What were they thinking?
I`ve watched this drama only once - and that was a chore all on its own. I feel like this drama was honestly helmed by amateur writers - in every sense of the word.
This drama is supposed to show two character developments happening at the same time and in the same place. Lee Mih-ho`s character is meant to put up a charade for a rather selfish reason, however he`s supposed to change along the way. Not the most creative plot line, but it`s honestly the best part of this mess. Lee Mih-ho`s acting can really be one-dimensional and hit-or-miss, but he`s without a doubt the best actor here, along with Ryoo Seung-Ryong. It`s just that he has no chemistry with Son Ye-jin. And it doesn`t help that her character is a complete doormat and above all, that she`s not convincing in this role. Her character`s development is supposed to be centered around letting go, taking your life by the horns and changing. Only that is presented so muddily, made even worse by her portrayal. I don`t get it. When I watch her act in this, it`s almost like she`s on the cusp of getting it, but is to afraid to put in more effort. The way her mother died also really cemented for me the level that this drama`s writers seem to be on. And I`m fully aware that sounded snobbish and underhanded but it still is true.
Which is made even more obvious when Yoon Eun-Hye makes a short cameo. Like, I`m not kidding when I say that this drama was my background noise and a chore to finish until I saw her for like ten minutes. She brought fresh air into this thing and I`m so sad that she`s not getting more roles.
Alas, that`s my personal preference. Cinematography is fine, like someone else mentioned, the wardrobe is REALLY questionable. Also, the sets got on my nerves really quick. I hate that I`m a stickler for these things, but I cannot stress enough how fake EACH SET LOOKED. It didn`t look perfect, it was downright jarring to look at. Even this is a really high score average for something this subpar.
I`m positive that this should`ve stayed in the vault, as I doubt that it`s anybody's personal taste at all.
