Regarding the music in scenes this drama tends to be more silent than most of the series in this genre category (e.g. I liked the OST it's nice but I feel like it didn't match the story. There is not much to say about the music here. Although I must admit that the person who stole all the scenes for me was Kim Da Som - my eyes drifted to her every time she was on the screen. As for Kim Kwon at first I wasn't sure about him, something about his acting method rubbed me the wrong way, but after ending the series I must say he portrayed his character very well. Finally, there is the amount of long-winded, all-talking scenes which for me could have been shorter or shot in other, more interesting way, but it may be just me and my short span of attention.Īcting in this series was exceptionally good, Park Jin Young and Shin Ye Eun have really nice chemistry and both of them have the abilities to show a wide range of emotions without me feeling like some of them are faked. There is also the problem of pacing - I feel like the narrative is running like crazy in some episodes and then it's slow and lazy in others and I'm not sure if I like it. This may create a feeling of dissonance in the story and could have been easily avoided if only there was more mixing between the two parts. It may feel like this drama is not sure what it wants to be, the first part of this series is mainly romance whilst the second is much more centered around the thriller narrative. I do however, have some reservations or objections. That's why I like it, the story gave me some fuzzy feelings with romance and all, but more importantly it gave me what most of the dramas doesn't shock, frustration (the good kind of one) and heartache. However, that's what I like the most about this series creators weren't afraid of breaking the (for the lack of the better word) "rules" of making certain type of drama and that may not please most of the fans, but it certainly adds depth, suspense and shock to the story, well, at least for me. I get it, it's different from most of k-dramas (especially those categorized as rom-coms) because the ending may seem unfair, sad or like for me bitter-sweet. I read few reviews and I can see not everyone liked the story. Also that's my first review I hope it's helpful. English is not my native language, so I'm sorry if there are some errors. I may be biased but I'll try my best not to. Rewatch Value 3.0 I started watching this drama because it's my favorite genre combo - I love thriller + romance/rom-com combo and I watched quite a few of dramas like that. To sum up, the drama is worth watching, for the original plot as well the skilled actors, but could have been much better plot-wise. If you paid enough attention to what was going on, you knew what would happen next, and in my opinion, the writers didn't succeed in building up anticipation and dread, which are vital for that kind of thriller drama. Which leads me to the main point of my critique: suspense fell flat almost all through the drama for me. The plot revealed too much, too quickly: the multiple flashbacks sure were interesting and nice, but I do believe they weren't exploited to the maximum of their potential.
Although it was a nicely built story, I was still bothered by some incoherences and the inevitable moments of boredom. Well that's where the drama loses points. So after praising the actors, I should praise the plot right? I have to say, they are backed by two actors who did more than good Kim Kwon and Kim Da Som perfectly embraced their roles and they grasped the personalities of their characters in a way it makes it easy to jump right into the plot. However Park Jin Young and Shin Ye Eun quickly turned out to be fascinating through the raw emotions they conveyed: they don't try too hard nor not enough, they are spontaneous and hit the emotions just right. I usually think they don't bring enough depth to the characters, that they try too hard and makes it difficult to take them seriously - idols are not actors after all.
Rewatch Value 3.0 This drama kind of caught me off guard: I started watching it with a prejudice against idols acting.
