I really enjoyed this series. Made me laugh and cry. I will say that the last episode was a bit over the top with a scenario where the male lead rescues the female lead. Don't want to say more and spoil it for others. Overall it was great.

I'm gonna be biased here but as someone who usually prefer the comic adaptation of stories like this I gotta say I was surprised as to how much I love this. In general I'm not a series person so the way this got me hooked up is insane. I love everything about this show, the acting the OST, the casting the romance and the thriller part of it, everything. It is now my all time favorite show. If you enjoy slow-burn romance, mixed with mystery and triller then this is the right choice, you won't be disappointed.
