I will just say it upfront that this kdrama is a MUST WATCH! This kdrama has it all, fantasy, action, drama, a little bit of romance and etc.

First, I just want to comment something about their intro. It is so damn cool. It has a very nice dark feeling to it and the badumbadumbadumbadum bgm is just perfect. I literally can’t skip it!!

Next, the most important in all kdramas, the story. The stories they showcase in every episode are just amazing and an eye opener. I actually didn’t know anything about the issues the people faced in the past but because of this kdrama, I learned something new that is very significant. It is just very nice that they show various topics that is very relevant to us nowadays because it makes us reflect on ourselves and on our actions. I really cried a bucket in each episode because the scenes were heartwarming yet sad at the same time. Let me just tell you all to prepare your tissues.

Next, the casting/actors. I am speechless. I literally have no words on the casting because it is PERFECT! While I was watching this kdrama, I never thought that a certain character would be better if they were portrayed by another actor because they all did their roles very well. There were a lot of intense scenes but they never failed with their emotions. And also, the “staring contest” scenes (of joongryeon) is so amazing!! Even though they are not saying anything, I can understand what their eyes want to say. I just want to mention actress Kim Hee Sun (which became my favorite after watching this kdrama) for giving her all in this kdrama. She was required to dye her hair once every 4 days just to maintain her pink hair color and that is not easy at all. Kudos to all the actors for doing a really really great job!

Next, the game changer in this kdrama, JOONGRYEON!! The Park Joong Gil x Goo Ryeon ship in this kdrama is goddamn fire. A life changing ship I must say. I am a fun of romcoms and light/sweet kdramas but this kdrama changed it. The angst and pain that this couple gave me was out of this world :)) If you haven’t watched it yet, just prepare your heart in advance.

Lastly, we all know that this kdrama faced a very big controversy. I just want to say that let us all stop the hate towards the kdrama and the actors. As a kpop fan myself, I know that what they did was not right at all but giving this kdrama dislikes and low ratings just because of that is also not right. We should all be mindful of our actions.

All in all, you will not regret watching this kdrama. This is one of my favorites now because it is just sincerely very good. If you are looking for a sign to watch this, then this is it.
