I don't normally like writing reviews, because the things that I like and enjoy don't necessarily reflect on the quality of a drama. I also don't think that just because I didn't enjoy something, that the drama should suffer because I liked it less; nor do people need to hear me rant online a lot. I liked a lot of things about this drama, overwhelmingly including Min's performance and the story itself. The production was top tier, the music and cinematography also stellar, and the satisfaction ending of the assaulters dying in the end. I only have one complaint with this series, and that the character of Jay felt lackluster. I don't necessarily blame the actor, but the character itself never got over his obsession with Sun. I never once felt that he actually truly liked him more than just a concept of a person, and the experience of that one amazing time back when he was at his lowest. Except, I didn't really feel him at his lowest because I never really saw his pain. We saw plenty of Sun's pain, and plenty of times for him to heal through the new people introduced into his life, and through him accepting his past and wrongdoings, and realizing that the revenge he wanted wasn't going to cure his own guilt and pain. However I never once saw vulnerability within Jay, nor that he was really able to be just a normal person with Sun; He always had to be this ownership and in control persona, and I wasn't a fan. I had no real reason to root for him to be with Sun other than that he provided a means to an end at one point and that Sun liked him, did he even like him back other than the fact that he was obsessed with him in a lust way? The rest of the series was absolutely magnificent and the cast and crew really outdid themselves. I definitely want to see more from this director and cinematographer.
