Let’s cut through the BS. The ratings may have crept into the double digits, but that’s only because mediocrity has become the accepted norm. Those who settle for less, who refuse to see beyond the surface, are the ones singing praises—conforming to the lowest common denominator. They cling to the illusion that this series is something special, when in truth, it’s just another mediocre flicker in a sea of forgettable stories.
This could have been a landmark—over 50 episodes of potential brilliance, a series that could have stood out as one of a kind. But instead, it’s fallen into the trap of complacency. The writer lost control early on, biting off more than they could chew, and what was left is a sprawling mess—drama drained of life, characters hollowed out by poor casting and worse execution.
The main leads? They dislike each other, her more than him, and it shows—yet the story drags on, hollow and desperate. The side characters? Dead weight, distractions that only serve to remind us how much this series has squandered its promise. The female lead? A terrible actress, pretending to be something she’s not, completely out of her depth—failing to elevate what should have been a compelling role.
This isn’t some poetic tragedy of love, loss and love again. It’s a reflection of reality—messy, flawed, and painfully mediocre. And the truth is, most viewers don’t want to see it. They prefer to stay comfortable in their ignorance, ignoring the cracks beneath the surface. They settle for what’s easy, what’s familiar, rather than demanding excellence.
No different than the world outside these walls—where mediocrity is applauded, and genuine talent is ignored. The series could have risen above, but it chose to conform, to settle, to accept its mediocrity. And so it remains—a failed opportunity, a cautionary tale of ambition wasted and potential lost.
Time to stop pretending this is anything more than what it is: a mediocre story, propped up by a false veneer of praise, while behind the curtain, the truth is stark and unforgiving.
