Swallow the Sun Episode 1

Normal Start: The usual introduction

I started this drama because it’s considered one of the fewest action Korean dramas and since I am sucker of that genre, I was pretty sure that I will enjoy this but after watching the first episode; I don’t think I like the beginning; it’s the predictable love story of two people separated by faith leaving a child behind who’s the male lead. I didn’t relate to Kim Il Hwan’s story and I am more than glad that Mi Yeon isn’t the female lead. Except five or seven minutes at the beginning, this episode felt melodramatic which is not my taste. I know that the writers wanted to give the male lead a proper back story but that should’ve not took a whole episode.
