16 The LONG PILL:

Lee Joon Gi is no stranger to dark roles, with offbeat, and sometimes mysteriously deep characters. So it was a no-brainer as to why he was perfectly casted as the ml, Baek Hee-Sung, to add the emotional depth and layered dimensions needed to pull this off this unhealed teen, who fled a small countryside town, where rumors infamously followed him all of his life. Moon Chae Won, as fl “Cha Ji-Won, is the perfect balm to aid all of his hurting parts… well the ones that she is able to see. What she can’t see may be too big for her to handle, and too painful to be cured. The bright spot in all of the darkness was definitely cast down by the young and brilliant, Jung Seo Yeon, as adorable little “Baek Eun Ha”. She really held her own amongst acting giants, and really brought so much warmth to a sometimes intense plot build.

This series is an intense 16 episodes long, suspenseful rollercoaster. The episodes can feel a bit lengthy sometimes, and the storyline would not have suffered by ending two episodes earlier. We live in dark intensity for so much of this series, that it would have been great to have a balance of more bubbly moments: i.e., more scenes with Baek Eun Ha!
