This show will forever be in my heart. It will stay with me for a while and be one of the ‘classics’. It started off slow but things really started to kick off after about ep 9 and it was so so addictive. It had such a solid and well-written storyline. I love so much about it.

I kept wondering why Choi Kang-chi’s character felt so familiar and I realised he is the typical male shounen protagonist™ !!
Examples: Inuyasha, Natsu (fairy tail), or Luffy (one piece). You know, the cheerful ones who are:

- hot-headed
- have a special superpower
- have a strong sense of justice
- usually have a tragic past
- ‘Want to be stronger!!!!’
- will rush head-first into danger to help his friends without thinking.

And get yourself a girl like Yeo-ul - A++ female character who you can rely on and will stand & defend you through thick and thin. Like everybody was scared of him, accused him, badmouthed him, called him a monster, etc - Dam Yeo-ul comforts him, tells him he is Kang-chi no matter what, loves him irregardless, defends him when her father is about to kill him, says he did nothing wrong, and "wants to do anything for him" all while being a strong independent woman??? This girl is an actual dream. Perfect personality aside, she is also gorgeous. She also never beats around the bush, she says the right thing and doesn’t hold anything back. She was a role model in every way.

Kang-chi and Yeo-ul’s romance was honestly goals. They had so much chemistry and pure love for one another. I think my favourite thing was how Yeo-ul was told at the very beginning before they had even met, that the man she was fated to meet would also be her downfall. Girl did not care. She loved him through it all so fiercely and passionately, knowing full well she will likely die. But she says she won’t change the present based on a future that hasn’t happened yet. She wasn’t going to avoid love because of a deadly ‘fate’. She always put him first, every time. She honestly deserves the world.

I also really feel for Kang-chi’s parents. They had such a tragic Romeo & Juliet love story, and was glad they were able to have closure (even though the mum was played by a different actress for no reason lol) and they both died…again. But at least they died together loving each other. It was tragically beautiful.

And let’s not forget the gLOW UP of the CENTURY - AKA Ma Bong Chul! Hated him forever and just wanted him to die already and when Kang-chi saved his life I could not believe my eyes. But he turned out to be the most loyal friend!! Was even willing to risk his life to help him and he was the best. Their friendship was actually great and a highlight for me.

I also couldn’t believe when it said 24 episodes!! But they went by so quickly and would have hated if it had been any shorter. It was the perfect length.

Honestly this drama just had everything you could need. Romance? Check. Good storyline? Check. Interesting characters? Check. This drama will stick with me for a long time and I have such strong feelings for it.
