For me, this series doesn't capture the range of Jung Hae-In or his full charm, as do "While You Were Sleeping" and especially "Something in the Rain", which made him an international star. In the first six episodes of "Something in the Rain" the writer created some of the sweetest scenes in Korean drama, unmatched in this one. But I think this same writer was after more of a slowly developed study of the major themes this time: obsession, misogyny, abuse, intrusiveness, and single-parent shaming. Within that sometimes maddening struggle, there is strength and devotion, friendship and love. But I do wish there was more of our main couple and far less of the annoying obsessive. Even the last episodes had too much of him. I'd rather he had been finished and we spent more time exploring the love story and that evolving family. In both her series, I feel this writer loses her way in the second halves and closing episodes, then tosses a rushed closure at the viewer, which she has been faulted for before. Still, this is a good series with an excellent writer, director, and cast.
