Oh no, you aren’t alone. Some of the choices in this drama’s second half just seemed sloppy to me.
The screenwriter was changed from Oh Sang Ho to another after the first 10 episodes. I've wondered how dif the last 6 episodes and more specifically the last episode would've been IF the original writer hadn't left due to the difference in opinions on the plot direction between him and the directing staff. Maybe if he's able to actually finish the entire season 2 we'll have a clue.
His family, friends, and anyone else who were involved in Na Chul's life have been in my prayers the last few days. May God give them the comfort of his memories to ease their pain. He'll truly be missed by so many including his fans. He lit up the screen in every role he was cast and there was a notable presense surrounding him.
Worth noting that screenwriter Oh Sang Ho wrote the first 10 episodes and bowed out when there was a difference in opinion over the remainder of the plot.
Watched the first 2 episodes and jumped to episode 8 to finish what is essentially one of the worst dramas. I loved the cast in other dramas and movies, but here, even they were made to look unprofessional due to the lack of direction and the extremely poor writing. After this waste of time, and based on her prior works, I've added this writer to my list to never watch.
SMH. LOL. I hear that once in a while from novices. Hopefully it won't take you long to differentiate between the males, and the females. Then again, there are people who think all people from another ethnic group look alike. The 2 MLs look nothing alike. You could concentrate on each one's features during their scenes and it might help you begin to see them as entirely different.
Sadly, this is nothing but torture porn, and people are eating it up. Reviewers are basing their 10 Stars on anything BUT the writing, etc. And again sadly, I agree the rating system here and on the streaming site where reviews are accepted tend to be derailed by all the 10 Stars. I started reading the lowest scores first several yrs ago, specifically bc they're more objective in nature. Thank you for your HONEST review.
Do you mean Ye Soo Jung https://kisskh.at/people/3036-ye-soo-jungCast list is not accurate, they also have…
Yes. MDL asks for confirmation via a link to submit a change or an add to the cast list, but since she's not listed anywhere on the internet it's a conundrum. I haven't finished it yet as I got hooked on others, but will let you know IF I see Yoo Jae Myung anywhere (episode).
I don't know what in the world happened to her writing after 2016 with Shopping King Louis, but she's certainly been influenced enough to not be able to produce anything worthwhile. Terius Behind Me and Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol proved why I've placed her on my list of writers to avoid.
Then I assume you haven't watched Secret by the same writer, and I hear (only b/c I refuse to watch Mask after…
LOL. After several years into watching kdramas & movies, and calling myself a well seasoned drama lover, I'm at the point where instead of devouring everything regardless of the writer, cast,etc I pick and choose and refuse to watch something I know will cause my health to decline. Secret almost made me blow an artery. As much as I like members of the cast in any drama or movie, their presence doesn't necessarily overcome the harm to my mental state. I've begun blacklisting writers. Choi Ho Chul has been added to my list. And IF I absolutely want to keep up to date with the comments & reviews to know what all the fuss is about I'll read the episode recaps on another of our famous sites.
I really want to finish this Drama but OMG! This has the stupidest FL in all of the Kdramas i've watched!
Then I assume you haven't watched Secret by the same writer, and I hear (only b/c I refuse to watch Mask after watching Secret) they're dramas almost exactly alike. Secret is one of the worst dramas I've ever encountered.
