holy shit - i was absolutely sat for this series

storyline: i've never seen anything like it. there was underlying mystery, anticipation, and a true belief in the main character to find the right answers. i'm not a huge fan of overall angst, or breakup scenes, but everything in this series just made sense.

i watched it in one go, and i have absolutely no regrets. the episodes are pretty bite sized, and even though i have a tendency to skip through some series filler, i stayed alert for this one.

acting: hands down fantastic. i felt their emotions, worry, happiness, all of the above. my ability to become immersed in this fantasy world was extremely guided by the cast of this series. everyone was phenomenal. the only gripe i have is forcing yeowoon to become extremely puppy-like, pouty, or at points overwhelmingly smiley. this is probably just cultural differences in expression, but seeing yeowoon in a world without myungha extremely nonchalant made me kind of miss it during the times they were really close. i think that's just a me thing, but overall, i absolutely loved the talent in this cast.

the end had me crying, and though i'm a big baby, this series definitely deserved my tears. it's a story about second chances, rewriting failed second chances, a story of desire, and redemption after giving up on the cruel reality of life.

absolutely recommend, like i said, among the top Korean BL's i've ever seen. definitely deserves its stars.
