I just finished watching this last night (binged it actually). It was possibly the best watch ff the year 2019 Q2. My only problem with this is that the synopsis was very misleading and the drama definitely ruined whatever expectations I had going into it.
My expectations were to watch something light hearted because life was going to be really stressful for a period of time and I wanted something to cheer me through it. I was not expecting to be brutally sucker punched in my face by reality (especially with the topic that came about in the last two episodes. It brought back many sad feelings and memories). I wished there was a tragedy tag because the drama is something I wouldn’t recommend watching if you watch to escape reality like I did.
Putting aside the sucker punch plot twist into reality, the story was very true to itself. You can see a lot of thought and deliberation went into the episodes before the plot twist that made so much sense after the twist. But it wasn’t without any clues that we arrived at the plot twist either, perhaps having the notion that this was a fantasy drama that helped excuse those inexplainable moments which made the plot twist heart breakingly cruel.
The cinematography was superb. The way the lights and the angles shot of from. Even the acting was amazing, no surprises there. The actresses playing Kim Hye Ja absolutely mind blowingly excellent in their portrayal that I was tear eyed a lot through out. Not only that but the actors who played Hye Ja’s parents were extremely good at portraying their emotions silently, it was both heart wrenching and heart warming feeling their emotions through a screen.
Overall I give a nine. Why the minus one star? For conning me with a misleading synopsis that brought back a lot of things I’d rather not remember or think about.
