Unexpectedly blew me away

Wow.. I'm like speechless with this thing here. Wasn't expecting much but it delivered.
So where do I begin, The main casts members are doing a phenomenal work, their acting suffered heavily in the beginning especially the FL but throughout the drama she improved and performed her best. Doing such a role must've been heavy for them and difficult to a certain degree, but they nailed it throughout the drama.

Also liked the story of side characters and how they learned to deal with their life problems.

The plot was nothing we're not familiar with already but how each scene is played is what makes this drama worth while.
Throughout the drama I keep thinking the possibility that they might not be real siblings and the mother may reveal some birth secret. But nothing of that sort happened.

The mother is the worst character, how can she say that "she gave birth to her daughter for her son only", a normal response would've been "because she wanted another child", the way she said it felt like she doesn't care for her at all. And I feel like mother is the main cause of all this. From the childhood she put in her mind that she's only there for her brother. This really affected her psychologically.

Other than this, I've got no clue what kind of message this drama is sharing. But one thing is certain there are many types of love including this one, even though that sort of relationship is considered strictly forbidden/taboo and for a good reason.

I don't know what else to write since this is my first review, all I can say is that if you're thinking of watching this then be prepared for the ride. It's slow and might feel boring at some point but it has wonderful support cast and excellent calm paced story telling, have to watch it with open mind though.

Not a masterpiece or anywhere close but somehow I managed to finish it in one go which is kind of surprising to me. Anyway liking or disliking depends on one's perspective and vision of things. I would recommend do give this a try before judging.

A big thanks to the subtitle team.
