The drama started on a strong note, and i really enjoyed the first few eps. However, as it progressed, especially in the middle, it began to feel unnecessarily stretched. By the final eps, i was honestly just waiting for it to end. This drama absolutely did not need 12 eps especially with 60-65 min runtimes, and one episode even running for 82 mins. Ideally, the story could have been wrapped up within 6-8 eps. The dragging added no real value.
If not for the forced misunderstanding created by the SFL, the story could have easily concluded by E6. The leads would have confessed by then and the conflict would already be resolved.
Although both leads were clearly in love, it took far too long for them to actually enter a relationship almost until E10. Multiple plotlines were running simultaneously: the alter ego personality, a love triangle involving the FL, ML and SML and yet another romantic angle from the SFL’s side. At times, it felt less like a triangle and more like a love pentagon.
While the production quality, acting, bgm and chemistry were all solid but overall viewing experience felt boring to me. I did like the Japanese SML, but his presence also seemed more like a tool to stretch the plot rather than serve a meaningful purpose. The SFL’s storyline felt equally unnecessary.
The FL’s traumatic childhood backstory, which explains the development of her alter ego, was another weak point. The alternate personality appeared and disappeared randomly, making it difficult to take seriously or feel convinced by it.
Overall, this was average at best for me.
