great plot, mid execution
thanks to this drama i realized i don't like to binge revenge dramas, and that i prefer to watch them as they air.park minyoung is one of my favorite actreess and i loved watching a drama that styled her her age. her performance was immaculate and really helped you feel her pain.
jeong sumin became one of my favorite villians and i really wish the second half of the revenge was focused on her, as i feel she had potential to do a lot of damage. she had so much potential, i really wish we had gotten a change to see her thrive because oh yara opaqued her.
overall a great drama. i wish the production team had done better to bring it to life in terms of plot and pacing.
ps: i loved the bts nod here! finding out you're not the only one in the past because of a bts song was neat.

too fast paced!
i think it would've been great if this drama were 16 episodes long as usual because the romance between the two leads fell too fast-paced and unrealistic at times, but if it were longer i think it would've been best for the development of the story.i feel like the murder sub plot was unnecesary as it didn't really help with the story... why did the uncle want to kill seoha? why did his mother came back in a new body to torment miss jang? was it just to help ferment the story of past lives? anyway i thought it could've all been wrapped up if we only had more time.
shin hyesun is one hell of an actress though and she deserves her flowers with the way she carried the last two episodes!

a classic
I understand now why people always recommend this show. It is one of the best dramas ever. I loved the characters, the actors and the story overall.Nam Joohyuck is one of my favorite actors and I decided to watch this because I missed him and I haven’t watched most of his work. Some of the dialogue and actions of the characters reflect the era when it was created, so at times I was a bit iffy to continue, but those moment didn’t overshadow the story as a whole and I’m glad I continued because it’s such a great drama, it makes sense why it’s considered a classic amongst the kdrama community.
They went overboard with the side storylines so I would bump them a star just because of that, and the mother returning was useless to the main storyline but it was well done.
This is definitely one of those dramas I’ll be rewatching in the future, it’s become a comfort show for me.
