Superb drama that explores the grey areas in life
First of, this drama gives off a new flavor on the romance genre, it has that unique charm that other dramas lack of which is warmth and sincerity. At first, I was hesitant because crime and romance isn't really a genre that mix together quite well but through this drama, I realized it is possible. What I love about this drama is that more than romance, they focused on the complexity of each characters development and explored the relationships between the characters on a deeper level. On the downside, I wasn't really happy about some parts where they try to give off piece by piece information about the past because personally for me doing the flashbacks are only effective if there's an impact or tension but on this one it's like they're giving out Q&A. You know the answer but you're just waiting to confirm if you're correct. I just thought it would be better if they completed the past then gave flashbacks only if necessary. Nonetheless, this drama is still great because it's not too dreamy and really close to reality.
Anyway another thing I really commend on this drama are the casts and their excellent acting skills. I felt the continuity of the story from the past and present. I really felt like the younger ones grew up for real. They had the same facial expression, same attitude and characteristics. Out of all dramas I watched that dealt with past and present, I can confidently say that this is the best among them. I am also shocked to see myself empathizing on an antagonist which lies on the grey area, portraying as the bad guy but is really warm inside. The best part of this drama is that, the events are negative and unfortunate but the characters remain positive and tried to solve the problem without getting swayed by it. Other dramas usually gives tragic scenes where it is completely unfair that the characters were forced to change, sometimes sacrificing something that's really precious to them but this drama is different. It allowed the characters to grow together while fighting together and also grow individually on their own as time passes.
This is really a hidden gem as indicated on the article where I discover this drama. I didn't mind being sad with the characters because I feel their sincerity and care towards each other which makes me believe that sadness is something we feel because we are human. Instead of running away, we must embrace it so that we can grow for the better.
