The synopsis for this shouldn't be considered too much. This drama looks at the way we deceive ourselves and deceive others, and ask us to question when those things are valid. It also asks us to consider how we pass on values about these things to our children, and how much we would sacrifice for pride.

Very much a slow burn, it takes until at least episode four before you start to have any real understanding of the world in which these people are living, but the craft involved in having set it up this way means that although you don't much like their world, you can't quite turn away from it. The characters themselves refer to the novel Wuthering Heights at one point, and it's a pretty good parallel as to the way things go here.

The actors are all very talented, and their expertise are very much made use of. Totally worth the time investment if you don't mind not getting a 'happy ending'.

A successful artist married to a rich businessman has her life turned upside down when a one time friend returns looking for revenge because of events in their past. It is a slow paced drama where you get to know more about past incidents from each individuals perspective. It is very cleverly written as you find yourself understanding a characters behaviour who you disliked as their story is told. The whole cast does a resounding job as there are many interesting side characters, but Go Hyun-iuna and Shin Hyun-been as the main protagonists are outstanding.

A story of love and betrayal, similar to Wuthering Heights. Woo Jae is the one who truly loved and paid with his life. His lover, after cheating on her husband, goes back for money. His wife can not accept being abandoned and keeps him alongside to punish him, his lover, and destroys the lovers' family. The moral : if somebody does not love you as you love them, show your love by letting them go. Don't be clingey and spiteful, fate gives everyone their due.

Probably a non-typical k-drama. Very complex yet heart touching story, loved every dialogue and scene including the final episode. Apart from main leading characters, even other roles had very well thought of story plot and depth.

I like this series I enjoy👍👍 I like haeju and wojae character❤❤ I like the ending too. Sad ending but it's a reality .karma.it comes to you.

Once you commit a sin you must be prepared for what will happen to you in the end .for the sin you have committed 😥

Had high expectations for this series at the start but there was basically very little plot which stretched on for 16 eps. Would've been a much better series if they brought down the number of episodes. The ending is very unsatisfactory as well.

One of the best K dramas if not the best in my opinion that I've seen. I'm not into romcoms and this definitely had some romance but not in a corny way. This show was totally what I was looking for. From beginning to the end.. constant edge of your seat thriller with everything else mixed in. The actors were incredible, the scenery was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking as if you were actually there. I binge watched this show and finished it in 2 days. I couldn't stop watching because I had to know what was going to happen next. I didn't want it to end :( I'm looking for another thriller such as this one to binge on. LOVE, LOVE this show. Highly recommend!

I did enjoy watching this drama it was until almost the end so kept me wanting to watch more. I like watching these type of dramas. However the ending was a little disappointing. I really hope there will be a season 2 so that they'll continue the story and finish it off with a more satisfying ending.

Have you ever watched something where so many characters are moody, dysfunctional, or downright incapable of normal behaviors? The actor "Mr. Seo" character is Korea's answer to Keanu Reeves: talk about zero range. This was a bad deal all around. Watching it, I really could care less about any of the leads.

Among many K-dramas, though this one contains some melodramatic elements which do not always add up, it tells a story about choices, lust, and the question about what's right and wrong. Yes, it gets painfully slow at times, and I confessed that I fast-forwarded some parts when binge-watching several episodes in a row. All in all, the acting of the leading actress, (played by Hyundai-Jung Go) and the chemistry between she and the young artist (played by Jae-young Kim) is quite good. I enjoyed watching it because the emotions and the choices that the characters had and presented reminded me of myself when I was younger. I seemed to be at least once involved in part of the choices they made, such as not letting go of a long-term relationship, getting over a fling, being betrayed or once believing that my love for someone so firmly almost to the extent of irrationality and madness, and the extreme raw emotions and the aching of having to live without him or her. Or for example, one of the characters would rather her ex-lover died long ago then being in a coma and returned. These aspects are well-acted out in this drama. It is certainly not to be compared to the movie, The Piano (1993), in every aspect, but the haunting tune that it left is quite similar to me. You couldn't help but wonder, what kind of choices you would have made if you were them. Why were we sometimes attracted to someone when you knew you should not? What is right and what is wrong? Eventually, all the choices we made led up to where we are now. All the actions and inaction have come to an end for some in this drama.

It started as a captivating story, but the bitter, self-pitying, vengeful Ms. Gu's twisted reasoning and plots just dragged on and on. Basically, everyone had to be punished and had to suffer forever because the man she loved, never really loved her and was unfaithful.

One could have felt sorry for Ms Gu in the beginning, but her exagerated self-pity and twisted manipulation of absolutely everyone, even the man she professed to love, was just exhausting!

I had to skip to the end after about episode 11/12 and it was a really disappointing ending. Don't bother.

You either love it or you don't. I thought the beginning was nice and dark enough. But the last episodes were depressing , too bad. I would have preferred a happy ending. But that's my taste:)

When the background of a movie is about art u expect profound meaning in it but this TV Seri has poor meanings about love and human feelings / there is really nothing in this TV Seri that u can say it as a deep concept about life or human or love.

The characters are not real , the love story is poor and not realistic.

For example there is no sympathy between two old friends (two main female characters) and this is not real and looks completely artificial.

By episode 8, I asked myself «What are you doing, watching this?!».

The Mr. Seo character, the Woman in the green coat and the overall strange vibe, made me quit watching.

I'm not a bit curious about how it all ends.

The mentioned Mr. Seo is so boring and without any charisma at all.

Why does the Woman in the green coat bother to wait for someone like him?! He did'nt seem any more interesting before his accident either.

No one in this show seem to behave like a normal person would, so it all ends up being just too many weird people and subplots. And they all seem to be at the same place at the same time, for some reason. I have seen this in so many shows, and it would be fine if they all lived in a small village, but they do not.

Even the music is wrong...

The characters were its biggest downfall. All the characters were insane, demented, deranged and devoid of integrity. There was no layers to their madness. You'll have to humanize them first before stripping it away. Skipping the first step would devalue their actions and take away from the watching experience. Aside from the characters, the drama was excruciatingly slow for no apparent reason other than filling the contracted runtime. Slow burners are acceptable when they serve a purpose to either immerse the viewers into its world or to seamlessly build up the tension. The drama failed to do either. The twists were overdone for the sake of it rather than adding to the narrative meaningfully. Even then, they weren't appealing nor interesting. Once the memory was restored the drama took a sharp and sudden turn for the worst going against what it tried to build up to, this includes the ending. One more thing, there was an attempt to have a play on artistic symbolism but none of which landed well. Partially because of the two aforementioned points.
