Somber & Maudlin makes you want to empty a fridge full of soju in one sitting
Really disappointing . I kept hoping for things to get better but mostly, I couldn't wait for it to be done. This is Not lighthearted. It's sparse on the fun & if the Warm fuzzies are here, they're hiding. The tone of the first 13 or so episodes is somber, maudlin & just plain depressing. The two leads did well, but the convoluted plot was exhausting-weighed down with too much heavy drama. Second & 3rd leads grated on my nerves as they pined for thier love interests which came across as more obsessive & pointless.
The last 3 episodes are mostly flashbacks explaining things, BUT these are the least depressing episodes, so you do finish on a slight "high", but in a bizarre way [in comparison to ep 1-13] The Ending is happy for most characters,[ but don't expect weddings.]
As it is, Episodes 1-13 (ish) make you want to either fast forward through them or empty a fridge full of soju in one sitting.
