Synopsis:
Go Eun-byul and Lee Eun-bi are identical twins separated
at birth. Eun-bi lives at House of Love, an orphanage in Tongyeong, South
Gyeongsang Province, where the younger residents look up to her as a mother
figure. However, she hides the fact that she is bullied at school by
a gang of mean girls led by Kang So-young, while teachers turn a blind eye.
On the other hand, Go Eun-byul is the most popular girl
at Segang High School, the most prestigious private high school
in Seoul's Gangnam District. Eun-byul's best friends are Cha Song-joo
and Lee Shi-jin, and she shares a mutual attraction with Han Yi An, the
school's star swimmer. They have been friends since they were 8.
Eun-bi and Eun-byul look exactly alike, but only Eun-byul
is aware of the other's existence. Unlike the cheerful Eun-bi, Eun-byul is
prickly and secretive.
One day, on a school field trip to Tongyeong, Eun-byul
mysteriously disappears. At the same time, Eun-bi is unjustly expelled from her
school and jumps off a bridge in a suicide attempt. Ten days later, the injured
and amnesiac Eun-bi is mistaken for her twin Eun-byul, and the
latter's adoptive mother takes her home to Seoul, where she starts living as
Eun-byul.
Secrets get revealed later on when Eun Bi realizes she
isn't Eun Byul as she soon gets her memories back, but it is then discovered a
body was found at the site of Eun Bi's 'suicide'. So she starts living as Eun
Byul as Eun Bi is now 'dead'. Soon, Kang So-Young joins the school and finds
out Eun Bi is imposing as Eun Byul and tries to make her life miserable again,
but Eun Bi has changed and is now a different person from before.
My Thoughts:
I came into this drama's world prepared for a fun 18 year
old life drama but I got what I did not expect. A case of switched fates. A
dive into the hidden troubles of teenagers. A very mysterious mystery. First
episode was a bit deep. Second episode gave a lighter tone.
It is
so fun and exciting to watch this drama. I will try to keep spoilers as general
as possible. Revelations keep coming in and out. Secrets
revealed to people who should not have known. Love, heartbreak..... The one
wish viewers wished for fulfilled. Explosions of emotions. The past is
uncovered slowly for a person who should not be the one to face it. Leaning and
dependence. A cliche bad female character we all want to hit and kill. Cliches
that are beyond cliches. Now, it has ended. The struggles of being an 18 year
old are tough but it will all work out in the end. With the drama's message(in
my opinion), it's okay if you're hurt because you're an 18 year old. And I
think for me that feeling has arrived without being 18 year old yet. And in the
end, a ship has sunk and another ship set sail. *sob *sob Can't believe it's
ended. Until the end, super DUPER Good.
The actors and actresses did a great job so far
portraying the feelings of being an 18 year old. I get fresh feelings like
spring from them. And I absolutely love it. On episodes 1-4, the fire is lit.
Episodes 5-6, the fireworks began. Episodes 7-8, an splendid spread of colors.
An amazing spectacle. The writer did a good job in balancing the good parts and
bad parts(which I usually mute due to it's annoyingness, There's subtitles.
XD). Once you feel angry at the bad parts, immediately the good parts come to
cool the anger. A well-planned rollercoaster ride.
TOTAL RECOMMEND to watch. Seriously watch it. Cliche and dejavu are a given
here but they make it feel different. They give a splendid twist to the word.
The plot is amazing eventhough I still dislike switched fates with identical
twins. But still, the story ROCKS. A drama that truly excites me to wait
for it is enjoyable as the age setting is close to mine being 16. Which makes
it more relatable in a sense. Again, it ROCKS!! XDXD
