Irritating!
I really wanted to like this drama and Ilike the storyline but am struggling for two reasons -first the female lead is intensely irritating! She acts like a teen /ingenue, with an irritating chuckle. She is supposed to be the lead of a circus? I dont find her endearing or comedic, and many of her scenes with Robin are so sickly sweet its nauseating! Just how old are these two supposed to be? Just too childish for words. I'm not blaming the actors but the writers! She is beginning to show more character and maturity then along comes Robin and she regresses. The puppet scene was beyong cringe making!I also found the male leads physical grabbing and pushing offensive - I do not like this particular behaviour in so many korean dramas. Violence towards women is just wrong and should not be seen as acceptable.
I just cant seem to engage with this drama - am beginning to fast forward thru the fl scenes just to get thru the story which is not developing fast enough! There is plenty of mystery surrounding how the ML got to be how he is but its dragging!
Oh and the music is also cloying in its sentimentality!

One word.... COMPLETE
This drama is so well written. Anybody who says differently is not watching the same drama I was watching. Because this was one of the most complete Korean dramas I've ever watched. They delve into each part of the story so beautifully and it was a redemptive hopeful story. It made me cry so much. I laughed and it just gives you hope for life. It's such a beautiful story of love, lost, forgiveness and everything in between.The only part that felt overdone was hoe many episodes that was given to robin towards the end but it's understavle and respectfully done. I love how they ended it. I love everything about it. I will recommend this to everybody who loves a bit of thriller and romance put together. But I love that the Romans part was the main theme. I love how they dealt with issues of illness, and how they just went about solving everything. Maybe it's because I have not been watching good quality dramas lately in 2024 everything feels badly written with horribly damaging underlying message to our society, but this was such a breath of fresh air.

Didn’t realise Hyun Bin was also in this!
So after being disappointed with “Crash Landing on You” , I was looking for the Webtoon version of this series and wasn’t able to find the whole thing online. So instead, I used good ol Netflix instead and while watching the rest, I didn’t realise Hyun Bin was also on this and he killed it man with his changing personas.Now my only complaint is that the 20 episodes was long winded and wanted to finish it in one go (finished at 6am, stupid I know). However it was an addicting series to binge like both Hyun Bin and Han Ji Min were just very cute together, I think also Han Sang Jin played the wacky mischievous villian pretty darn good, I loved how in the near end he made Bins character draw in front of a serious conference like wtf with that scene man xDIt’s pretty good but again the episodes were long winded even if it was a binge to watch!

Colpi di scena.
Secondo me, questo dramma è sottovalutato. E' una storia ben costruita piena di componenti variegati. Anche se un po fantasiosa, Gli attori hanno saputo darle del veritiero. In ogni puntata c’è almeno un piccolo colpo di scena che desta l’interesse e numerosi sono anche i momenti di ilarità sopratutto nelle prime puntate. La storia offre una combinazione fra romanzo poliziesco, storia di amore e di amicizia, analisi psicologica , suspense, relazioni familiari, lotta per l’ascesa nel potere economico.L’indagine poliziesca, se non è propriamente vivida e consistente, è sufficientemente coinvolgente per far evolvere la vicenda in maniera stuzzicante. L’analisi e l’interpretazione psicologica è più consistente sia nella trama che nell'interpretazione dei personaggi. Gli ambienti sono il più delle volte piacevoli , esteticamente gradevoli come anche i costumi. Le riprese di primi piani sono numerosi e mettono in risalto la mimica interpretativa che è eccellente come pure i dialoghi e le battute che sono dinamiche accattivanti.
La musica accompagna e commenta adeguatamente e con gradevolezza i vari momenti della vicenda.
I protagonisti , con la loro bellezza e il loro saper fare interpretativo rendono allettante la visione dei filmati .
Yu bin è fantastico nella gestione di due ruoli tanto diversi in una stessa serie.
In maniera sottile ma attraverso grandi difficoltà e compromessi e soprattutto attraverso la compassione e, in fondo la benevolenza reciproca nonostante l’apparente ostilità, le due personalità si evolveranno gradualmente arricchendo emozioni, nei sentimenti , nei ricordi e nei valori.
L’attrice protagonista, a parte la sua apparenza gradevole, è seducente anche per la sua semplicità, la sua giovialità mista ad afflizione e dolcezza di carattere. Risulta un animo puro e sincero , qualità che influenzeranno sulla salute del protagonista.

