I so enjoyed watching this show! The plot was fantastic and I was intrigued until the very end. The acting was pretty solid, especially the emotional scenes. The main leads had really great chemistry and I enjoyed the progression of their relationship. The fact that we didn't know how Phob died until later in the show was great because it allowed the watcher to try to figure out what happened to him and be suspicious towards a lot of the side characters. I was not expecting to cry, but cry I did. The play episode was really special and I really felt emotionally invested in Phob and Ben's relationship, which is a true testament to the script as well as the actors because I think they only had like two episodes together. The last episode was absolutely fantastic and had be BAWLING like the last 20 minutes. The ONLY reason this show wasn't a 10/10 was because of the whole unexplained mystery light thing. Was it aliens? Was it a spirit? I guess we'll never know. It was an interesting concept, just wished they had followed through.
I 100% recommend this drama!

Need To See This Version
Disclaimer: This is an edited version of my original review I posted on the cut version of this series.This series is not for you if you don’t like paranormal story lines with a side of sci-fi. If it is, you are in for a treat.
I love this series even with the bittersweet ending. It had a great original storyline and script. The cast did an awesome job with their characters. This had a great music and beautiful cinematograph. was great and the special effects were used very strategically. I liked how they incorporated several nods to Lovely Writer in some of the earlier episodes.
Random Note:
I strongly recommend watching this version if you have access to it. As I stated in my original review, the editing of the free cut version was horrible. They cut a lot of scenes which made some of the episodes disconnected and/or confusing. The cut version had many scenes missing that were needed to help the viewers fully understand and appreciate what is going on. They also cut scenes involving the backstories of the side characters.

Be ready to cry
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this show. What I enjoyed the most was that the plot was well thoughtout and not contrived. Just people living their lives, making mistakes and dealing with the consequences of those mistakes. Every character had a well fleshed out backstory and the cast did an amazing job acting out their roles. I thought I could go through the whole show without crying but the last scene got me good. Overall, it was wonderful series with great deal of mystery, comedy and great character development and chemistry.Was this review helpful to you?
