Every moment it cringed
The only reason I gave 5 instead of 1 is out of respect of the actors.I really was looking forward to this and had high expectations, I loved Goblin, Mr. Sunshine, Secret Garden, The Glory, A Gentleman's Dignity and I was expecting another masterpiece despite not liking Suzy.
Oh was I wrong. Disappointment wa great from episode 1.
While a good drama makes me eager to watch one more episode, for this one all I thought was : Please, no more.
The story was so badly written and boring, and many times the viewer is left wondering where exactly this wants to go .
I'm in shock the same writer of my favorite drama has written literally the worse drama I ever saw. And I saw many.
The comedy was utterly bad and cringe, one would think it was made to make toddler laugh. As result, the actors performance during comedy moments was extremely awkward and forced.
It would have been a lot better if the show had a dark, serious tone. I don't know what they were trying to create, maybe a Korean Odyssey style, but it clearly did not work.
The story was poor, the characters not developed, and you could hardly feel for them, let alone they way they fell in love in the past life ( did they? Not really much happened ) was completely rashed and anticlimactic .
The side stories felt superficial and not necessary, same as the side character, they had little to no relevance to the story and they were not developed as we are used to.
I loved every single character in Goblin and Mr. Sunshine for example here was not the case .
The "inclusive" best friend was totally awkward and out of contest, clearly put there just to please Netflix standards, and the interaction with the grand mother were uncomfortable and awkward. Seriously Wtf.
The actress of the Grandmother was a waste of talent here, same Steve Noh and Woon Bin .
I'm really sorry to say, but Suzy disappointed yet again.
No, it's not her character with no emotions, she's always like that, a robot.
More than a psychopath she seemed on sedatives and taking poses for a photoshot.
It was really hard to watch, to me she did not deliver even when she was supposed to have emotions.
The Ost was practically absent.
I really don't know what they were thinking when they wrote this drama but it certainly was a big disappointment.
