The gayest non-BL to ever exist
If it weren't produced in Korea but in China, I would've thought it was a censored BL drama.
Honestly, it would've been less gay if these two main leads had finally kissed than whatever they had going on. Even the promotion for this drama was typically BL-styled.
Even though Pio Kang had a female love interest, their relationship completely lacked chemistry, and he didn't seem to give a damn about her either. It could easily be explained by his character or his traumas, if only he didn't act completely differently around Choi Jeong Yo. Not to mention the tension between them.
What the creators mastered was making Pio Kang and Choi Jeong Yo's actions and feelings completely justified by their history, while at the same time making them seem to go far beyond that. That really irritated me.
For me, the first half of the episodes was okay, but the real magic started in the second half.
I really liked the mystery aspect of the plot, and I was overwhelmed with emotions. Most of the time, I was holding my breath or crying. I liked the fact that we never really knew what might happen, and I enjoyed reading all the viewers' theories.
I have to praise all the actors because they delivered great performances. The costumes, scenery, and visual style were also amazing, but what deserves a special mention is obviously the music, which was the main axis of this show.
I was stunned by the skills of the musicians and amazed by the original pieces created for this drama. I was moved by every performance.
