not lying when i say its one of the best shows ive ever watched

aside from mr sunshine, i genuinely think this is one of the best tv shows to ever exist.

the story is amazing and very captivating, just making you want to know more. this show also has the best plot twists ive seen in kdramas. i felt it was very welly thought out when they were writing this. this show made me discover emotions i didnt even know existed. you just felt pity for every character, no matter if they were a good or bad person. i loved that idea of messed up households in a rich place like hera palace. they all had big problems that werent easy fixes, not just one person was to blame.

the acting is literally oscar worthy. all of them, even the younger cast did such a great job. kim soyeon and uhm kijoon are such good stand outs. they both executed the roles of cheon seojin and joo dantae very well, and its expected as they are both great at acting. lee jiah and eugene also did amazing. in conclusion they all are great actors and deserve oscars.

i totally loved the concept of the cheong ah arts school with the opera singing. the music is very memorable to me, i always remember that track you would always hear at the end of each episode or when there was a plot twist etc(lmao i don’t remember what its called, its the most popular one i think). the music just put the whole show together i feel.

i would always rewatch this if i was in a drought era. very intense show to keep watching but it works for me. theres also something to laugh about maybe once in a while, just that basic comedic relief.

but yeah thats pretty much all i have to say. the moral of the story is that i totally recommend watching this, if you could handle all that emotion… so yes i warn you before you try getting into it that there is a lot of twists and turns that can just make you tear up.
