wow what a journey... watching this as it aired made it a lot more intriguing

plot: yes, this lakorn is about romance. but not just that, there's so much more going on that you probably won't skip the side plots. Each character had a definite good or bad persona but they still had depth by doing questionable things occasionally. the main couple was of course cliche but the side characters all had very unpredictable things going on, so that was fun to guess. lakorns have a tendency to drag the ending but not for this one! the last few episodes were actually the ones I liked the most. also, one thing I really liked was that they didn't romanticize rape like at all, that's so important to me considering previous lakorns I watched where the guy gets off scot free or is even forgiven.

acting/ cast: so happy to see Louis in another ml role, his acting is getting better for sure. his character wasn't perfect and yet he was very likeable, not anti-hero at all. wasn't​ a huge fan of the fl's character as she was supposed to be somewhat childlike, they probably should've chosen a younger actress, however, I liked that she was honest about her feelings and didn't shy away from them. the interactions between them were very respectful, unlike many lakorns I have seen. I liked Kim's sister, expecting her to be naive and selfish, she was actually quite a complex character that was stuck in the middle of hin and Kim.

music was average, nothing extraordinary

overall, I would say watch it if you also enjoy the plot/suspense as much as the romance. once you start watching, you will become curious about the ending for each character so much that sometimes you might even forget about the romance or main couple.
