This drama started with high expectations due to the many positive reviews, but unfortunately ...
Sometimes a drama doesn’t fail because it’s bad — it fails because the expectations become too high.
This was unfortunately one of those cases for me. After being flooded with overwhelmingly positive reviews, I went in expecting something truly exceptional. Instead, what I got was a drama that started well but gradually lost its impact.
The chemistry between the leads is good, and I genuinely enjoyed the cinematography — visually, this drama is beautiful. The framing, lighting, and atmosphere were well done and clearly had effort put into them. On a technical level, it deserves praise.
However, by the time the drama reached episode 5, the story began to feel repetitive. The narrative didn’t progress in a meaningful way, and scenes started to feel predictable rather than engaging. What initially felt charming slowly turned into something dull, making it harder to stay emotionally invested.
I didn’t hate this drama, and dropping it wasn’t an easy decision. But with so many other dramas out there that feel more exciting and fresh, I had to let this one go. Sometimes it’s better to move on than to force yourself to finish something that no longer holds your interest.
This drama might still work for viewers who enjoy slow-paced storytelling and visual aesthetics over plot development. Sadly, it just wasn’t for me.
