Amazing Chemistry, Good Story But Falls Apart
I usually don’t feel this conflicted about a rating, but I do now.
When I began this drama it totally gripped. I started binging it and I was totally engrossed. The story is not standard. I really like that it is an unconventional romance, but definitely still a romance.
The chemistry between the leads is top notch. I’m a sucker for good chemistry and this drama definitely has it.
Also, the characters were interesting, both admirable and flawed. This is one of the messiest love triangles I’ve watched in an Asian drama. Each of the three main characters, contributes to the complicatations of the love triangle and also suffer because of it. I felt compelled to empathize with each of them but also scream at them for not being stronger. I was deeply invested which I enjoy in a drama.
However, the story begins to falter towards the end. In the last third, the pacing is totally out of wacks. Some plot points are dragged out and over complicated, and other points are rushed. Overall, the sense of romance is not fully sustained.
That being said, I did enjoy this drama thoroughly the majority of the time so I’m happy I watched it. The story is unique and gripping and the chemistry between the leads is fantastic.
