From start to end the show has gratifying experience for the audience. This drama is not just about revenge but self-growth and survival. Every episode has a message conveying that second chances must be used wisely.
Both protagonist and antagonists crafted their characters with profound depth and equitable presence on the screen. In numerous episodes the antagonists stole the spotlight with their sheer insanity and unwavering consistency; their characters remained evil in nature in each episode, unlike other dramas where antagonists change last minute.
The story mainly revolves around three 3 characters: the main protagonist Kang Ji-won, and the main antagonists Park Min-Hwan & Jeong Su-min. But the character of Kang Ji-won showcases significant development and self-growth in each series, providing the audience with a truly satisfying arc.
The protagonist had flaws and insecurities from her past trauma which added depth to the character. Park Min-young’s role as Kang Ji-won was outstanding with her acting and level of intensity in the role she did justice to the character.
Song Ha-Yoon Ohh her role as Jeong Su-min was undoubtedly an iconic villain and will be remembered for a very long time. Her character as a psycho and an obsession with Kang Ji-won gives a chill to the audience with those next levels of insanity in every episode.
That one character where loves to hate and curse her whenever she is on the screen. Her underwater scene will remain iconic forever. Heads up to Song Ha-yoon for the excellent villainous role she portrayed.
Lee Yi-Kyung as Park Min-Hwan played a truly terrible husband. His nasty personality as Kang Ji-won’s cheater husband makes it impossible not to cure him on screen. Park Min-Hwan’s scenes and character were hilarious till the end with both satisfaction and sadness.
Na In-woo as Yoo Ji-hyuk bagged the hearts of all the female audience mostly with his puppy-coded charisma, he managed to shine in this drama with his endearing and loveable character.
Other characters like Hui Yeon, Baek Eunho, and Yang Juran made the show equally memorable.
From beginning to end the series kept the audience on its edge with its characters, plots, and twists, from time travel, revenge, betrayal, second chance, and the happy ending for all.
