my review in spoiler comment or on my profile: 1* no discussion - IM STILL FUMING https://kisskh.at/profile/13240546/reviews/441450
Show was OK but the Grandma redemption arch killed it for me
So my rating is based on one thing only, and that is the Grandmother of the ML. They gave her redemption arch in the last episode. After her whole life of hatred and one sentence from the secretary poof we´re good now.
NO! NO! and NO!!!!!
this person abused the ML since he was a child. A CHILD!!!! of what 8-9 years??? she constantly reminded him that he is NOTHING. That he has no right to mourn or miss his parents! When he behaved as a normal 15yr old (went to meet the FL) she BURNED all his stuff that he had left of his parents!!!!!
That is abuse of unredeemable level.
And the secretary said that he endured it because he wanted her aknowledgement. WTF!!!! maybe when he was older but at the young age im sure he endure it because he had nowhere to go, noone to talk to.
The show was MID at best for me, I was expecting something different, but that´s me problem, not the show problem (I would propaby give it 7/10).
I loved the ML, he was such a cutie. I was MEH on the FL.
Most I loved the second ML. Open and straightforward manly man. And props to the atress that played the grandma because man, she made me hate her.
That said, NOTHING can exuse this part of the story. There is toxic behavior and then there is this. She did not need a redemption arch, nor she deserved one.
I would not accept any kind of arc for her, automatically 1* from me. What she did was not excusable at all :-( It was kinda let down for me in general (I have to collect my thoughs before writing writing review, as im working on "The Witch" now) but i wasnt engaged last 4-6 episodes, IDK i would give it 7ish had it be good ending but NO
-_- of course the grandmother faces no repercussions for tormenting her grandson all this time, just an instant…
yeah. her behavior can´t even be seen as toxic as it is way way beyond that! I said i will give it a 1* if they will give her an arc and I will. I will write short review when I will stop fuming. Im soooo pissed of
SO Grandma rant incoming again and im not even spoiler hide it. So Im a girl of my word so this will be 1* star for me. The show was OK, nothing bad but nothing special either, but Grandma redemption arch? NO NO And NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She ABUSED HIM since he was a CHILD!!!!!!!!!! CONSTANTLY. there is toxic and then there is this.
i suspected the dad story would end this way. It kind of makes sense instead of being locked up somewhere :-( ALSO SPECULATING TIME. It would be cool if somehow Hae Seong´s father found the gold, hid it but did not manage to report it. that would be nice :-)
Grandma spoiler-ish (for those who are not caught up) rant incomming in 3, 2, 1 .... in comments
so am I imaging it or do I see redemption arc for the gramndma coming. I woould be pissed if she has one because she does not deserve one. Its not like onece she told him harsh words and thanks to missunderstanding they can ot understand each other. She abused him to unimaginable depths since he was a what 8-9 years old???. She kept reminding him his parents death was his fault, that he is nothing, that he has no right to mour them or miss them. When he tried to be himself she burned all his stuff he had left of his parents and childhood. THAT IS INEXCUSABLE!!!! Seriously if gets redemption arc, Im gonna give it 1*
for anyone that did not watch and considering not watching because of comments. Don`t do that. Give it a try and make your own opinion. Some ppl like it some dont. I loved it. See some points what you should consider before watching.you may like it, you may not. Tastes varies for different ppl. Im still deciding on Buried hearts and art of neogotiation but im forming my own opinion.
- It has very slow pacing, every detail is revealed when its time. - Some points are shown more times from different perspectives (so some scenes are repeated, so they are similar, yet different). - It is completely different from any other drama I`ve seen so far but worth the watch, if you don`t mind points I mentioned above. It goes straight to my top 10. 10/10 - it is not romance heavy in a way casual dramas are
