What a Rollercoaster ...
... but a good Rollercoaster. Honestly, I was not expecting go get thrown a curveball E1. I saw it as one of those dramas that would be a slow start and the high ratings came from the climax, but this one came on swinging ... in a good way!
The story itself is ok. I think what really kept me rushing to click next episode and skip intro were the well-timed cliffhangers where you absolutely HAVE to know what the heck is going on. The story flows at a pace to keep you entertained and makes perfect sense ... until the last episode. I'm sure the more seasoned K-Drama fans know that the last episode is always a dude. The twists, turns, how things tie together and the reveals are worth the watch (again, this DOES NOT apply to the last episode because I don't think it was part of the same storyline). Another drama that I applaud for not making a love triangle the center of the story.
The acting I felt was chef kiss. You never knew who the antagonist and protagonist were until they decided to reveal it all, then the roles reversed and the actors really made it seamless. The chemistry between the two main leads was perfection. Some of those kisses definitely had me clutching my imaginary pearls.
The music was fitting. It wasn't anything that overtook or distracted you from a scene and they were songs that I'd find myself humming after a binge of a few episodes.
I think this has a decent amount of rewatch value if you find yourself a fan of the story. Some of the things that happen throw you for such a loop, you almost want to rewarch again to see if you had noticed anything differently.
Overall, I enjoyed this drama. Be warned, the last episode is so odd and not anywhere near fitting of the rest of the drama. Don't let it sway your ratings. The 11 episodes are addicting.
