Really wanted to like this, but having trouble
I'm trying to get into this drama. But I'm having a difficult time staying engaged and have stopped/started multiple times. The idea interested me because I saw some reviews mentioning it was like an Asian version of Pride and Prejudice. But while the acting is okay, I think the writing isn't as clever and isn't keeping me as engaged. And I don't feel the same feeling like I did watching Pride and Prejudice where you were cheering for the leads and really wanted to see them get together. And the leads don't really feel like leads although I do have respect for the actors who played them. I saw the ML in a couple other dramas, he impressed me with how young he was IRL, yet conveyed deep emotions and pulled off playing someone older. And the FL, I only saw her in Blossom in Adversity as a SFL. I actually liked her character in that series more than here. I think part of it is because she used her real voice in the other drama while she was dubbed here. Just my opinion, but after becoming familiar with an actor's real voice, it's always harder for me to get into a series when the actor is dubbed. I'm not sure if I will continue or not. I am taking a break and may start up again at some point.
