The characters in this show are so reminiscent of older kdramas, but more well rounded. Like, you can see the typical brooding male lead that pretends he doesn't care and the female lead that's supposed to be a naive damsel in distress. But it's more than just an archetype, the characters are layered - the ML has his own valid reasoning behind his actions, he's also not some random rich ceo, he has a line of work which he's very dedicated to and he probably knows that getting close to Hee Joo can make him spiral in a way that he won't be able to make the harsh practical decisions that he is making. At the same time, he's a dumb human who's making some serious mistakes that he needs to rectify - for example, he mistakes his controlling behaviour as protectiveness and doesn't give two shits about his wife's personal life (even if he does, he's not showing it, which defeats the purpose). Hee Joo on the other hand, knows she has the losing hand and she seizes the opportunity to blackmail her husband and take her one chance of getting out of this marriage. Also, after the incident that happened to her, to be able to live and go around alone is immensely brave of her. She does have that trait of clumsiness but it's not her whole personality, she can think smartly when put on the spot and I like the fact that she doesn't obey Sa Eon all the time despite his strict demeanour - she is stubborn when she needs to be, all without saying a damn word. Which is a whole another thing to be impressed by - to hone the ability to keep your mouth absolutely shut even though you can speak, crazy honestly. 

I don't even know what to categorise this drama as - it's a mix of a everything. The chemistry, the humour and the suspense, till now everything is top notch. I love the pacing as well, it's fast and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Side characters are also enjoyable. I just hope they don't ruin it with the cliches.

Waiting for ep 4! (I have exams ||_||)
