Finished watching when the phone rings
It was a nice drama , I liked it a lot ..
Ek toh for a change , after months I've seen a Korean show 😁 then , the hero , I already liked him a lot , in dr romantic , and in hospital Playlist (he was my abs favourite there ) ..
It starts really well , with elements of mystery , thriller , family politics n all that ..in the beginning it resembles queen of tears but then it went way off i mean qot was at a different plane ...
It's more like flower of evil but flower was evil was tad bit better ..
This one scores well on all fronts..(ignoring the in your face stupidity of the leads , like she is talking personal stuff to him & he does the same & both believe other person has no idea n its the kidnapper )
Pehle toh i like how the story unravels in layers ..their marriage , their childhood, the dirty secrets of the family , the kidnapper & his past , how they slowly reveal themselves to each other , how their relationship gets better , how he forgives her , understands where she came from , how she forgives him , infact , stand by him & protect him , the conspirators and the co conspirators , how he takes all of them down ..
I also like the roles played by hee Joo's sister , she was a good support , Jang woo her college friend , the news anchor yu ri, the office of the spokesperson, all of them added their flavors..thankfully Jang woo wasn't the villain (I liked the actor a lot ) ..
The only thing was , I lost count on the number of times this female gets kidnapped ..and thrown off the cliff....i guess thrice by the same person ....and then out hero has to run after her ..in between the kidnapper & the conspirator is probably taking their beauty sleep bec sometimes its unbelievable how they jump to happy family scenes when the threat is on their doorstep ..
*a bit of spoilers so dont read if u haven't seen it *
Towards the end its a drag ..seriously he had no reason to disappear ..even if that last bit of truth was devastating for him *which shouldn't be , cmon its a far bigger shock that his father killed innocent orphaned children for fun rather than the fact that he got the fls brother killed ..* if im not.mistaken he wasn't her real brother was he ? I ff a lot of scenes..
What i totally loved is the overall vibe of their story .. when he tells her "even if im a nobody tomorrow ill still be your husband ", it was the best scene for me.. ..
both were traumatized by their families, both were protecting each other , but both couldn't communicate it ..he thought shes not happy in this marriage, she believed the same thing ..how both of them realized the time they wasted on petty misunderstandings & how they could be living a happy & normal life ..how they find that one communication channel Where they could pour their hearts out ..how he shuts that channel for good ( the day they kiss ) & start dealing with the real threat ..
The fl did a really good job with the sign language..that bit looks very real ..the ml was very good in the intense emotional scenes ..great job there 👏
a satisfying & a happy ending ..
