Unexpectedly great

I only watched this show because I happened to spot Nam Joo Hyuk in it. I had no idea what to expect, but from the description I thought it would be a comedy like the movie Big. This show certainly did have funny moments, funny enough to make me laugh out loud. However, this show is definitely an intensely emotional rollercoaster and not a comedy.

The acting was amazing. Nam Joo Hyuk especially stood out to me because while I enjoyed him in the Bride of Habaek, he was completely different here, and I was unfamiliar with the other actors. This show goes to pretty dark places emotionally, and really takes viewers on a journey that will change their mindset.

To me this doesn’t feel like a normal show. It feels like a long film that should be nominated for an Oscar or something. I’m not saying it’s flawless, but I’m not the type to dissect every little imperfection. The ending of this show will be hated by some, but I think it’s very fitting. I can’t remember the last time a show made me tear up so much, or haunted me for so long after watching it. This show is an experience that will stay with the viewers for a long time.
