This drama is special because it makes you root for both sides of the same guy. Robin is so gentle, you want him to win, but Seo-Jin’s pain makes you understand why he’s cold. Ha-Na is the glue that holds everything together. I like that it’s not just romance, there’s real talk about family pressure and trauma. The rating on Viki is high for a reason, people feel it. Ignore the mixed reviews, watch it yourself. You might end up loving it like I did.

Overrated in my opinion. Everyone praises Hyun Bin, but the story itself is weak. The DID plot gets repetitive after a while, same switch back and forth, same arguments. The circus girl is too perfect, no real flaws. I wanted more conspiracy and crime like the webtoon description, but it’s mostly feelings and park drama. Dropped around episode 12, couldn’t take more. If you want a good split personality drama, go watch Kill Me Heal Me instead. This one tries too hard to be romantic.

Watched because of Hyun Bin and ended up loving the whole thing. The contrast between Seo-Jin and Robin is so clear, and the way Ha-Na falls for both sides without knowing is heartbreaking and sweet at the same time. The circus setting is fresh, not the usual office romance. Yeah, it has some cliché moments, but the acting carries it. Sung Joon as Tae-Joo is good too, adds tension. If you like emotional stories with a bit of humor, this one delivers. Finished all 20 episodes fast.

Honestly, I found it kind of boring. The idea sounds cool on paper, dissociative identity with a chaebol and a circus girl, but the execution felt messy. Too many side characters that don’t matter, and the comedy didn’t land for me at all. I kept waiting for more action or mystery like the title promises, but it’s mostly romance and crying scenes. Hyun Bin tries, Han Ji-Min is cute, but the script lets them down. I finished it because I hate dropping dramas, but wouldn’t rewatch. 6/10 at best. Better options out there for psychological stuff.​

You're not the only one with that complaint. Many others complained about the plot.
