OVERALL STORY: This story was so good and intriguing. It continued to build layer upon layer. And the mystery deepened as the show went on. Like with shows like Lawless Lawyer the more you watch the more you understand and the more confused you are. You start to realize that maybe the killer isn't always who you thought it would be (that plot twist was one I didn't see coming but horrifyingly made sense) and that everything is not as it seems. I did like the more mystical element with the abyss thrown in but that also led to a lot more people dying because they could just be brought back. Anytime someone died all I had to do was wait and they would be brought back. Which was a little annoying when I didn't like the person. I loved the romance in this show as well, it was gradual and so precious. I loved the ending even though I cried through most of the first half of the episode. Overall this plot and story were well written and I loved it !
MAIN COUPLE: I shipped them pretty much from the first couple of episodes. He was super sweet to her and yet when she was being annoying he wouldn't take her crap. She went through a lot of hard times with her parents thinking she was dead and all and it was great to see him be her support. They went through a lot of rough patches with him trying to get back with his ex fiancee (*wrinkles nose*) and her completely rejecting him because she had this mindset for the first part of the show. I loved when they got together though I mean the cuddling and the kissing and the super cute dates. It was very precious and I love the chemistry between them.
OTHER COUPLES: We get a relationship between Park Dong-cheol and Lee Mi-do and I actually really loved it. It took them a while because there was A LOT of complications but once they got together it was great. Unfortunately we did not get as much of them as I would have liked but what we do get is cute. And they get married at the end which is super great.
CHA MIN: He is the cutest. He is super sweet I mean I just love how he is. And I also love how fierce he becomes when the people he loves are threatened. He is just genuinely a good person. He is also super cute appearance wise so that's a plus. I did like how his new appearance didn't go to his head. I mean sure he had his moments where he was like yeah I'm attractive and I know it but he was never super prideful about it. It bolstered his confidence but it never changed him fundamentally as a person.
GO SE-YEON: I did not like her before she got brought back to life. In the flashbacks we see of her I thought she was spoiled and stuck up. But when she gets brought back in a new body her whole perspective changes. And she changes. And then I really love her. She pushes so hard and does everything she can to catch the killer. She is also more polite then I would be to people who have wronged her. But like mentioned previously my favorite thing about her is her determination. No one else would have the power or strength to be able to what she did. And it was no shock that she used to be a prosecutor I mean she knows what she is doing.
PARK DONG-CHEOL: I love this detective. He is like the only sane one on this police force I swear. And I love how he is willing to help them out and then when he figures out everything he is a total pro. I mean this whole mystery couldn't have been solved without him. And he is such a precious cinnamon roll.
OH YEONG- CHEOL: He is psychotic. I mean he is pretty sketchy. But to be entirely fair Seo Ji-uk is scarier but I thought for the first part of the series he set things up pretty well. He was a competent villain and annoyingly intelligent. The way he so emotionlessly kills people is pretty terrifying. One of the worst parts of him is when you see his past of abusing his family. It is heartbreaking and hard to watch. However I do think he got the perfect ending. His death couldn't have come any better than that.
JANG HUI-JIN: I really did not like her for the longest time and I'm still not sure if I do. I mean she does this awful stuff with the point of keeping her mother alive which I understand but then when she gets her mother she doesn't keep an eye on her like she should. I mean she needed to be extra careful and I think she would have been better off if she hadn't run away from the secure facility they were staying at. I just thought her stupidity led to a lot of bad things and that annoyed me. I was so glad she and Cha Min did not end up together.
SEO JI-UK: This was a villain I DID NOT expect. And man was he terrifying. I had liked him from what we saw earlier in the series. However when the knowledge came out that he was the serial killers son and that he had participated in a lot of murders he terrified me. I mean he was so conniving and the way he went about things was scary. I mean I didn't think any one could be as messed up as Oh yeong-cheol but I was dead wrong. He was scary and broken and definitely psychotic. He also got a fitting ending and even that was a little hard for me to watch. He ended up getting the death sentence and the way he freaked out still claiming he was innocent was kind of disturbing and sad.
LEE MI-DO: I didn't think she'd become an important character but she does. She is still secondary and we don't get a whole lot of screen time with her but what we do get she is pretty legit. I loved the scene where Go se-yeon (who when she is brought back looks like Lee Mi-do before she got plastic surgery) totally goes after Seo ji-uk like a total pro and everyone expects Mi-do to be mad because everyone thinks that it was her but she is like girl way to go! I adored her in that scene.
