challenging dark emotional tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I like it just that I think it can do without the written out sex scenes.
like at one point, I thought Kim was gonna rape Kyung Hee and i thought that would ruin Kim's character arc completely
I wanted more of the historical drama and the philosophical question and answer bits.
I somehow hated Hana's character alot, like I felt like it showed but didn't justify why she was acting the way she was. I also didn't understand why Noa killed himself and why Hana refused help.
