Top Award for a C/Drama with the MOST number of unlikeable characters
I just recently discovered this C Drama and looking at the excellent casting, I was truly excited to watch this series. Until,..I wasn't. I think, the reason for the low ratings and poor reviews are (myself included) is because of the lack of likeable characters that the audience can lock onto, like and root for, otherwise, viewers lose interest very quickly and become annoyed having wasted their time on unsavory characters. Also, there was a lot of abusive characters and episodes being physical, mental or otherwise. Most people don't care for abusive behavior that was acceptable to the director and the screen writer. Apparently, the script writer/director don't understand the 101 of film making, namely.. create characters that/whom are engaging and likeable to hook and engage the audience,. (villains are fine too as long as they don't overtake the likeable characters)
1. I am a huge fan of Yang Mi, her character in this movie was deplorable. Even in the beginning, with her "cheerful", nosy, know it all, intrusive, no boundaries behavior was truly annoying and dislikeable. And later, her character evolved into a dishonest, lying, stubborn, still intruding into other people's business, character that was even worse and unrealistic.
2. The very unreasonable character of the ML's best friend, behaving like a toddler with temper tantrums and abusive, bullying behavior. An yet, you want us to believe that her boyfriend not only tolerated the abuse but supported it. Seriously?? What idiot would put up with such awful behavior in real life? Is this a wishful thinking of the script writer?
3. Brother of ML. is a completely unhinged character which is pretty dangerous for a supposed Neuro surgeon not to mention for a dr who is supposedly a trained psychologist. He is not only a liar and a narcissist but also an ungrateful individual toward the parents who adopted and raised him. They should have left him in the gutter.
4. The Mother of the ML, what mother would intentionally cause harm to their child in the name of helping them. What a vile, hateful person.
I am going to stop here because there is a whole longer list of dislikeable characters and it would be too long to list it
Honestly, the only likes likeable character was the FL best friend's boyfriend and the ML despite of his unrealistic obsession that was again, due to ridiculous writing.
Bottom line, I don't like the fact that this drama tolerates so much abuse ( mental and otherwise) and demeans men in general by creating male characters that are not only tolerating but applauding such bullying and abusive behavior. It's insulting and I am saying this being a woman. It was painful to watch.
Again, creating such tolerant/unrealistic male characters must have been a female script writer's wishful thinking.
