The Camellia that could've been an easy 10!
It deserves the 8/10, BUT the crime story was dragged and wasn't really well-written, it was all over the place. I also really disliked every scene with Gyu Tae and the ex with his wife, it's sad because I love both Oh Jung Se and Yeom Hye Ran. The best character development of the show is 100% Hyang Mi. Son Dam Bi was so good in this role. At first she made me dislike her character, then it was a complete 180.
The 2 main leads were cute and fun together, I didn't feel it was cringe for a minute, even tho sometimes it was a childish romance, and the rest of the cast is likable as well, but this drama could've been a 10/10 without this serial killer or at least a better-written crime story. The whole family drama and love story could've carried the show alone, to be honest.
Im Sang Choon really shines as a writer when she writes character dramas, not crime stories.
The OST and directing were also great!
This is a must-watch if you can ignore the dragged-out crime story, because it's a heartwarming love story about family and romantic love as well.
