"You're the engine behind every move I make"
This was honestly such a rollercoaster. A messed up captivating one that I just couldn't take my eyes or brain from.
Soohyun is such a messed up character. A weird mix of obsessive + sadistic + incredibly anxious. His monologues, especially in relation to his feelings towards Eunsung are rather messy and more often than not, quite troubling. But somehow, in the end, the author is able to tie everything up so beautifully and even make Soohyun endearing. Bro made his happy ending happen at all cost
As for Eunsung, his story and situation were just so sad. I cannot imagine living you life like that. Always knowing that people around you are with you because they want something from you and are secretly hoping for your downfall. And then having to deal with a piece of shit like Park Moon Seob - AND HAVE PEOPLE TURN THEIR BACKS TO YOU AND BLAME YOU FOR SAVING YOURSELF FROM A SHITTY SITUATION. I just...oh I'm mad all over again. I'm just glad that he finally got his happy ending
Park Moon Seob... this utter piece of shit. Calling him bottom of the barrel trash is actually insulting to bottom of the barrel trash. I'm glad things ended the way they did for him. He deserved to end up exposed and in jail. I hope his years in jail were horrendous
Season 1 - 3.75⭐
Season 2 - 3.75⭐
Season 3 (plus side stories) - 5⭐
Overall average - 4⭐
