The premise of this drama and the high ratings already convinced me to give this drama a go but the main soundtrack was the final push. I went into this not knowing any of the actors but they did not disappoint. I was pulled into the story so quickly right from the first few minutes of episode 1. The rest of the drama went by very quickly and I couldn't stop thinking about it. It did not help that the ost was so catchy. So catchy and sad.

The drama covers a very serious and dark topic but the writers managed to tell it with a lot of thought and seriousness about portraying it correctly. I can tell they spent a lot of time researching and that they want to send a message to the victims of similar experiences. They cover the aspects from all perspectives after the assault- the victim, victim's family and friends, and partners. It evens goes as far to show how the perpetrator and their family might handle the assault and its repercussions. The ripple effects of the assault affects everyone's lives and we can clearly see it in the drama. Moreover, the director chose to film everything to perfectly show Lin Chen Xi's mental state and her breakdown. The drama does not look down on the trauma and respectfully shows how deep it scars and how long it takes to heal. There are moments where you get hints of what is reality and what is the past. Watching this drama gives you a good look at what happens to victims of sexual assault. It is thought provoking, emotional, and angering at the same time. The story telling was skillfully pieced together for viewers.

Most importantly, the acting is amazing! Lin Chen Xi is a heavy character to play but Tiffany Hsu and Charlize did great. They were very convincing and it must have been hard. Toby was also great at making two different roles but making them both attractive in their own ways. I really like Lin Chen Xi and Li Hao Ming. I hope we all have a Li Hao Ming in our lives to support us in our darkest times. All the older actors, even the teacher Hsieh, were great. I was most surprised at how good Chris Wu was at his role as Danny- first time seeing him like that and it was shocking. Those were all tough roles but they were amazing. There really are some great Taiwanese actors. Will be keeping an eye on a couple of these actors. ;)

Overall, I really liked how the writers chose to tell this story and the message they are trying to send to viewers and sexual assault victims. It might be too heavy for some but it is worth giving a try. Taiwanese dramas really not afraid to cover any topic whether it is dark or not, and I love that. They also do it so well! Hoping to see more dramas with deep stories like this one.
