I adore Yoo Seung Ho, and his performance in this did not disappoint. His embodiment of his character was so raw and poignant. I have to say that he pulls off the most anguish-filled scenes with the most earnestness and gut-wrenching acting I’ve ever seen and heard. That’s right, “heard.” His cries of anger, of sadness, of sheer frustration always manage to bring tears to my eyes and pain to my soul. He’s an underutilized gem of the industry and I wish I could see more of him, more often.

My praise of his talent isn’t the only reason I loved this drama, though. Kim Dong Hwi and Yoo Su Bin, (the latter of which’s heartwrending scenes were almost too much to bear), both brought their A-game as well. I was impressed by the entourage of characters who also brought this tragedy of judgement errors to life.

It’s a tale of common enough desperation leading to fortunately not so common actions and the toll those actions inevitably bring to bear on all. I actually even enjoyed the opening sequence(s), (rare for me), and the subtle yet haunting music score. Highly recommend, and will definitely watch again.
