Sadly, I am conflicted with this drama...

If you've read the synopsis then you'd be expecting the drama to fall on the psychological thriller side with heavy angst, drama and romance but no... Don't let the synopsis fool you.. Because, this drama (although had its moments of mystery and thrill) is mainly focused on the mellow side and slow burn romance between the ML and the FL..

Before I will discuss the Cons of this drama, I'll be first pointing out its Pros..

1. The Chemistry
- The ML and FL had a good chemistry. Both of them complemented each other in a way that despite their flaws, they were able to communicate with one another. This is what we definitely see as a "healthy relationship." I love the way how both of them were so cute and understanding. Their slow burn romance paved the way for their character development. Not to mention, their relationship is mature. I actually love how mature their conversations are and not the cringey or childish romances that we occasionally in some romantic comedy dramas.. Props for the writer for giving us an underrated mature couple.

2. Yoon Park Stole the show for me
- The way the actor portrayed the complexity of Ian Chase was actually good. The dark sombre vibes from him and the cold and unreadable gazes he gave to the people he interacted with was quite compelling. From the very beginning, his character captivated most viewers due to his mysterious character.

3. The Side Couples were interesting and they all showed different sides of relationships which are actually relatable.

4. Some of the OSTS are actually good. Especially the OST titled "In ruin" by Raiden. The lyrics are quite meaningful and symbolic. A perfect OST for the show, most especially the twin characters.

The Cons..
1. Execution of the plot
- I'm actually disappointed with how everything had turned out from the middle of the series until the end because the synopsis and genre tags of this drama doesn't do any justice to the content of the show. I repeat, don't let the SYNOPSIS fool you because like most of the viewers who watched this, the drama is purely focused on the melodramatic romance of the couple and less about the mystery or the psychological thrill. Unfortunately, I just find the first episodes to be so disconnected with the rest of the episodes.

- You indeed watched and felt the thrill and the mystery of the murder because that's how it all started, how the ML & FL got involved with it, but you won't be feeling that much on the rest of the episodes because most of the scenes are about their mundane life. The psychological thrill and mystery just faded out and seemed to be forgotten most of the time which is truly disappointing.

- Although, the back story provided information about the case and the people involved, it still (in the end) felt dry and lacking. The slow burn romance indeed was good because the ML & FL got to develop their relationship, but, it got boring and it was just too much for me. Every episode had its moment of cliff hangers and to be honest, I was mostly looking forward to the case or the murder and Ian chase because of his enigmatic character.

2. Ian Chase was an interesting character but the drama didn't show and explore his true potential. He was pitiful at the same time someone who is need of redemption.

- His character is somehow complex and deep for me. I find it disheartening that he had less screen time at the middle of the drama until the end. It would have been better if the character had more chances to interact with the ML & FL as well as within the case. His thoughts and perceptions regarding the unfairness of the world and how people like him just wants to be loved is depressing. His actions until the end are something that are hard to be forgiven, however, it actually makes us realize the importance of help or a pillar that one can lean on just like what the ML had said. The show also talked about Mental Health and it would have been better if it was addressed more since the ML is a psychiatrist.

3. Fillers that didn't have much significance to the plot that somehow managed to drag the show . Their were fun, cute, sweet, angsty, romantic and melodramtic moments in the drama that made me laugh and cry, but I find some to be just plainly boring and unecessary. Especially, if you're looking forward to the case, you'll find some of those scenes to be skippable.

4. The ending is mehhhh....
- What I dislike in most K-dramas are the endings and what I was expecting was proven to be true in this drama. If you were anticipating if all of your questions regarding the murder mystery be solved in this drama, then don't. There were still questions that were left unsolved like why did Ian Chase treated his twin so coldy and how come in the end, their case were not explained well and that they didn't get the punishment or consequences that they deserved because of their actions. The last episode clearly didn't have a solid aim of the story / plot for me since it was just there because it's already the last episode.

In conclusion, if you want to watch something romantic but with a twist of mystery and thrill, you might as well consider watching this one. However, don't expect much with the thrill and mystery tags because the case / murder got wrapped up pretty much hastily. Not enough development and backstory. Nevertheless, the melodrama / romance here is undeniably sweet and healing because it portrays a healthy and realistic relationship in which people can relate to.

This is entirely my perspective so feel free to watch it. Enjoy!
