It's a serious drama, something I usually avoid. However, I liked the cinematography of the episodes which keeps getting brighter n vibrant as the story progresses, indicating the emotions of the leads. The drama made me cry, especially for the female lead a lot many times. Things are not spoken out loud and struggles are not explained in great detail. That's why I mentioned that if u hv deep understanding of emotions you'll get it. Especially since the makers left it on the audience to understand it by keeping the camera on the actor for a loner span n the leads, especially the lead expresses even d miniscule emotions so beautifully like the way his gaze will shift or a head tilt.... I can't completely explain but if you're a fan of detailed acting, this drama n especially the male lead will provide that a lot.
The story keeps progressing and doesn't seem stuck as some others suggested, but that's my personal opinion. It's a great drama. Only two episodes are left to release but based on the 14 episodes I've seen, I'll say it's definitely in my top 5 all time fav kdramas. Any drama which is successful in making me feel any sort of emotion strongly, is a good drama to me. And this drama successfully did that. And that too multiple times!
Whenever I was hoping that the ml gave the fl a hug cuz she really needs one, and voila they hugged for the first time just then! When I thought, I hope they don't kiss here cuz even though the tension is high but it's too soon or not apt now, the drama delivered the same emotions thru the scene.
It wasn't that I was trying to think from the drama's or director's story telling pov but the drama seemed to be thinking from my pov. What emotions I hoped the leads would deliver in a particular scene, they delivered. That's something I loved abt this drama.
It's definitely worth a watch. Maybe decide yourself if u can think in the same frequency as the characters. If you do, maybe you'll enjoy the drama like me. Or maybe you won't and feel it was slow paced. But I would totally recommend to watch it atleast once.
