Review

I will be honest, this Korean drama was quite complex. It was the first complex Korean drama I ever looked at and all I remember is constantly comparing any other complex show I have watched to it because this show is the standard. From what I can remember, the relationship was a bit toxic and Moo-Young was a very complex and unpredictable character. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing his relationship with Jin Kang unfolds as well as their history. I will warn you that the ending is sad and tragic but I would have loved it no other way. 

I do recommend at least reading the synopsis of the book it was inspired by to enhance your experience. Looking at edits of the series never fails to make me cry. I really loved it.
