I love that I hated it.
Oh boy, what a ride that was.
I will just start with the review without any story summary or context.
In the first 2 episodes, the ML is shown with a questionable personality; it almost made me drop it. I thought this ML was so pathetic and bad; why would I watch him for the next 10 hours or so? It took 4 tries to complete those 2 episodes.
But I did it anyway, and there was a reward for that at the end. It was the FL. She was the one who kept the story flowing and brought back ML from the dead (figuratively).
As the story progressed, it started to get better. I binged the last 4 episodes, not because they were that good but because I was so invested in them that I needed to know what comes later. Did I love them? No, but I was so interested that it got me hooked.
Now, coming to bad: As mentioned, the first few episodes were not bad in terms of story, as it's part of the setup and character intro, but they were so bad for me as an audience that I almost dropped it multiple times. Do I really wanna watch something I have to force down just to get to the good part at the end? The ML was never bad, but his character was broken from the start; we just weren't shown the whole picture, and it was revealed slowly. Similarly with the FL, the show started with weak characters; we all like to see characters going from weak to strong. Well, that did happen, but not till the last episode, where we didn't get much content to watch the changed characters. In the middle episodes, it was stagnant, and I felt like watching something so forgettable I wouldn't remember it at the end of the show, and that's what happened.
Last rant: I always struggled with the previous works of the screenplay writer 'Park Hae Young' like My Liberation Notes and My Mister. I went into this knowing I would struggle again, but I did anyway; that's on me. I get it, not everything is made to suit everyone's taste; that's why I am not unhappy to spend time on this, because at the end, after finishing it, I would say it's not a waste of time but not a must-watch either. The story is full of emotions, but it couldn't bring out any emotions from me, and that's why I rated it a little low. Overall, a good watch. That's it - A good watch. Not a masterpiece or must-watch. Just A good watch.
