Rewatching this one after a few years and I still loved it.
Is not perfect by any means but because it has many dark twisted plots you get hooked into it and you won't be able to stop watching.
The characters of this show and I mean all of them are impossible to like, quite hateful and full of flaws. You will like them at times and understand their struggles and past experiences so you will feel empathy for them but at the same time you will see how twisted, perturbed and imperfect they are and hate them too. Perfect depiction of the human nature, nothing is romanticized in this drama and i am all for it.
The main characters are playing a disturbing game of emotions just to relieve the pain they feel inside and its dark but beautiful. Love the loyalty they have for each other and their friendship and at the same time you can see their dislike for each others too at times. Such an unique and different concept.
The main leads have chemistry and although I am not a big fan of Joys acting, i have watched all of her dramas and Is very average and plain but Woo Do Hwan is just incredible here, you can see how he swifts from one side/personality of his character to the other, even his eyes and expressions change. Didn't rate his performance on Mad Dog but here and The King is just outstanding.
2nd leads are awesome as well, mostly Moon Ga Young who is 10 times the actresses Joy is and fills the screen when she is on stage.
Overall is very entertaining and non traditional. Could have been better? Yes, more darkness and more focused on the ill intentions of the ML and his relationship and feelings towards the FL would have been perfect. But still was a pretty good outcome.
Watch it.
