Reflection of You

You either love it or you don't. I thought the beginning was nice and dark enough. But the last episodes were depressing , too bad. I would have preferred a happy ending. But that's my taste:)

Had high expectations for this series at the start but there was basically very little plot which stretched on for 16 eps. Would've been a much better series if they brought down the number of episodes. The ending is very unsatisfactory as well.

A successful artist married to a rich businessman has her life turned upside down when a one time friend returns looking for revenge because of events in their past. It is a slow paced drama where you get to know more about past incidents from each individuals perspective. It is very cleverly written as you find yourself understanding a characters behaviour who you disliked as their story is told. The whole cast does a resounding job as there are many interesting side characters, but Go Hyun-iuna and Shin Hyun-been as the main protagonists are outstanding.

The synopsis for this shouldn't be considered too much. This drama looks at the way we deceive ourselves and deceive others, and ask us to question when those things are valid. It also asks us to consider how we pass on values about these things to our children, and how much we would sacrifice for pride.

Very much a slow burn, it takes until at least episode four before you start to have any real understanding of the world in which these people are living, but the craft involved in having set it up this way means that although you don't much like their world, you can't quite turn away from it. The characters themselves refer to the novel Wuthering Heights at one point, and it's a pretty good parallel as to the way things go here.

The actors are all very talented, and their expertise are very much made use of. Totally worth the time investment if you don't mind not getting a 'happy ending'.

I did enjoy watching this drama it was until almost the end so kept me wanting to watch more. I like watching these type of dramas. However the ending was a little disappointing. I really hope there will be a season 2 so that they'll continue the story and finish it off with a more satisfying ending.
