S Q

Though im only halfway through this, i gotta say this drama had a tremendous potential which was sadly wasted. Most previous reviewers pointed out its flaws, and they are right. My major objection is to the way the pairs were made. Im sure that, if the leads had just exchanged partners, we'd have got a totally interesting story. The FL and the SML obviously formed a bond at the first meeting, and their disturbed relationship had a lot of potential. Also, the ML falling for the SFL - who courted him so sincerely during the first episodes - would help him solve his love vs money dilemma. Despite ppl saying that the SFL is so cute and sweet, i totally think she is plain as a character. I would've rather embraced a love triangle where the male leads fight for the same women, since they seem to be in constant competition anyway... The villain brother is also more engaging as a character. But alas! We get what we get. The director must've been very determined to give us rich/poor couples, instead of considering their personalities.
Also, if the 1st couple is said to have little chemistry, id rather blame the stiff ML - i noticed this in his other dramas. While the charming Hyung Sik never fails to impress, adding a nice depth to his character.
Still we get good-looking actors, nice clothes, nice places... Watchable when nothing else comes in handy.
