It's intriguing to me how much my feelings have changed about this story in such a short time. On the one hand I feel like they did such an amazing job building out these characters, and on the other hand the rate at which you go from wholeheartedly loving these characters to near despising them is unbelievable. Episodes 1 & 2 I fell head over heels in love, episodes 3 & 4 I lost interest, and episodes 5 & 6 sweet feelings started to sour. There are subtle hints that episodes 7 & 8 will reveal secrets that might explain why things developed to this point, and hopefully fall back in love with these characters.

The story follows the life of Do Hoe, a quiet high school student who lives under his abusive father, a the Grandmaster of a Taekwondo gym. Ju Yeong is the mischievous type, he gets kicked out of his home in Seoul and sent off to the countryside to train under the Grandmaster, and there the relationship between Do Hoe and Ju Yeong begins. Do Hoe already has a complicated relationship with his childhood friend Hyeon Ho, and as the story progresses the three of them fall into a mess of a love rivalry.

These characters and their stories are so beautifully done, what I love most about this show is the absolutely masterful subtlety they use to tell their story, it's all of the tiny little details that make up each scene, layers on layers deep, each scene peels back a new layer of the characters backgrounds and personalities. Over time some things change and some stay the same, I'm interested to see how they develop through the end.

The actors are great, each of them have a unique role to play in the atmosphere and they do a fantastic job. The production is good, each scene is intentional, and the music and editing are solid as well.

Looking forward to more, will keep updating this review as episodes come out.
