Disappointing & miscast. Even Doh Kyung Soo's visuals can't save it
Initially, even though it has Doh Kyung Soo in it, I was not interested, because another reviewer said : " the final scene hints at Happily Ever After but falls short of satisfying with the final scene leaving you wanting more + There were a couple of unresolved plot arcs and character threads"
I relented to watching when I couldn't find anything that seemed better. After all, it Does have Doh Kyung Soo in it !
As of ep 5, D.O. had yet to impress me with anything other than the action sequences . His stoicism- (yeah, he's got amnesia), but still, it lasts too long & his dead pan expression does not improve upon by being so frequent. And here lies the main problem; this is not the right drama for D.O. Also, the female lead feels miscast & her character written badly. Between the 2 of them, I did not like nor was I interested in either one of them. For some reason, the romance between them was uninteresting as well. The second male lead meshed better as an actor & as a character with the female lead & her character. A big problem being that Kim Seon HO oozes charisma & emotes well, while, D.O. 's talents & charm are better suited to a different part than what he played here.
I wanted to love it, but I felt it was too much dependent on & geared toward long close of ups of D.O's lovely face while he was dead pan/stoic .
