Happiness? Perhaps everyone just try to find their own happiness in different ways.

First off, just like many other, I didn't expect much and only gave it a try because of PHS and HHJ. Unexpectedly, the drama is very well written in a way that i didn't imagine. I couldn't predict what is gonna happen next. Each characters have flaws and the writer always make sure to include it as tiny details which often overlooked. And of course my favorite character has to be Saebom and Yihyun. Saebom is badass female lead who had bad past which make her like to act first then think later and selfish sometimes. On other hand, Yihyun is smart male lead who believes that as a police he should lead and protect the resident and of course his love for 12 years, Saebom. Both characters have flaws and the writer make sure to include as tiny details which often overlooked. However, both characters filled in for each other. This drama isn't focus on romance but these two chemistry are just over the top and even their little moments holding hands make me excited. And I must say that main leads, Han Taeseok and other characters are all just trying to find their happiness just that everyone do it in different way. For instance, Andrew, his happiness is killing people and making people suffer but it's still a kind of creepy happiness for himself. The only thing I don't like about this is there are few plot holes, a bit rushed, it could have done better for last episode or extend it a bit. And of course, i would love to see season 2.

For acting, the casts did a great job, especially the main leads. Also the annoying residents and everyone else. The makeup and styling are definitely on point.

The music are in my playlist, even the bgm are good. My favorite one have to be " She " and " Heaven "

I'll definitely watch it again!

The anti-hero female lead who we all love

It is a story about the stereotypical evil second female lead whose life is ruined but is given a second chance to redeem herself or more like save her family. Her second life revolves three male leads. However, there is also a big plot twist which I’m not gonna spoil as it’s the most important part of the story.

Our female lead, Hua Qian, is definitely the best part of this drama. She’s become smart, strong, cool, calm and badass due to the pain she suffered in her first life. She’s not the crybaby female lead who needs a prince in shining amour to save her. As her second journey goes, we can’t help but guess which of the three main leads is in her heart.

Zhong Xi Wu who’s in this life falls in love with her due to her changed personality (in previous life he fell for Mu Yao, the 2nd females lead there are more story to this but I won’t spoil). He’s the lord with controlling personality and willing to protecting female lead at all cost especially without her consent sometimes but he’s sincere and willing to look pass everything. Wheareas, Zhong Ye Lan, who she stole from Mu Yao, is now married with her. He is quite a coward and it’s hard to say whether he loves our female lead or not; however, he actually did something right for her near the end. Hua Rong Zhou is our female lead’s guard who has been loving her since he first saw her. He’s quite stubborn, cross the line sometimes but is willing to sacrifice his life for her. Each male leads have huge flaws which I cannot ship her with anyone.

The bond between female lead and her family is also worth mentioning. All of them started as the selfish family to sacrifice her lives for each other. Made me cry a lot.

All the actors and actresses did a fantastic job there. But I have to applaud Zhou Ye specifically. This drama really shows her range of acting and I was really impressed by her. And I love Ai Mi, she’s great as always. I’m glad to see the sly character of Li Yun Rui again.

I love the closing song 来(Come) by 陆虎(Lu Hu). It made me imagine and look forward the happy life that our Hua Qian deserves after those hardships at the end of every episodes.

I will definitely watch an again for the details that I miss during the early episodes. The twist was foreshadow in many episodes and in the title too. Whiling watching this. all I want is our female lead to be happy and I’m sure you’ll too as she suffers so much.
