From Confusing Start to Addictive Masterpiece: A Visually stunning Drama with Emotional Ride

I am not a reviewer person, but for this drama I can't not review.

This started out confusing with many different sides coming together and fighting each other, no clear protagonist and antagonist, no background introduction for each character, but it hooks you in with it's plotline. The 'secret' is not unnecessarily dragged and does not cause the cliche misunderstanding that was usually seen in c-dramas and as a visual creature, I also must admit the awesomeness of the cinematography in every scenes and striking visual. The plotline is unfolding like peeling onions, you need to remember previous subtle hints to understand what the scenes meant. It becomes clearer with each hints added. Though I admint the time jump can sometimes be so abrupt, you need to rewind to catch up.

I personally binge watched this series in less than 24 hours, what started with 'we'll see' soon turned into 'NO I must watch this till the end'. But a little warning, you'll need to prepare tissues if you feel hardly for the chars in the stories...

Well, that's from me, you can have your own opinion after watching it. Rewatch value: 8/10 (crying takes a lot of energy.. +.+)
