Why is Korea Sleeping On This Show? (Updated)

This show explores and fleshes out themes in ways different from what I’ve seen in usual kdramas. It has many original concepts but still has that korean trademark chemistry between the leads that will give you the heart fuzzies.

In short, come for the romance but stay for the story. Also, Kim Soo Hyun is definitely not human... how can he still look so good after all this time?!!

Side note: this is my first time seeing Seo Ye Ji and I am blown away. She is so appealing and extremely good at portraying her character. Currently checking her other works just to see more of her and her acting prowess!!!

Why I love this show:
1. The character development of the leads and main supporting cast across the episodes is nothing short of amazing - each main and supporting character has depths that shine in different moments throughout the series.

2. The sets are beautifully made and the crew’s attention to detail is astounding.

3. The laughs and humor in this dramedy are well placed, feel natural, and let’s you laugh along. The serious moments are heavy enough to make you cry. The heartwarming moments are genuine and can make you both laugh and cry.

4. THE CHEMISTRY AMONG THE LEADS IS NEXT LEVEL!!! The filial chemistry among OJS, SYJ, and KSH is so good you’ll be rooting for each of them until the end. The romantic chemistry between KSH and SYJ is explosive!!! Can they please just be happy together ?

5. After finishing the show, I read an op-ed explaining the nature of this show as a character driven story as opposed to a plot driven story. This helped me understand the POV of the writer and director's vision better and now I see that they, along with the cast and crew, executed it perfectly! There will be lots of room for theorizing how some events happened, but what I've come to learn is that it doesn't matter because it's not important to the characters on whom the the show revolves.

The show wraps up nicely and neatly, please watch and enjoy!

Action, Humor, Romance, Suspense, and LOTS OF GOOD LOOKS

My actual rating for this show would be a 9.5 but I don't mind rounding it up to 10 because:

Everything about this series was dripping in sheer Quality! From the visual effects, the script, the instrumentals and songs, the editing, the costumes, the sets, to the performances of the actors, each scene was oozing with magic. Each episode felt like a movie - I was satisfied with the plot that unfolded per episode but was also left with a yearning to see the next one.

The baddies were so colorful and basically pure evil and even though you hated them you appreciated them anyway. This show had a lot of supporting roles but I was invested in every single character on this show. They were a lot, but it never felt crowded. Each character had a soul and identity and it shows throughout this show's 20 episode run.

And lastly I want to highlight the outfits in the show! Everyone was SO classy! Especially, SJK and JYB! SJK served his looks in literally EVERY SCENE. Both his and JYBs outfits were on point all the time, I was constantly blown away because they looked so good!

This show is almost perfect. I say almost (and the reason for my 0.5 point deduction) because I wish there were more fluff/romantic scenes between the two leads!!! After everything these characters went through (and because my thirsty inner-self craved it), I wanted to see more PG13/R action between V and HCY. I'm not saying I'm not happy with the scenes they had (I am), I just wish they had MORE.

Anyway, this is a solid Drama and you should watch it!
