RIP beloved human doll keeper Nurse Hwang :'( Not a fan of saying goodbye to the some of fun female characters. I *AM* a fan of everything else YONG PAL chooses to be! It continues to have refreshing and unexpected twists. I like the pacing... I like Tae Hyun and Yeo Jin establishing what they mean to each other this early on. I like that all the shady characters are actually fun and dangerous-- I can feel the stakes. The big-baddies don't seem to be an afterthought like the chaebol inheritance drama/childhood switcheroo nonsense that could ruin a drama *coughKillMeHealMecough*. IDK I really appreciate the slower, quieter lovely focus on the two leads that manages to feel ominous at the same time.

'I've never wanted someone to take revenge this much ever.'

The drama got high ratings when it was aired. The lead girl is such a bitch and I really do feel like slapping her face everytime she appear on screen lol. But she was really lovely irl (in WGM) so I thought it was amazing since she always stuck with evil characters in all her drama career.
