The ending was so so. I wasn’t really invested in their romance so that’s not the reason why I disliked it. I knew Lim So Ho would die at the end, that was quite predictable and that was fine by me.
I would have liked the ending more : - if YR died as well - if they showed Cheong Ya helping So Ho’s sister and the others escape from the north or a scene with all of them in some other country (already escaped) and living comfortably.
The first episodes were quite nice but then it got really boring and the last episode was good if the ending wouldn’t have been so flat. I usually always cry if the main character is dying or if there’s some tragic love story but this didn’t make me shed a tear. I didn’t feel sad.
It was a nice drama to watch but nothing that will be remembered, not on the list of the dramas that I recommend to others.
“ Young Ro, our FL’s characterisation remains hotly debated amongst viewers, as on one hand, she is annoyingly utilised mostly as a plot device for Soo Ho’s more interesting and well developed arc, and she's also quite the emotional punching bag when she cries for the umpteenth time following numerous tragic event after tragic event.”
YES !!
“ Jisoo, was relatively serviceable in her role as Young Ro, considering this is her rookie debut. Not going to lie, she was inconsistent early on and I did cringe at times ”
YES ME TOO
“I still wished she had been able to showcase a much wider range of emotion”
YES WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO SEE STH ELSE THAN WHINING 😂😅😅
“ crying performances over and over again. (Though I think most people, myself included did get very weary of the amount of tears she shed... lol).”
YES I NOTICED IT TOO, SOMETIMES SHE’D CRY A LOT BUT THERE WERE NO TEARS AS SOON AS SHE SWITCHED HER FACIAL EXPRESSION 😭😂
I’m not typecasting Park Min Young as I have seen her in Healer and City Hunter and I liked her in both. I didn’t finish Queen for 7 days because I didn’t enjoy it but I had no issue with PMY’s acting in Queen for 7 Days. I couldn’t keep watching it for some other reason. Also, I have watched SK in Love Alarm and Nevertheless but I am not interested by Navillera as a drama so I don’t feel like forcing myself to watch it just because it may change my mind about SK’s acting. Instead I’m gonna wait for this new drama and decide whether or not I like his acting.
TBH I cannot watch a drama if the main leads are not visually attractive or OK. If I find them ugly the plot needs to be extremely good for me to watch it. Idk, I’m not proud of it but that’s how I work. AND. When I first saw him in Love Alarm, I thought wow he’s so handsome. But then, his acting wasn’t amazing. And when I saw him In Nevertheless, it was all the same in every single episode. Idk if it’s his acting that’s so bad or the directing but all he did was smile and that’s it. And now I’m looking at the pictures of this new drama and I’m not a big fan of PMY but I really liked her recent dramas (what’s wrong with secretary Kim, and the one about her being a fan). And then I see the pictures of Song Kang (supposedly scenes of the drama) and it’s still him just SMILING. I feel like he’s gonna be the same as in Nevertheless and if that’s the case then I’ll know for sure if he’s a bad actor or if he was just in the wrong drama. However, no matter how I disliked some of PMY’s dramas, the two wrote above were really good and I really liked her acting. It felt like these roles fit her more. So I hope this new role fits SK and that he surprises us with good acting. I still have hope. We’ll see soon :)
