I feel like Broken The Heart will leave me emotionally affected, but just look at these scenes.

I knew the male lead from governor's secret love looked familiar and it's him! The 2nd male lead from Butterflied Lover! I adored his character in that one and am now enjoying him in this drama too. Good for Him.

Did short cdramas just discover choking or something?

It is 100% the hot new thing with them.

I finished Butterflied Lover which was for me very unexpected all the way through. I went into believing it was simply a sweet romance and was blown away by the first two eps. I mean probably could have read the description of the show and had some idea but I didn't because I almost never do.

And it was a sweet romance, just not like any I've seen before and with a lot of, ummmm, weird monster magic and moral uncertainty?

It was incredibly short by most cdrama standards, 22 eps about 15 mins long. Which in itself was refreshing. It managed a variety of tone changes and a good amount of tension in that short time. And also a lot of sweet romance. Plus one of the steamier love scenes I've seen in a cdrama.

The leads and the larger cast were all excellent and succeeded in making the story intensely emotional even in the short time they had to establish everything. The secondary romance was surprisingly moving given the set up for it. Very good character development there. And interesting too, since the main couple's story is mostly is mostly about maintaining who they truly are. The sets and costumes were also excellent. It seems weird but I liked how small the domestic life was compared to most big palace or mansion dramas, and how much of domestic life took place outdoors.

I really enjoyed this, but I'm not sure what to say about the ending. From a satisfying storytelling perspective it seems like it needs another ep between 21 and 22 to wrap everything up. But we don't get that, and instead it's somewhat nebulous in that I think each watcher can interpret the ending (I read several other people's interpretations that I don't agree with). But I suppose that in itself is satisfying since you can decide what you personally need from the ending.

Would recommend if you want something quick or you're looking for something a little different. Just be prepared for something of a choose-your-own-adventure ending.

And I still think the translated title is terrible as I have since this first came on my radar.
