It's one of those dramas that don't let you leave your seat until it's over
One of the best dramas of 2020 that I've watched and a solid 10/10!!I don't usually leave reviews but this one, I had to~~
Moon Chae Won and Lee Joon Gi gave amazing acting, their expressions were on point! I could really see the emotions being portrayed and I felt like I was living through the story with them. It was sad, thrilling, exciting, and just heart breaking.
*Spoilers ahead*
Firstly, I felt so sad for Ji Won - she reallyyy loved him and then when the truth came out, you could tell from her acting and expressions and the choices that she made...that her world just crumbled. It was so sad and heart breaking to see that even she couldn't believe what and why these things are happening to her.
Secondly, Lee Joon Gi. That's it. He is a work of art HAHAH his acting was also on point as both a loving husband and a potential psychopath. I think the drama didn't really conclude whether he is or isn't a psychopath, but I would like to think that he is, considering the choices he made and how the character was portrayed. But i'm really glad to see at the end that he makes the effort to be "normal" and to really find himself for who he is, and not as a murderer's son.
Thirdly and lastly, Baek Hee Seong! I actually thought he was innocent until Hae Su went over to the house and there was a scene showing him eavesdropping on the conversation while biting his nails...OMG. That. Scene. I was terrified by his expression and the look in his eyes. His acting was phenomenol.
Conclusion: this drama is a very strong contender for drama of the year and the OST "Feel You" should also win OST of the year because it is amazing and just by listening to it, i can already relive all the scenes in the drama

Zhou Sun's Debut Feature!
It's crazy how this is a debut film! It feels like one of those films from experienced directors and casts.It's a coming-of-age story about a 14-year old girl who is struggling with the death of her mother, bullying, and finding her own voice amidst everything that is going on.
The main lead doesn't talk much in this film, she's a very introverted girl who obviously has a lot going on in her mind. Instead of talking, the emotions are portrayed by the facial expressions and showing what she is thinking in her mind. And because there isn't much dialogue, it makes you pay attention to all the little details going on, which I love! Often times, the movie goes back and forth between the past and present - when the mother was alive and after her death.
It can get a little confusing but after finishing it and thinking about it (it's a movie which makes you think a lot btw!), you'll realize that it actually made sense!
Acting wise, I thought it was amazing (the actress is only 15 years old!!).
Music wise, I actually didn't pay attention to that...there wasn't any attractive music played in the film.
Overall, 8.5/10 - if you are a movie enthusiast, you should give this a try! but for lovers of lighthearted and casual movies, this may be quite boring! :)

Firstly, I've always enjoyed watching suspense, crime, and psychological genres so it's no surprise I liked this as much. But other than that, the cast portrayed each emotions perfectly and I felt that there were no annoying side characters at all! It's like everyone was a puzzle piece, each having its importance in the story.
Secondly, this drama got me thinking on a lot of things. Are psychopathic tendencies hereditary? How are families affected by their own family member? and what is true pain?
I am a rather deep thinker and I love reading/watching stuff that make me think & ponder on the what ifs. This drama definitely did make me think about those what ifs.
Jang Ki Yong played such a perfect role of Na Moo, who has a trauma from his upbringing and who had to witness his own father murder the family of the girl he loved. And Jin Ki Joo's acting was superb as well - all the emotions of a wounded person but still having the courage to live & love.
All in all, this is an easy 10/10!! Everything about this drama was SO good - I highly recommend to anyone! Re-watch value is low for me cuz I don't usually re-watch dramas and since this drama is able to leave such a great impact, you won't ever forget it :)
