Right from the get-go, I was able to see Kim Bo-ra as Kim Hye-na, or Yoon Se-ah as No Seung-hye these actors really embraced their roles and made the characters come alive. Perhaps it is because this is a cast made up of experienced but relatively low profile actors, especially for the вЂњstudentsвЂќ of the cast. The way the actors fully immerse themselves in their meaty roles throughout the show definitely helps too. It is surely a strength of this dramaвЂ™s writers to make viewers feel for even the worst of characters. It was so frustrating to see him act in an incorrigible manner, but I recognised my own rigidity in him as well.

In an instant, he lost all that was familiar to him, and all he could do was to return to the dreams that he had been holding on to for a majority of his life. His obsession with his pyramid and the success it represents is often played for comedic effect in the drama, but it was so heartbreaking to watch him futilely cling on to his ambitions because there was nothing else left for him. Furthermore, the fact that these characters always act in line with their backgrounds and their own deep-rooted motivations makes it difficult to dislike them completely, not when we are able to understand them to a certain extent.Д®ven law professor Cha Min-hyuk ( Kim Byung- chul), who is the most exaggerated character in the drama, had notable moments which resonated deeply with me. We may hate them, especially at their weakest or worst moments, but we cannot deny that we see certain parts of them in ourselves. The dramaвЂ™s characterization shines with its array of flawed and highly relatable characters. The dramaвЂ™s strengths lie in technical areas like the immersive acting of the cast, the brilliant camerawork, and set design, but more importantly, it is storytelling done right.
