Had to drop it. Felt the acting was too forced.
I went into really excited because I like both of the lead actors and their past projects. I honestly thought this was going to be one of those easy binge watches for me. But after giving it a fair chance, I ended up dropping it before finishing all 40 episodes.
To be clear, I don’t think the acting itself was bad. The problem is more with the story, pacing, and overall direction. A lot of scenes felt overly structured, and the flow didn’t come across as natural. Because of that, even moments that were supposed to feel emotional ended up feeling forced.
The biggest disappointment for me was the chemistry between the leads. Not because they’re bad actors, but because the way the story was written didn’t really allow their relationship to develop in a way that felt organic. It ended up feeling like a mismatch on screen, even though I know both actors are capable.
The first half of the drama, especially the first 20 episodes, focused heavily on the AI and medical industry. I understand what they were trying to do, and I can appreciate the effort to add depth, but it felt like too much. I found myself watching more for the industry storyline than the romance, which wasn’t what I came for. Personally, I would have preferred more focus on character development and the relationship itself.
On top of that, the drama felt overcrowded with side characters and multiple couples. There was just too much going on, and instead of adding layers, it made the story feel dragged and unfocused. I even lost track of how many storylines were happening at once.
Overall, this drama had a lot of potential, especially with its cast, but the execution didn’t quite land for me. I came in expecting a strong, natural romance, but the uneven pacing and lack of focus made it hard to stay invested.
