This was beyond fun, I usually drop this genre in midway or at least skip a third of it but this one was so good, ugh , I love the world building and I love the message behind it , also the romance, it was super cute with a one of the best male lead characters ever. I was ready for a cringe fest cold male lead but dang that was a total 180 there, perfect husband material I tell you. Female lead was a bit classic in someways but I love how she kept a perfect balance between a pitiful orange and a strong princess XD. She was just so cute and likable, for real though, it's hard to not like that actress, she just melts your heart.
The only thing I didn't like to much was the lack of romance scenes, in the japanese version I liked them together…
What a twist though, it's always the kdrama versions put the unnecessary romance to jdrama originals, kinda refreshing to see the opposite.
p.s. Though, weirdly enough I wanted some romance in a drama for the first time, I mean those two had that chemistry spot on, fingers crossed for a future romcom collaboration.
Can I just cry? I love crime/suspense genre but this one gave me a sense of longing similar to "signal". I can't believe how attached I feel towards to our characters, they were so heartbreakingly beautiful and flawed. * sigh *I want to give a huge hug to gahyun and hyungjoo, they're just one those characters that shall stay with me. Also, I can't give enough thanks to production team for bringing out such a special drama to us.
I'll be rewatching random episodes of this whenever I want to feel it's warmth again. This is such a wonderful, brilliant drama. A true slice of life done to perfection. I haven't read the novel(I'm desperately searching for an original or translated ebook copy, yet no avail so far) but I believe the drama is very loyal to the source material. When it's done right, a drama/movie based on a book can create magic, which in my opinion is what happened in this case. I just love this drama, this is my morning filter coffee and afternoon earlgrey tea, the little treats I give to myself in the form chocolate and the rising sun that shines on my face, a blazing sunset that fills my heart and a full moon serenity at night. This drama is like every little happiness that makes up your life.
Just watched the first two episodes. Amazing. Can’t wait to continue to marathon this one
As much as I hate waiting for each episode, this one deserves and needs to be watched that way, each week is so full of thrill and comments are such a joy to read.
Okay the twist in the ep18 was heartbreaking, expected yet still heartbreaking. P.s. That scene where Hyung Jo imitaded Ga Hyun was so cute^-^, after this I need them to shoot a romcom.
honestly youngwoong has it ROUGH.poor boy got bullied to the extent of changing his name and dieting, had a lying…
I kinda ship Serin and Youngwoo now, like in a world where Serin plays her cards right and not turn into a stalker, they could fit well when you think about it. Idk. One way or another everyone on this show seems to be pitiful, even the extras in the background might have a heart wrenching story. Sans Go Jae Young that piece of sh*t.
I didn’t really like Se Rin from the beginning .. I don’t know why but something about her was putting me…
Serin was off putting from the get go and I was mad at her after the number she took on Ga hyun and Bae Jun Tae but damn, her death was so pitiful. She was a poor soul afterall, I hope at the end someone can reset and save her and others.
I love this show, it's my cup tea but aside from all the awesomeness of the story , acting, production and everthing can we just appreciate how Lee Joon Hyuk has a good guy role(hopefully it'll stay that way till the end). He has that perfect romcom face and feel yet almost all the dramas I've seen him(6 out of 7), he was the jerk, not the mention that he was in the supporting cast. Only in City Hunter he was an upright character yet those who've seen it know how he ended up. Give this guy a romcom lead, I hate romance in Thriller/Mystery/Police dramas but when you have a romcom goddess such as Nam Ji Hyun next to you, there has to be something going on and since everyone seems is dying one by one, I'm not really against a bit of fluff in the midst of everything.
This writer&director combo creates pure magic, I don't even know how they can come up with such a great production each time. 3 episodes in and it's already a classic.
I'm a sucker for cliche endings but this one was such a bore and it has to be the first time I gradually started to dislike the male lead or should I say he became more and more uninteresting. Yiseo and Saeroyi's hug/confession scene in the midst of kidnapping was ridiculous, I've seen lot of audacious stuff but the drama settings made them okay yet this was so out of character for Yiseo and the situation itself felt comedic. Jang Daehee's kneeling scene felt like it was for the sake of it, Saeroyi was never a pushover so we didn't need this scene to learn it. aaaaand SooAh, till the very end she stays as my favourite, she is beyond freaking awesome, I think her character had the most potential along with Geun Won and I'm glad they've at least scored one out of two. Also I totally ship her with Park Bogum now, their combination would be a total eye candy.
Actually you know what, I'm pissed, like... they just threw away a perfect chance to make this drama something really special for the sake of a couple hugs/kisses/all the mushy stuff. Geun Won&Dahee&Geun Soo, this trio had tremendous potential to relay a beautifully corrupted famial relationship but they went ahead and made Geun won&Dahee your typical villians to the point they've lost all of their interesting points. They've deserved more, I mean in the kidnapping scene between Geun Won and Geun Soo there was this beautiful moment, a couple of more sentences could've served some justice to their relationship but nope, writer probably opted out for that stupid confession scene. Also the phone conversation between GW&DH * sigh * at least give them a face to face talk for god sake.
Anyways I'm so done, I like to rewatch dramas but this one won't be one of them.

p.s. The ratings were such a shame though.
