I'm not all that fond of musicals, but I love Ji Chang Wook so I gave it a go anyways. Before I started it, I thought it was going to be some wishy-washy story about magic with some singing included. I was wrong. I forgot that it was also a Kdrama and you can always expect the unexpected. This was so much more than a story about magic, it was about finding your own path to adulthood and that the adult you want to be or need to be isn't always what everyone wants from you. From what I gathered, the moral of the story is growing up is hard and stressful but having just/at least one person believing in you can be a whole world of difference to your mindset.

I'm still not sure if the reason I love it so much was because of the quality of dramas I've been watching lately or if I could see myself in it, but it's one I'll not be able to forget for a while.

Very rarely do I come across a show these days that keeps me captivated and I don't have to skip through parts just to keep going. If I'm being completely honest, I didn't think I was going to love this as much as I did. It was one of those shows that I kept seeing but nothing stood out to me enough to make me watch it. The only reason I did decide to watch it was because I'm trying to watch all the Kdramas on Netflix, literally the only reason besides Yeo Jin-goo.

What kept me going however was not Yeo Jin-goo but Shin Ha-kyun. I actually loved how much of a lunatic Dong-sik was and how he stopped caring about what people thought about him. Joo-won didn't grow on me until the latter half of the show because he seemed too cocky and gung ho to catch the culprit without actually verifying his thoughts with evidence. Even now I'm still confused by some of his thought processes. I would recommend this to anyone.

Highly recommend!!

This is probably the best show I have seen this year and maybe in the past couple of years also. I was engaged throughout the whole show. With the shows that have been coming out, very few have I seen where I just watch from beginning to end without the need to fast-forward, but I watched every second of this show. I loved the plot and the characters and I kept feeling myself wanting to be physically sucked in to the show and be a part of what was happening. I've never vibed so hard with a show. Both Shen Yi and Du Cheng's personalities contain parts of mine and I really love how they were portrayed. The only reason it didn't get a full 10 stars is because there's one thing I can't for the life of me figure out. Either my mind wandered when they explained it or it never got explained. Also if there's never a second season or like bonus episodes to explain that ending, I might go insane. I want so much more of this!!
