Let me just start off by saying this: If you cannot stomach horror, watch the first episode with all the lights on or better yet outside in the nice beautiful weather with your 2 cats and 3 dogs. It's not really that it's particularly scary, but I can get sensitive to this kind of stuff (slowly training myself haha) and so I got scared reeeaally easily. I'm actually kind of sad they didn't use more of the scary graphics as the drama progressed.
At any rate, I enjoyed the plot of this drama, particularly the quite literal "she can't live without him" factor. I particularly liked the "Joo Joong Won, Joo Joong Two, Joo Joong Three" thing. Haha. Hilarious. The only complaint I have about the storyline is the last 2 episodes. Episode 16 was, what I assume to be, a filler episode. Not much really happened during that episode so the entire time I just found myself staring at the screen spacing out. If they were gonna make the second to last episode a snoozefest they should have just gone with the classic 16. No need to stretch it out to 17. Episode 17 on the other hand, was honestly so rushed. Common sense says to just stretch the ending between 16 and 17 instead of cramming everything into 17 and leaving 16 with 3 grains of rice. But no, instead they do a time skip and all the characters have automatically resolved their conflicts and everyone lives happily ever after. We see absolutely nothing about what changed over that 1 year. It's just "oh yeah fairy tale land yay! We'll just skip to the end and you can make up your mind on how everything got to this point."
The acting in this drama was overall pretty good. Gong Hyo-jin is really an amazing actress and she deserves more credit honestly. People tend to think that if an actress' character is pretty and elegant, she's automatically a great actress. That is far from the truth. A great actress has to be able to portray any character and be able to convince the audience. The fact that Hyo-jin was able to portray Tae Gong-shil so accurately and so wholeheartedly is amazing. And of course, So Ji-sub and his "get lost" haha. The one thing that I am cringing about is L. Myungsoo, Myungsoo, Myungsoo. I don't know if it's because it's his first time portraying this kind of character, but oh lordy his acting killed me. I love him, but please no. He was superb in Shut Up Flower Boy Band, but this role just did not suit him at all.
The music was pretty good, Hyorin did a great job as usual, but nothing really stood out to me. It was the typical OST, with some sad songs, some happy songs, etc. etc. But nothing really stuck. I think the only thing that really stood out was Hyorin's "Crazy", but that was only because they played that song every dang time Gong-shil and Joong-won appeared on screen together.
I would probably only rewatch this drama for the comic relief, because the end just really drags out. It's something I would most likely watch if I had nothing else to watch, but definitely not something I would watch over and over and over again.
Overall, this drama was the perfect mixture of everything. There were bittersweet moments, romantic moments, funny moments, cringeworthy moments, and of course the jumpscares. If you want a drama that you can freely watch, maybe just an episode or 2 a day without having to obsess over it, this is the one for you.