Don't Believe The Bad Reviews
Like others have mentioned, I'm not sure why the rating on this show is so bad (relative to Kdramas where everything is a 6 is it's bad or a 10 if it's good). This story was actually really well done and engaging. The plot twists are well conceived and there's a whole lot to unpack every single episode. The lead actors do really well and are well paired with a lot of chemistry. The interactions between the female lead and each of the male's personalities are sufficiently varied so that you, as the viewer, end up relating to each personality as individual people...which is likely the intention of the writers.I think, from what I've read, many people didn't like the ending. I can understand that, because it was difficult for me to accept as well. But I thought the plot got to that eventuality in a very thoughtful and smart way and it made sense and fit well with the story progression. The ending does happen really really quickly so you aren't given a ton of time to adjust and you don't spend a lot of time post-ending getting comfortable with the outcome. Maybe if they'd ended things a little sooner or had a little more afterward it would have been easier for some people to swallow.
The antagonist in this show was really well done. I didn't suspect him initially as an antagonist at all, mostly because it wasn't apparent yet that there even WAS anything to suspect him of. I didn't like him at all, however, from the first time I saw him. I WANTED him to be a bad guy because I hated the way he interacted with the female lead. I FELT like he was a bad guy before it even became apparent that he might be bad. The actor did a really really good job with this role through all its variations.
The plot itself has so many interesting arcs and really takes you through so many different settings and events without losing a drop of cohesion. It's varied in its events to the point where I had to go back and look at each episode's synopsis to make sure I wasn't confusing multiple dramas as the same, but somehow they all fit together. There's SO MUCH that goes on in this drama that it's pretty amazing they managed to fit the whole thing into 20 episodes.

It's not that the drama is bad but it's Robin and Hana's story not Seo and Hana...so kinda like second lead getting hooked with the heroine. Though it is Hyun Bin only...I don't like it and thus cudn't watch it.
The story looks like its well plotted but it lacks a real soul and that is why I couldn't finish it....
Hyun Bin is amazing but thats is all....will have to watch secret garden and kim sam soon again...oppa :(

Just finished watching this drama and I have rollercoaster of emotions while watching it since the beginning until the end. I actually watched this when it came out 4 years ago but I dropped it halfway because I was watching too many dramas a week at that time and later then I forgot to continue watching it. It's normal for people to like someone like Robin because of his nice personality but I just couldn't like him as much as I love Seojin because no matter how good Robin is, he's still fake to me because he's just another personality created by Seojin. I know Robin is very kind, funny and caring person and that's why Hana loves him very much but I still feel unfair to Seojin because it seems like Hana be with him at the end because he has Robin's memories inside him, not because she loves Seojin because of Seojin himself. I don't know whether I'm being overreacted & way too emotional but it just breaks my heart thinking how lonely Seojin is all this time. Seojin just asked her permission to love her only without asking her to love him back & willing to sacrifice himself for her happiness even though she doesn't love him the way he loves her because she loves Robin more. It's true Hana helped to cure his illness but she hurted Seojin at the same time too.
For some reason I just think that Hana doesn't deserve Seojin because he's just too nice for her. Even though it's still Hyunbin but I don't like the way this drama showed too much of Robin & Hana's love story instead of Seojin & Hana's. I still think it's bit too much and ridiculous of her for hold wedding with Robin. Have to admit this drama is a quite draggy and it took them 15 episodes just to arrest a criminal but I love seeing Seojin and Soohyeon after they reconciled and I thought their friendship was beautiful.
I have to say that Hyunbin is such great actor for being able to potray Seojin and Robin's characters very well and I'm so proud of him. Have no idea about anyone else but I'm Seojin's team since 1st episode until the end.
