PPL lasts at least 5 episodes
I do have an old account and I have my bias profile. I come here with a new acc because I don't want to get my bias involved while giving an.opinion.Reviews up to episode 5 (Spoilers ahead)
Good things first
Visual effects - Great and totally a high budget production
Now to other things
*Storyline/Writing*
I don't know where it will be going . It is neither a heartfelt sob story, a swoony romance nor a good revenge story. It is so bland like a chicken soup without salt.
Since it is a high production drama with famous casts, famous writer, I will continue watching to know how it ends, but it is a drama with no known casts, I may have already dropped it.It is one of the dramas I want to be stubborn because I want to be clear about my opinion about the drama whether 'I Love it because it improves later ' or 'I Hate it because it is so bad' .
*Characters*
I don't feel connected neither with Genie male lead nor with psychopath female lead. Like they are strangers on the street who have nothing to do with me. Our female lead has abandonment issue ,yet I never sympathize with her. (Park Bo Gum character in 'I Remember You/Hello Monster' is a psychopath ,but I felt sorry for him.) Here,I feel nothing. Both are narcissistic individuals. I don't even understand why I should root for this couple.
Not only the leads ,also supporting characters are uninteresting -except they are plot device . There is not a particular one we should root for.
At first, I thought her grandma story would be the one that changed our female's story. But she was turned into a childish character.
*OST/Music*
There is not any memorable one up to episode 5 .
*Acting*
Nothing remarkable. Both Suzy and Kim Woo Bin can do better than that . But here they do nothing extraordinary except being models for beers and luxury brands .
