I've been looking for a decent kdrama for a while and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this one.
The first episode was so perfect. I loved the multi-layered conflict and the unique bond the two leads formed. I was hesitant that the rest of the drama would uphold as well, but I have been pleased.
The tension and suspense is done incredibly well, by withholding details from not only the audience but the characters themselves. I can't stop watching because I'm dying to know who Ki-ho is.
Most kdramas do have multiple conflicts, but I've found that most of the side plots are listless. This is an exception. There are many different conflicts and levels of tension that are all explored in a unique way.
It's a sweet drama with small-town / big dream vibes and the characters are so tangible. Also shout out to Cha Hak Yeon because his acting skills really shine in this show.
BTW I took a point off because the editing is weak. They don't trust the audience enough to remember anything and I find myself having to skip through too many flashbacks and recaps.
