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'.
