this drama did something to me that no drama ever has...it made me feel things and think about it over and over after I completed watching. It's a drama that even months after watching, I find myself coming back to and looking at different scenes for the feels they give. Outside of my personal love for WHIB, for starters, it is M E S S Y from start to finish, but in a way that compels you to keep watching. You're not ready for what it'll do to you.

In any case, let's get to a review, I'm a sucker for a male lead that gives the female lead very big "you're mine" energy. This drama has the epitome of that. If you want to see a man actually go crazy over a woman this is truly the drama for you. The passion from the male lead had me in a grip. Before you (or he) even know it, he's deeply in love (obsessed, fated, ???) with the female lead. And yet somehow makes room for a love square whose end cannot be easily predicted (although after watching for a bit, my gut starting telling me what direction things were heading...I hope you watch and see if you get similar premonitions...). I want to say it's a beautiful story, but honestly it is nice. It has very well considered sentiments that include, finding what's truly important in one's life, the pain of being too rich and the pain of being too poor, and the heart wanting what it wants. I could truly talk about this drama for ages (like formal, if you watch and wanna talk PLEASE message me) but I highly recommend you watch and see how it treats you.

Story: Interesting and not predictable, a bit dark and some moments are a little dated makes beautiful commentaries on society
Acting: Major shoutout to Jo In Sung because he did his f*cking thing with his acting in this O M G!!! Even still, the cast all had strong acting did well together- everyone made you believe they were the characters they portrayed.
Music: OST is a littleeeee repetitive but in my opinion the songs capture the emotions of scenes perfectly
Rewatch Value: hard to say, I've found myself watching the nice moments between the two leads quite often, but as a whole, potentially a little too depressing to rewatch

Thanks for reading <3 Happy (or in this case, not so happy) watching!
