A sad but value lesson
I don't know yet how to describe my feelings about this drama, but I'll start by saying that this was the saddest drama that I watched until now. I already know about the ending (no spoilers here), but I'm talking about the entire process and plot.
Starting with the performance of Seo In Guk, this is my second place in my top five of his dramas. His performance as Kim Moo Young/Kang Seon Ho is totally heartbreaking and I felt like crying every time that I saw him on the screen. The character was incredibly deep and make us think about how life can be tough to some people and how trauma could change everything in your life for good if you don't find out some kind of fortune in your path. With Yoo Jin Kang, the story goes the other way. I caught myself thinking many times who was the pitful one, and in which position I should prefer being if was me, but I really couldn't decide. Yoo Jin Kang had scars as Moo Young did (literally), and she was repressed by the wall that she built around her emotions as the same as him. Jung So Min is amazing, and I already say here that I love her. I really hope that she can shine in dramaland beautifully. The ahjussi Yoo Jin Gook was the most difficult part to process in this show. I begin loving him, and then I started to hate him, but at the end of it all, I finally comprehend him. He is the third traumatized in the main plot, and he let his trauma overcome the sense, confounding his fear with his love for Jin Kang. Park Sung Woong did an incredible job being cute and terrifying at the same time.
This is definitely not a drama that will make you happy and light, but will push you through a deep analysis of life and about stereotypes. The saddest thing to me was to think that this is real life in most part of cases. People who are hunted by its ghosts and aren't able to deal with it without struggling like crazy. It's a big lesson and a big warning.
This is a drama with many triggers, so certify to watch if you are feeling good with yourself and in a good moment. For me, definitely a chosen one (★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★) and definitely a drama that will be printed in my mind for a long time.
