Let's be honest. This is a vertical. No one is expecting a top tier drama. The plot is straight out of a Chinese vertical drama, except it's Korean. However, this drama fails at capturing the essence of verticals. Just because it has a trashy makjang plot and is filmed vertically doesn't mean you've got things figured out. Good verticals are great at taking a long plot and compacting it into 1-2 hours with key plot points and straight to the point dialogue. This did not do any of that. How the heck do you film a vertical and actually make it draggy? One scene lasted for over 30 minutes and was basically chopped into 1-2 minute episodes. It was even repetitive within the same scene. It got really dumb and illogical at one point. FL puts a ring on ML and *poof* suddenly they're married without any paperwork.

I will give credit where it is due. The acting was decent. It doesn't have an A list cast, but it still has an experienced one with some notable actors. It's a shame they were cast in this mess. Whoever funded this project must've wanted to use it as a flagship drama to promote their vertical streaming service. However, they failed to realize what makes verticals enticing and addicting in the first place. What a pity and waste of talent.
