So horrible.
Story - was interesting at first, then started having a twist that built up into a soddy excuse of an ending.
Characters - no growth. Protagonist was so passive he was boring. He started some growth when he grew balls but then ended up giving in. Antagonist was creepy but still had his happy ending. Could have had his skills and energy channelled into something more productive then he would have had some growth. Side characters suddenly disappeared and were never heard from anymore.
The relationship - was not justifiable. Stalkers get off on getting a reaction from their prey. So I don't understand what kept him interested in the protagonist when he was not getting any response. Just not realistic enough.
Analysis - it seemed like the author had a lot of good plans for this but had to drop it like a hot potato. Too bad it was going great at the start, but really, the middle and end was just so poor. And no, obsessive love can be choking and tiresome. You would not want a lover like that. No one would. Especially not someone twisted as to keep on tormenting you to get you to love them. No matter how good looking. No matter how well they cook and clean. Not especially when they like rape. You'll lose your mind and kill yourself before you even get your freedom.

Human Shinwoo
> in love with and dedicated his life to find
< asked him to kill her in the end so he can return Ki-hyun's life force
Doll Woo Hee

Nine tailed Miho

<was in love with and obsessed with her
God Of Life and Death
>hated Ki-Hyun and the doll so he manipulated events so they will both die.
Did I get that right?
PS: Arrows show their relationship. ┗( T﹏T )┛

Huan Wen's story and character progress is so moving for me because I relate on a lot of levels. It's so difficult and suffocating when your family expects so much of you and you can't make yourself happy because you're scared that your happiness will break their heart. I'm not queer, but I know how it is to love someone unacceptable on your family's perspective that you have to hide your happiness and live a lie. I've been at it for 7 years now and it's so tiring. It's not so much as you don't have thr courage to love, it's that you love so much that you can't make a choice, so you sacrifice your own self - coz that's what it means to love.
I hope he at least would find happiness.
There's an actual group that recently debuted with the same name, by the same company, albeit with different members.
"SURPRISE U (서프라이즈 U) is a four-member actor group under Fantagio Music. Originally a five piece, they held their debut showcase on July 7, 2017.
On December 3, 2019, member Cha In Ha was found dead at his home, and the cause of death is currently being investigated by the police." ╥﹏╥
