50% Infuriating 50% Good
Cast ... They were very good.
Characters ... Most were good.
Quality/sound etc. ... Overall, good.
Storyline ... Heartbreaking.
I got so angry watching this. It may be a personal issue as my own experience, my empathy/emotions, overtook my ability to enjoy the first half of this show. The FL and her families' reactions and the way they delt with the situation felt all too real.
The FL. I thought she was fantastic. I believed her character and empathized with her. I was impressed by how strong she was. I would not be as strong and resolute, but her character was believable. The numbness and utter despair were heartbreaking to watch. I was impressed by her mental aptitude.
The ML. Infuriating. He was written as an intelligent, diligent and focused character, yet he was nonsensical. He and his family were unashamed, irresponsibly absentminded, and selfish. I wonder if my personal preference was what made me finish this show. I enjoyed him visually and found his chemistry with the FL intriguing. That was very shallow, and I am upset (with myself) that was what made me continue to watch. I did find his personal story heartbreaking, so I felt some empathy towards him, but it was sadly overshadowed.
The other characters were written well. I liked their realistic, not overly dramatic way of dealing with certain situations. Some side stories and characters seemed unnecessary.
If the writer wanted me to feel anger and hatred, that was successful, but I think they pushed it too far and for too long. It was almost irredeemable and as I said, my female brain overtook my judgment.
But, overall, I enjoyed the ending and felt satisfied.
