This K drama stayed with me a long time after I finished watching it, because the story was more complex than I had seen in any K drama before. Also I have seen almost all the drama s of Ji Chang Wook and this is still to this date his best performance. He played the role of a true hopeless lover minus the ego 100 times potrayed in Hwood or Bwood movies. I am always amazed how most K drama male characters are not even 1% toxic and still have all the true hero vibes . The direction and writing here made the audience truly connect with him, just brilliant. Currently watching Kim Ji Won in Queen of tears and that made me revisit this series because both characters have a similar vibe where it again shows that for a woman to truly love a man she needs to love herself first. She aces these complex characters every time.

This drama has been beautifully written and deals with the true emotions of loss. Loss of a father, husband and son and how the people these 'hero' figures carry become dependent and struggle to move on independently. This drama touches upon several social issues and is led by two very sensitive and mature actors in Ahad and Sajal. Even in scenes with no dialogue you can see how they feel. Highly recommend this. It leaves you thinking about life.
