Joy who plays Tae Hea, lights up the screen with her smile
Screen play: 8/10 moral of story lacking
Drama Direction: 7/10 not balanced by a moral
Actors: 10/10
Characters: 10/10 well drawn
Entertainment value: 6/10 due to sociopathic behaviors
Soundtrack: 10/10
Art Direction: 10/10
Cinematography: 10/10
Series classification accuracy: doesn't classify as romance comedy. Watch at your own risk if tender hearted.
Comments: excellent acting by all, not just the leads. This is a high intensity drama with roles showing clear sociopathic personalities. 19 year olds with too much money, little responsibility or direction in life. Idleness is indeed the devil's playground. The Director could have adjusted the end storyline to show how (if at all) the main characters were molded into responsible adulthood. So the end was a real slash and burn with little satisfaction for 15 hours of high-level emotional trauma. In other words, an overload of emotional distress dismissed by 5 minute happy ending.
Final thoughts: the greatest consolation in this drama is Joy who plays Tae Hea so remarkably well. Her smile lights up the screen and brings transforming joy, beauty and peace into the darkness Shi Hyun's world.
