What in the "obsessive toxic annoying exes" went on in this drama? I was just so frustrated watching them. Like, who gave the both of you such audacity? The drama was comedic until it wasn't when Jae Hyuk's mental illness was brought up. Only then did I start feeling bad for him and hoping he'd get cured, move on and be happy. As for the other lady, no words. She was just a total bitch. I didn't really care for Ah Young and Keanu's romance. Very unnecessary stuff. I just kept skipping everything they were in together. All in all, this was a really good drama.
Not the main characters at least. The parents of the kidnapped kid die in the first episode and that's what leads to the investigations in the drama. Another doctor who's a colleague of the kid's dad was also killed at some point during the investigation.
I'm really glad I watched this drama despite the negative comments and reviews I saw on it. I'm not quite sure that I like the fact that I liked this drama a lot though cos at the end of the day, it's just a romanticized cheating story. Their love story from the past was so sad though. I think that's what made me wish them well despite the ethical issue. But then, what about the kids caught up in all the drama?
EDIT: I just realized this is the second drama of Lee Bo-Young's that I've had an ethical issue with. The other was I CAN HEAR YOUR VOICE. I get that people loved this too. I did enjoy the story except the part of dating a high school kid.
The funny thing is I'm watching this cos of your review 😂. I couldn't watch One Spring Night. I dropped it after 2 episodes. I know you loved it so I'm not trying to bash your taste or anything. People have hated dramas I loved as well. But I might just love this one since it's a different take on the original. Wish me luck. I still have a lot on my to-watch list already. So whenever and if I end up watching this I'll come back and tell you whether I loved it or not.
To be honest, I'd recommend Season 2 over season 1 to anyone. I did enjoy both. Yeah, my opinion kinda differs from that of the ones who said season 1 was boring. It's a very dark theme so I get why it wasn't a pleasant watch for anyone. I couldn't binge season 1 cos after each episode, I'd take a break to heal from it before going ahead. However, season 2 went a different route entirely - fraud as opposed to trying to be a god over people which was basically what happened in season 1. Season 2 is much more watchable and more relatable if you would. Uhm.... I don't know what else to say. So yeah, try season 2. You absolutely don't need to see 1 to understand 2.
Guess who I hated the most? It wasn't the king. It wasn't his evil secretary or even Lady Jang. It was Chae Kyung's father. That man was the absolute worst. I couldn't even understand what he was playing at. Being a good and loyal subject? What kind of blind loyalty is that? Dude, either you choose to be a tyrant just like your king and stop pretending to be good, or you call a spade a spade and face the fact that your king turned into a maniac. What the hell? And at the expense of your own daughter's life?
