I have one episode to go and I just want to get it over with. I haven't read your review yet- I will come back to it once I finish QOT but just judging from your title- I completely agree. It has been so excessive with unnecessary scenes. I waited for it to end airing before watching it because I know people like to overhype a kdrama. But when I saw MDL rating (silly me) I thought it could be really good. From episode 1 I thought I should just wait because I wasn't hooked by the story. I wish I stuck to my instincts and dropped it. Anyway nearly there I want to finish because I started it. The acting was great though
I honestly like the acting (actors did a great job), the plot overall is a great idea but my goodness the amount of unnecessary scenes for the sake of comedy or just back story dragged out really made this drama long winded for me. I found myself fast-forwarding a lot of episodes because of this- and this is someone that is an avid drama watcher and hardly does that. I just finished episode 14 and I will finish the series but I don't think it was worth the hype. Maybe I expected more.
