Well now....there sure are two camps to this drama. I think what's impt is that both camps watched the whole thing....(at least most from my scan of the comments).... I already like the female lead since My Golden Life and everything since...so I knew I'd like whatever she did here. She is reliably great.
Lee Dong Gun should just stick to ML roles. He is such a good actor and so good-looking that any part where he's not the lead isn't taking advantage of him. Except one - in Queen for 7 Days, he blew that character off the screen.... As far as I am concerned there were 2 male leads there. In this drama, though, he was in a regular 2nd male lead role . Every step of the way, I just kept thinking he has so much more potential they could add to the story. No harm, no foul though.
Finally, "L" was the refreshing component for me. I already have him on my Up & Coming Fav Male Actor's list. This drama is his best so far and showcased a whole new set of acting dimensions. He's so talented in this that from here on, he better not be in anything other than a male lead role. And he's the only male character I can think of that makes sense and looks phenomenal in a pink suit. I love his one song he made for this show too. It hits home everywhere its used. Beautiful. https://youtu.be/RCjtm1x0kLw He brings so much to that table as an artist and is super handsome to boot.
Then ending for me....too interpretive. I *think* I get what happened but am second-guessing myself. I think they should have been more crystal clear here...no need to creating all thispost-drama angst. In this case, I'm not upset about it enough to rip the writers a new one, but I am feeling a little deflated. Is it worth watching?...absolutely YES. It's a good story with good actors and good acting. Is it the best I've ever seen? Nope....but I loved watching it and was compelled each week to watch the eps. Enjoy if you haven't watched yet.
