I am writing this in an absolute awe.



I watched Nevertheless just before this show, which became a 10/10 for me, so I went into this with not only low expectations because the trailers and clips didn't catch my eye at all, but also because I saw an opportunity to fill some space after Nevertheless with a show I had on my watchlist for about a year and I was stuck on the first 30 minutes of episode 1.


As of writing, I have tears in my eyes from how much of an emotional rollercoaster this turned into. Last 4 hours I couldn't stop watching at all. I was hooked onto every detail and rooted for the main pair so hard. In the end I was just crying, whether it was happiness or sadness, madness or confusion. This drama is so incredibly beautiful, so incredibly mesmerising. The story, acting, everything. I felt like dying inside every time the story showed a possible twist, I got kore intrigued every single time someone figured something out about the story.


I am still processing what was happening on my screen. The only issue I think this drama has is a very low rewatch value - simply becose discovering is one of the main hooks of the story, the romance and intriguing parts of the story lose meaning because in this case, it is more of you finding out WITH the characters, opposed to dramas where you know and watch the story while you understand the connections. You, as a viewer, know only as much as the character who knows the most as of now does.

I definitely recommend this, 100 %. Bonus points for music, because every single time an episode ended I didn't skip and finish the rest of the OST, criminally underrated OST, sung by Stray Kids. Seungmins vocals hit so hard when an episode has a cliffhanger.
