This was the most stressful drama I've watched so far. I'm not able to write anything about the drama itself (yet) other than that I did not cry a single time to my surprise, this one hits and hurts differently, it hits deeper and sometimes even in a kinda unpleasent way. It was beautiful, it was depressing. It was different from what I expected but I still loved it.
The reason for this is the acting. I want to applaud the acting of Minsi and Dohyun, they were the reason I watched this after loving them in Sweet Home and being hyped when I heard they're having the lead roles in this together and they showed me again, why I was right falling in love with them so quickly. But I also want to praise how well Lee Sangyi, Oh Manseok and Kim Wonhae filled their roles with life. And although I mostly dislike child actors, I have to praise Jo Yihyun, he never seemed fake like most child actors and genuinely acted like Myeonghee's little brother with neither over- nor underacting his role. Who knows, he might be one of the big ones when he grows up. I'll cheer for him when that time comes. :blush: And we even got one minute of precious Eunbin in the first episode which was a nice surprise. :heart_eyes:
I want to like but I couldn't. I don't. it started of quite promising and I was looking forward to the spunk from the FL as she has shown from the beginning but it fizzled out in no time. And I was looking forward to watch the show in relation to the revolutionary uprising context but all it focused on was the double timing of the ML. They may bring it in more in later episodes but by episode 6, I have already lost interest.

Took me a while to finish this one, I have no heart, this drama took it from me and tear it apart, break it into million pieces.
A drama that deserves way better, everything was made so well but the storytelling, setting and montage were the cherry on the pie.
Definitely not an easy watch, this is not a romantic drama, this is based on one of the darkest times on South Korea's history and how people has to deal throughout all that, representing the dreams, the fears, the life of many people and how were all taken away in the blink of an eye.
Now give Go Minsi, Lee Dohyun and Lee Kang the Baeksang they highly deserves!
