Good story but not really interesting
I think many will agree with me, but the story isn’t anything to write about. It’s just like a still water, there’s nothing wrong with it being still, meaning the story itself has no problematic element that I feel I can correct, yet that doesn’t make it interesting.
So I will review how interesting it is from the perspective of characters.
Number 1 would be Ko Jun. Out of all character he is the most well-written and compelling. Or maybe it’s because I have tendencies to love tragedy… anyway his story is the most interesting to watch, his struggle and all, even with the minimal screen time.
Number 2 would be tied between Kim Mubee and Hong Sijun.
Kim Mubee story is fairly interesting, especially all the backstory of her dad, and how she tried to ‘win’ over him. Hong Sijun relationship with his family, his background, struggle, and relationship with Son Jua is also fairly interesting. Though to note I said fairly, which means I don’t think their characters are executed to the fullest. Simply speaking it’s just there and there.
Okay lastly would be Ko Gyeom and Son Jua character. Son Jua needless to say, it’s because her story is mostly dependent on Hong Sijun and Kim Mubee. If you notice she doesn’t really have story that’s centered around her. While Ko Gyeom character is dependent on Ko Jun and Kim Mubee. Different from Son Jua, he actually have many independent story, but it’s not that interesting. If I may say, his best plot point was when he keep repeating the car motion in the rain to see whether it was really an accident.
All the actors here are fantastic, they truly deliver best of their roles, but back to the story point, their story isn’t executed well. Even for the best written character Ko Jun, his ending feels very rushed. I know the limit is 10 ep so you gotta hurry up but there was lot of scene I deemed unnecessary so I don’t understand this decision.
There is nothing wrong with the story itself, so I will give it 8. Cast is easy 10/10. Music is debatable, but I’ll give it 10 too. The rewatch value, well there’s nothing to rewatch for me so 7(?)
