*Cue Maniacal Laugh*

I'm not crying - you're crying. I'm crying happy but sad tears that this drama has come to an end. I started this drama with the thought that I was in a k-drama slump and I just needed to click something and watch. After a few minutes I thought I made a mistake again as I was immediately bombarded with weird characters and cliché plot lines, but as I kept trudging through, I fell in deep and I fell in hard with this drama and its characters.

Lee Gun - let's just say oh my god. This dude is an absolute character. And Jang Hyuk does a marvelous job. The weird, maniacal laughs out of nowhere threw me off at first, but I grew to anticipate and treasure them. He made me laugh so hard with his goofy and insane, yet loveable personality. And his therapy visits while Doctor Moon just sits there like "wtf is happening, what is my life" are just one example that drove me to tears with laughter. This character is an enigma of contradictions that just work.

I found Kim Mi Young less favorable, but she was not without character growth. In the beginning, it really ticked me off how often she let people walk all over her and how she would be blamed for what ultimately weren't her decisions. And the whole she-turns-into-a-beautiful-goddess-when-she-takes-her-glasses-off trope bugged me also. But I liked how with her growth she still kept her soft heart but didn't let people trample all over it. And Jang Na-Ra acted beautifully as well.

As for the side characters: usually I could care less and I find myself skipping over them, but in this drama the side characters had personality and loveable traits of their own.

This is a shorter review and if I had to name everything that I loved it would spoil the whole drama and there would be no point in you watching. So if you're reading the synopsis and reviews and you're wondering if you should give this drama a chance - I am begging you, give it a chance. You will laugh. You will cry (sob). You will scream. And you will have so much love for this drama.
