      Best romantic drama ever

      I have seen so many korean shows, but this one is so different. It is funny at times, sometimes it's scary and at most times it is the sweetest drama ever. Till the last episode it kept me engaged. Kudos to the makers of the drama!

      Fantastic Show

      Frustrates me no end to see that the rating isn't higher for this show. I know the ending was not perfect but aside from that there are no complaints. The cast was awesome and so was the story. I would definitely recommend this show to any one who loves a good drama.

      This is not a romantic comedy, but a psycological thriller.

      I have to be honest, I stopped watching after episode five, because my heart couldn't take the tension any more. This is definitely one of the best psychological thrillers I have seen, but it is not romantic, or funny, in any way. A full on sociopath gets obsessed with a girl, and manipulates everyone around her so he can get close to her. She is too scared and confused to stand up to him. I read the spoilers, and to my surprise he DIDN'T murder anyone. The male lead is THAT scary.

      If you are like me, and like to watch silly, light, romantic stuff, don't watch this. If you like to not be able to sleep at night, I highly recommend this.

      Not typical lovey dovey K-Drama

      Two words - Different and realistic. I could feel both the male and female leads. It's not the perfect relationship usually portrayed in Kdramas. But one which makes you think about what love actually is. Glad I gave it a watch! Absolutely loved the acting of male lead.

      I'm not a kdrama watcher but...

      My spouse is the kdrama fan, not me. I tend to find them a bit saccharine, corny, or over the top. That said, this was INCREDIBLE.

      The character development was so nuanced and complex, watching the series was almost like reading a really good book. They don't explain everything, they leave some things for the audience to connect the dots on, and I really appreciated that.

      My one complaint was the ending felt like I needed just a little more closure than I got, even though I understand, I think, why they did it the way they did. I just would have loved to see the look on her face when the one thing happened in that last moment.
