It's okay... I guess...
It's as shallow as a toddler's swimming pool and as patched together as an old ragdoll.
We have a totally predictable plot, which could have been an easy-to-watch, sweet, pink drama to relax with after a long day. But the screenwriter decided to add some blood and violence. Unfortunately, it was far from well done, since there was nothing particularly impressive about the action scenes, and we already knew who the bad guy was and pretty much what was going to happen.
So it's not really a sweet and idealistic drama, but it's not cool enough to be one of those dramas where badbutt characters fight against some greater evil, either. The attempt to add more comedy wasn't a particularly good one, neither. Then they added yet another plotline about the ML going back to who and where he used to be, while the FL is obviously set up to become this awesome girl who is worth falling in love with.
Well, none of that was particularly deep or touching. Especially after being told what an unpleasant person she had been before the amnesia, she keeps crying and repeating, "How could I have acted like this?" The thing is, she was still acting superficial, disrespectful, and annoying shortly before this conversation. If you think behaving that way is wrong, then why were you acting like that in the first place?
And in general, I couldn't force myself to like her or even feel the tiniest bit of sympathy for her character, even after watching half of the drama.
So, we have several different topics patched together, and none of them is developed well enough. The main characters are simple and flat. It was actually supposed to be a sweet storyline about their love, their previous encounters, and their reunion, but the production team didn't even manage to create enough chemistry or romance between them.
The first few episodes caught my attention, but later I kept wondering: why is this 12 episodes long when it could have been eight or even six? And why am I still watching?
The answer is: to be honest, it got boring. I liked Jung Hae In in other series, and I liked the setting, clothes, camera work, etc. Mostly, though, I just didn't want to bother searching for something new.
