older versions I get that they had a hard life but they looked closer to 75 than 55.


But other that that Id say this is one 0f 2025 best C dramas, it may even be one of the best drams released this year, the type of drama that really tells a story it may only be12 episodes long but it is nothing but a fast story , it is an easy binge but not an easy watch and there is not a single fast or fluffy carb in this only some slight hope of seeing some northern lights in the darkness.
