I Can’t Believe People Hate This K-Drama

Most reviews say this is the worst K-drama they have watched, but I beg to disagree. This drama is what pulled me out of my K-drama slump. It has a good balance of romance and comedy. The first few episodes were a bit hard to watch, but by episode 3 the story starts to make sense and you slowly grow to love it.

I think the reason I loved it is because it isn’t entirely the kind of K-drama that’s so predictable it becomes boring. While it still has some cliché elements, it doesn’t rely on them too much. The writing, script, and the actors’ delivery was profound. Even so, the chemistry between the leads was enough to keep me invested.

That said, a lot of the time was spent on resolving conflicts and I felt that the main leads’ relationship could have been explored more. It left me wanting more, especially after the reconciliation. I wish they had added more scenes that lingered more on them than the journey that lies ahead.

It surprised me

I honestly thought I would be so disappointed to watch this but I am not. I can't explain how it tug my heart strings to see Cho-yeong(Naksu) live the life she could've lived if the traumatic things didn't happened. If life had been different, and she didn't have to choose between survival and living. I loved her as Mu deok-i, (S1)but I also loved her as Cho-yeong(Naksu, S2) because I got to see the version of her that bears freedom. Honestly, I was planning to skip S2 because I alrdy known beforehand that Mu deok-i wouldn't be there and I fell in love with the character but I am glad I took the risk.

In S1, I was truly looking forward to their wedding but the thought that Cho-yeong(Naksu) would have to sacrifice her power, her chance to freedom consistently bothered me. I am glad that in S2, she wouldn't have to disguise herself entirely just to survive. I also love how the drama, perfectly tells the story of how Jang Uk truly loved her soul. A love so deep it was never bound by the face she wore.
