An endless circle of loops
People might wonder what I mean by endless circle of loops. What I mean is the unnecessary plots of the main girl and guy constantly refusing to become lovers for nonsensical reasons. This TV shows attempted to try to convey the audiences the complexity of the emotions from the main female character, Gang Hui, as to how her past shaped how she is now and her relationships with those from her home village. But contrary to the complexity that the production team is trying to create, what this all leads to is 8 episodes of illogical and unnecessary plots of Gang Hui refusing to date Yeon Su for no reason.
Let's talk about Gang Hui's motive when rejecting Yeon Su. I genuinely have no idea how dating Yeon Su has anything to do with the discrimination she received from the villagers. The story literally has no explanation or development as to how having a bad life inside the village equates to dating Yeon Su would be problematic. Someone better explain the logic behind her reasoning.
Then it's Gang Hui's actions. This girl literally has no shame at all. For the next few episodes after Gang Hui rejected Yeon Su, she kept stalking around Yeon Su as she heard rumors of him getting a fiance. Okay, first she rejected Yeon Su and now you start caring about him? The contradiction of her actions all the time leave me speechless.
Next up we have this several episodes of the two recurring rejecting each others for various "reasons". When one episode we have Yeon Su confessing, Gang Hui said nah we are just friends. Then on the next episode, we have Gang Hui making her feelings pretty clear but then Yeon Su was angry with what she did and refused to engage further. Then we have this episode of Gang Hui kissing Yeon Su and then on the edge of having sex, which then end up with Gang Hui claiming they are only friends. What the hell is going on in this woman's mind can somebody explain to me? The most ridiculous line comes soon after, with Gang Hui wanted to kiss Yeon Su and then asked him "Can we kiss someone as a friend?". Seriously, watching this until now has been miraculous because of how the writer of this TV show trying to add in countless unnecessary plots and lines to make sure the characters are not dating each others until perhaps episode 9 or 10? Maybe? Just so the story wont be running out too soon.
The chemistry between Yeon Su and Gang Hui is pretty poor aswell. Majority of the development of relationships happen in the flashbacks. For the current timeline, there barely has any meaningful, constructive, and nice interactions between the two that will make you think: damn they are a sweet couple. Most interactions that they had were just those rejections I mentioned above, and pretty emotionless conversations. I genuinely has no emotional attachments to these two at all.
The side characters are just cardboard. Have very minor role in the main story. Feels like they just exist for the sake of trying the make the TV show not seems too poor to pay for more actors.
Here comes the end of my review. Thanks for reading and I wish everyone a very nice day. But don't hate me tho for spitting out facts in this review.
