Strong leads, Great Chemistry
I was really excited to watch this drama ever since I heard Kim Seon Ho and Go Youn Jung were in it, and it honestly didn’t disappoint. Their chemistry was great and had me very excited from the first episode. The setting and shots of the foreign countries was also really beautiful, and made the drama have a different feel from others.
That said, I was pretty surprised by the direction the story took. I didn’t expect it to focus so much on another aspect instead of the interpreter and actress storyline, which was what I was most excited for. It kind of felt like two genres fighting each other, and I did lose interest a bit in the middle. I would say I enjoyed the first half of the series more than the later ones. The “will they, won’t they” part dragged on slighty longer than I liked, and got a little frustrating. I think I probably would’ve enjoyed it more if they had just focused on one main aspect.
While I was watching, I also felt that some of the cuts and transitions weren’t very clear. At times it felt a bit messy, jumping back and forth, and I wished it was clearer when things were happening, like if it was in the past, present, or months later.
Overall though, it was still a good watch. I really enjoyed the chemistry and the story as a whole. Kim Seon Ho and Go Youn Jung definitely carried the drama and made it shine in their own ways, especially when they were together. It’s a nice, slightly light-hearted drama to binge over the weekend if you’re into that like me!
