We learn how this Kdrama would end in the first 10 minutes, still it came it was a gut punch nevertheless. Woo Do-hwan plays the abandoned child/cynical man with grace and emotional honesty. His soulmate, played by Lee Yoo-mi, suffers and delights in turns as he steals her away from her hard-won opportunity to belong to a well-off family whose cheobol son she charmed. But their bad luck follows them like their shadows on a sunny day.
Beautifully written and acted. The misfortunes they have overcome and the misfortunes they have yet to face bring them into contact with deadly thugs, a judge-y mother-in-law-to-be, a hapless minion, and others who con and disappoint but never succeed in ruining their lives.
The head-scratcher of a title is explained in a lovely, touching scene that reveals just how deeply Woo Do-hwan's character feels, yearns and denies.
Funny (really), twisty, touching, graceful and ultimately life-affirming. Have kleenex handy. Very high production value and A-list cast make this extraordinary, too.
