finally got to watch this since it's been on my watchlist for ages.

your typical 'my father is a psychopath who killed your parents and i like you but i dont care what anyone says about us'

i sympathized with the young actors more than the leads and their acting was definitely better. or maybe im just biased since the incident happened when they were younger.

main leads failed to portray their roles and i couldn't see the connection with their younger selves no matter how hard i try. this is why i dont really like dramas where the main characters have a past experience together. cliche and overused.

i rooted more for the younger characters and i wanna see them actually get by. it's unfortunate that they're just leads' past selves. one more thing, their chemistry was so much better than the leads.

male lead did well, i guess, but he's still lacking. he comes off strong but it all boils down to his puppy face when something goes wrong. not bad though since this was his first major role. as for the female lead, i was cringing every time she shows up. the fact that she was an actress in her role is just ironic and i think the drama would've gained more recognition if she wasn't casted.

gotta admit, they did exactly what the title says. it's like their pushing their chemistry through hugs that ends up being too much. male lead also didn't deserve his step mom and step sister. he was literally wrapped under his girlfriend's finger and was being all lovey-dovey when his family was exposed to danger.

it ended how it began. brother and psychopath father went back to jail and that's it. i don't really see the point.

writer messed up during the latter episodes. dialogues were said over and over as well as the flashbacks. it was annoying. we didn't even get to see how the girl's parents were murdered and what her brother did. they stalled so much time for the brother's stabbing story and when we got it, it was so underwhelming. didn't see the point of that too.

policeman who had connections with the reporter didn't even get to pay for what he did. although it's small, he was part of why the psychopath escaped from jail. we also didn't get to see how that happened.

male lead's brother's redemption arc is too forced. they were trying so hard to have us sympathize with him but he's just garbage. same with the reporter, the way she changed for the good was just cringey and forced.

anyways, i had high expectations for this drama since many people were voicing out how underrated this is.

only good part is that they didn't break up, lol.
