this was one of the first kdramas i ever watched, and i have watched it 5 times since. i don't know if that makes me human, or mentally ill. but it is, what it is. i'd give just about everything to be able to watch this again, for the first time.

the storyline, the hidden clues, the books - everything, was so perfectly done, that nothing is lacking - and every time i watch this, i realize something new - i see something new, or my understanding of the story grows deeper. i genuinely believe that this is a show, that you could see a 100 times, and still you'd be able to find something new every single time.

the acting is top-notch as usual - wouldn't expect anything less from this cast. and yet, they exceeded my expectations - i knew they were gonna be good, but the way that they brought this story to life was, borderline insane. the way they portrayed their characters, it was so extremely well done, in a way i don't think any other cast would've been able to do.

with that said, just please watch the show - give it some time, take some breaks - and just think. think about the story, think about the books mentioned - think about the struggles, i promise you (most likely) won't regret it.

ALSO HER OUTFITS?!?!? >>>>
i said what i said. seo yeaji, the women you are.
