The idea of the red thread behind this story makes this so much more than a simple romance.

Love stories in general can be beautiful, tragic, heartwarming etc. This story somehow manages to be everything. The concept of the red thread brings a whole new layer and depth that allows for exploration of topics such as death, mourning, atonement and regret. It gets quite heavy, but all of that is beautifully balanced by the promise of a kind of do over. Korn and Intouch’s story just broke my heart but Dean and Pharm’s put it back together. What’s more the families are healed to the extent they can be. I really loved that. This show handles it’s dark subject matter very skillfully. I cried watching this and that doesn’t happen to me often.

The characters are all fairly easy to like. My heart went out to Korn especially. What a difficult life to be ostracized among your peers for your family’s bad reputation, to suffer your father’s expectations to do something you deem immoral, to have siblings you love and worry about only to have them be used against you, and to find someone who brings you happiness only for the most influential people in both your lives to forbid your relationship and hurt him in the process. I can’t say I blame him for seeing no way out.

The only character who at times got on my nerves was Pharm. The shyness was cute at first but his negative attitude toward Dean’s displays of affection and attraction was troubling. A couple mutually in love should be able to be demonstrative without being made to feel like a pervert for feeling up your own boyfriend’s behind. A lot of times I felt Dean deserved better. He’s a rare gem. Apart from being the sweetest, he also surprisingly delivered some of the smoothest lines ever.

The pacing of this series was quite slow but that was only an issue for me at a few points along the way. For the most part, it has enough going for it to hold your interest.

Finally, Ja as P’Sin was still damn hot, wig and glasses and all. ?
