Eun Chan's tomboyishness was taken too far. Some of her eating scenes felt plain disgusting to watch. There is no reason a poor person needs to behave like a slob and a glutton. She was 24 and supposedly supported her family for years and yet so immature, awkward, and seemed like she dressed in confusing clothing deliberately to get mistaken as a male! The love story was sweet but all points to the male lead who carried the romance to believability. This girl conned him over months to the extent that it felt like he was too good for her. Would have helped if the male lead also accomplished his own dreams in the two years she went to study, instead of just waiting around for her to get back. Why is the male giving up his dream considered romantic but the female expects the guy to understand while she pursues her own!? Since it was a story taken way back in 2007 maybe it was modern for its age but in today's time it feels like parts of it haven't aged well.

***Spoilers alert*** Good acting but plot was too convoluted and gruesome, and downright confusing and deliberately misleading at times. There are several questions still left unanswered at the end. I wish they just showed us exactly what happened during both the murders at the end. Why would the bestie make a fake video, deliberately make as if a struggle happened in her room, and do all this with her boyfriend, but later take a fake video with Frie's help and finally how did she die, and how did her body get dumped in the canal? Roo's dad is a pathological liar, serial flirt and cheater and more likely to have killed Brekte. I thought Frie was covering for him due to some misplaced loyalty and love. And then they show Brekte's father shoving his daughter accidentally, another useless misleading scene which led to nothing. That necklace in the book proves nothing except her friend gave it to her, which they already show. The jurors lives were more interesting and human but they are all such flawed characters as well. The trial didn't even seem over and suddenly it was the last episode where the jurors are deliberating, it felt incomplete and unfair. There is not a single character you can entirely like in the whole series.
