Adramamama

I had been on a C-Drama kick when I was starting to feel burnt out from 30+ episodes per show. So I came back to the much more schedule friendly K-dramas. First: I hadn't noticed it before, but after so much time away from them, I realized that a ton of Korean dramas seem obsessed with death themes (i.e. 2nd chance, ghosts, angels, serious trauma over dead loved ones, etc.) This drama was definitely filled with it. I guess they made it work, but it's kind of overbearing. The characters and relationships had such great potential, but they were overshadowed.
I enjoyed the first 11 episodes and spent the rest of them (except the finale) in self inflicted pain with every torturous scene. The FL starts great and the ML nails it, but then everything takes a turn for the worse. They manage to put a bow on this mutilated package in episode 16, leaving me with a sense of closure. But it honestly wasn't worth the frustration.
Since I really had love for this drama in the first half, I feel super conflicted over the rating. I would have given the first 10 episodes at least 9.5, but the last several have to drag it down a minimum of 2 points. It doesn't feel right giving it a 6 or lower because the episodes that I liked were fun while they lasted and Lee Min Ki is such a fox, so 7.5
