Rewatch Review : Amazing even after 8 years!

Maybe it was a youtube edit video I saw or maybe a comment I read here on MyDramalist, I am not sure how but somehow I thought of this show on a long weekend in 2024 & I wanted to Rewatch it (even though I've a long unending list of currently watching drama & plan to watch list). I just had to watch this show again and I did.

One word: Amazing

Story is the ace for this show. The idea and its execution is what made it so enjoyable. The OSTs rocked, I still have few of them downloaded in my old phone. Actors, too, did an amazing job. Now that I am watching it again, I am able to recognise so many of them from their later works. They really have an Avengers worthy cast here.
The Screenwriter has my respect. I'll be on lookout for her future works. She really blends the fantasy elements well in contemporary tales.

I still remember when I saw this first time around when it was airing. I've been a huge fan of LJS & Suzy is cool too. But this time, it hit me even more, maybe because I binged watched it in 1&1/2 days. Jung Hae In as a second lead was chef's kiss. I am personally not a fan of love triangles. And this show has such clever writing, it handled the cliche well. I was surprised that I forgot details about the cases in the show and it was positive point for the re-watch. I was wondering maybe I'll be fast forwarding too much but that didn't happen. Thoroughly enjoyed this show even more at rewatch.

I know there must be a very small percentage of kdrama watchers, who might not have had a chance to get to know this gem yet. If you are one, please go ahead and give this a chance. Enjoy watching ~~
