Review

Story

I started this drama out of curiosity, the story really caught my attention. And I had high expectations, and it didn't disappoint me.

It's a real tearjerker, so when you like this gerne this drama is definitely a must. The story is nothing like other Korean Drama’s.

The drama really drags you right into the story of Moo Hyuk and his mysterious appearance. You really want to know more of him and why he acts like he does. For me it was definitely Moo Hyuk’s character that made this drama so interesting. The way he acts out of rage is very sad but also understandable.
Another character that made this drama really interesting was Eun Chan, the way that she was dealing with her feelings was interesting. You really get dragged in her emotions. Especially when she collapse because she doesn’t know what to do anymore…

The story can he a little slow sometimes but this was the purpose of the makers, so that you really get dragged into the emotions of all the characters.

Cast
The cast was perfect. No other words for it. The main character was played by So Ji Sub and he really did a great job. So Ji Sub is an outstanding actor who really knows hows to empathize with his character. You really believed the pain Moo Hyuk was going trough.

Im Soo Jung played Eun Chan. She did a really good job, I never like Korean actresses that much, because they seem to overreact and to overplay their character. But Im Soo Jung really impressed me!

Jung Kyung Ho played Choi Yoon this was the only cast member that I already knew. I saw him in Time Between Dog and Wolf and he impressed me there! And also as the spoilt sensitive brad he impressed me, he was getting on my nerves because he was so spoilt which means he played his part very well! At the end of the drama he turns into a matured person.
