Suspenseful, exciting, brilliant acting especially Hyun Bin, he makes both parts totally different and believable. He never ever does a bad drama it's alway brilliant. This especially tugs at you in every possibility direction. It has a pace that keeps accelerating. Everyone involved does a brilliant job. It's a drama to see again and again.

Beautiful music that sicks in your head. That ties in so well with the drama. Just watch it. Before you know it you will be binge watching it.

This K-drama starts off a bit slowly, however, the episodes definitely get better and better. There are also a couple of slow episodes later, so I feel like this K-drama perhaps did not need 20 episodes. Nonetheless, the final few episodes are worth the wait. Hyun Bin, charismatic as ever, seems to carry most of the episodes, but the supporting cast have their respective moments. I've since learned these K-dramas have some recurring themes, e.g., prior meetings of the two leads earlier in their lives (destiny), relationships beginning with a bit of hostility ultimately resolved, and conflict with a parent or the parent of a romantic partner. With an interesting plot reflecting the personal and professional troubles of a man with a dual personality, we eventually learn all the details of the trauma that caused his dual personality and how he resolves his issues, finally creating a life on his own terms. One detraction / disappointment: the drama never resolves / spends enough time on Jang Ha Na's production of the Wonder Circus in Wonderland. Still, it was time well spent during 'safer at home'.

Wow, this is a lovely show,with an interesting theme of multiple personality disorder (although I am not sure how medically correct som e of the details are ). The two leads,Hyan Bin and Ji-min Han, are adorable,with, I think, great chemistry. The settings are beautiful,and the supporting actors are all brilliant. The show is funny at times and also has some thriller aspects, so plenty to keep a viewer watching. Other than the downside of rather intrusive theme songs,I recommend all 20 episodes to make you smile and also to make you think.

I came to this drama post CLOY, in search of more Hyun Bin. Well, nothing beats CLOY, of course, but I thought the storyline here was a fascinating premise, and HB did a great job with his two selves, especially towards the end. Episode 19 is a heartbreaker. Unlike other reviewers, I did not feel the story was out of balance or that one character was more likeable than the other. They were two parts of one man. And when those parts begin to merge, we witness the pain and surprise for each character.

The FL here is wise about the heart, memory and human behavior. I appreciated the fact that she is often the emotionally smartest one in the room and is given the most perceptive lines. Of course it would have been nice if she had a life that was depicted outside of these two men. Unfortunately, her main job is to be the foil.

The two things that made this hard to watch are the two villains. Both are so over the top. I really wish the writer and director had taken it down a notch or two with these guys. Evil capital E is exhausting. I hated when they were on screen (and sometimes skipped through those parts). Too much of their storylines is unbelievable. The scenes with the hypnotist-therapist were especially a slog.

As a total experience, this drama is dragged down by the two villains and the slow pacing of the middle episodes, which all undermine the curious intelligence of the premise. HB is best towards the end, when his acting is more nuanced.

Offers a blend of intrigue and romance for those seeking a relatively straightforward watch. The series explores the concept of split personalities in a modern setting, adding an element of mystery to the storyline.

The drama benefits from the performances of its lead actors, particularly Hyun Bin, who brings depth to his dual role. His portrayal of two distinct personalities showcases his acting prowess and keeps viewers engaged.

The romantic elements of it are sweet and heartwarming, providing moments of genuine connection between the main characters. The chemistry between the leads adds to the appeal of the series.

However, the drama falls short in terms of delivering a completely compelling narrative. The pacing can be uneven at times, and the execution of the split personality concept may not fully live up to its potential.

Despite its shortcomings this drama remains an option for those looking for a relatively average yet entertaining drama experience. It offers a mix of romance and mystery, making it a decent choice for viewers seeking a familiar and relatively undemanding storyline.
