Good suspense with engrossing romance


Deserves the hype! You know it's a good suspense thriller when stakes are high, it's just the right amount of bonkers crazy, and you're worried as heck about the fate of the leads on the show that you can't stop playing that next episode.

I admit I'm weak for this type of romance, a bit messed up, high stakes, tortured misunderstood hero and the love and trust of a good woman despite the odds, and everybody even fate are turning their backs on him. He obviously cares for his family and jumps hoops for them, but he can't express it as we do.

Ji Won understandably felt very betrayed by all the lies, but later on remembers all the everyday little things her husband does for her. The way he takes care of Eun Ha, he cooks for them, comforts her when she is stressed out at work, it doesn't need to be grand. He was always there for her.

I have to say Moo Jin has to be my fave character on the show. His frenemy relationship with Hyun Su (Lee Jun Ki) is both comical and fascinating. He half-hates Hyun Su but assists all the time, he just can't help it, and gets caught up in all the Do siblings troubles. Never expected it to be like that, after their first tense encounter. And his rekindled romance with Hae Soo, I ship them so badly.

Kim Ji Hoon definitely needs to be in more dramas again, looking crazy good with that long hair. (spoilers) Because of the highs of the show, I'm a bit underwhelmed by the ending, I understand why the writer gave Hyun Su some memory loss, it's a chance for him to be reborn without all the burdens. But the execution was a bit chunky. Oh well, it's been a good run, and hopefully serves as reminder to look beyond initial prejudice and biases.
