THE SHORT VERDICT:
I feel like the most effective, succinct way to describe this show, is a sentiment that I saw floating around the interwebs; that this show is very much My Mister – but with romance.
That’s high praise, because most drama fans agree that My Mister is a masterpiece of a drama – and I do think that this show deserves that praise.
To my eyes, this is as thoughtful and as carefully conceived, and as nuanced and faceted, and as illuminating, organic and visceral, in the watch experience, as My Mister.
Our entire cast is excellent, but Kim Young Kwang and Lee Sung Kyung truly stand out, as our leads.
As a bonus, the music is lilting and lovely, in a manner that amplifies Show’s sweet melancholy.
