I was skeptical about this drama and I thought it will be standard - in the beginning interesting, then in the end the focus will get to romance and everything else will be forgotten, but I was WRONG. I watched all 16 episodes for three days. The drama hooked me from the beginning to the end. Of course when I meet this kind of drama, it goes to my favorites. Scenario/Writing: Great story for family, not ordinary rich-poor or genius-stupid couples. And most interesting was the love between family members. The writers surprised me a lot with every episode and I was more curious even when I found out the main characters intrigues. In “Love me if you dare” – similar drama scenario when I found out who is who and what exactly wants from others, I got bored. Here this didn’t happen. Story progression: It was balanced, but in the final series it was a bit forced, because in first there wasn’t even a hint or at least I didn’t see it for certain character story. Music: Good music, but somehow I didn’t feel it related to drama plot and characters relations. Acting: Without a doubt the acting was fabulous. I felt all character’s emotions through their eyes, relationships and touches. Everyone played as he/she is in reality those drama characters. The actors really took to heart their roles. I was amazed. Relationships Development: Slow, but deep. I didn’t get only the “romance” part – when and how the main male lead fell for the main female lead. I didn’t feel their “romance” between woman and man, mostly as brother and sister. It was somehow forced or as if their “kiss” are only done because of watchers and nothing more. But in family and team members’ relations I felt it all. Every other relationship outside “romance” was really deep, strong and beautiful in its own way. Characters: They are strong and unique in their own way. They developed a lot through the dram as real people do. I love that. It felt more real, not as on a movie. Somehow I got attached to all the characters and I looked at them as people who I meet every day and with whom I can build friendship. Starting: It was interesting, unique in its own way and a bit standard. The series didn’t get dull till the end. Ending: Great, realistic ending, I like it a lot, is not the standard ending for K-dramas. No real closure, but in life is also like that. Some scenes of course were a bit forced, but I didn’t really care, because the all episodes I watched made me feel curious and interested. Sad, this drama ended, but it’s better this way then doing some season 2, where the things might go downfall. Chemistry: Unique chemistry between ALL the characters, especially bromances. Their chemistry is really strong. Romance – not so much. It seems the main leads have great chemistry between them, but not very well acted. This part is because I don’t give 10 of the drama. I love to feel the real chemistry. Life lessons: Choices – everyone has them in every situation. Also – you should accept people how they are and to not blame yourself, because you had a reason for everything. Another lesson: Running away doesn’t help at all. Hope doesn’t help too. Family – in blood or not is the most important thing that keeps you sane and true to yourself. All in all, one of my favorite dramas. I will watch it again and highly recommend it to all bromance fans, also to criminal genre fans. Not to all who want to watch Romance and Stupid-normal-hurt-good-girl fell in love with rich-genius-arrogant-hurt man. Here the things are deeper and are about the bonds between people’s hearts.
