10 years have passed, but it is still a fresh drama, that is absolutely worth seeing

The topic is more relevant than ever: the way journalists tell the news, always having the truth at heart and not ratings and the spectacularization of events, especially the saddest ones.
The only criticism that could be made is the expedient at the basis of the story, i.e. stating that one person in forthy-tree cannot lie since every lie causes hiccups... Anyone of us knows more than 43 people and none of them have continuous hiccups, so the claim seems a bit extreme, or at least the statistical numbers a bit excessive for a story that wants to talk about reality. Despite this premise, the whole drama is told in a fairly realistic and believable way.

Both actors impressed me greatly. Lee Jong Suk is always a safe bet, but this time I found Park Shin Hye particularly good and full of expressiveness. She not only looked stunning, but she also did a fantastic job as an actress, defying a lot of the criticism she has faced in the past.

Special mention goes to... the best first NON-kiss in dramas, as well as one of the sweetest goodbyes between Main Lead and Female Lead

Second special mention goes to... the scenes between grandfather and Dal Po in episode 4. Very touching and full of humanity
