Would have been a good thriller…

I love Yoo Yeon Seok, but this drama was just not it. It started really promising with this great thriller/suspense vibe and at first I quite enjoyed it. Unfortunately after only an episode and a half, the whole drama suddenly turned to a Wattpad cheesy awkward romance with zero logic. The story was so random, so crazy and so unbelievably stupid that I felt second hand embarrassment watching. And mind you, I didn’t even know about the whole drama surrounding this show, because I am not really on the internet all the time (And honestly, I guess I missed the controversial part, because I skipped through lots of boring dialogues and scenes lol).
On the other hand, the acting was great. Both leads are amazingly talented and have been in the industry for a long time. They did their best giving life to these boring, stupid and one dimensional characters. I would love to see them working together again, because their chemistry was on fire in this drama. Honestly, this was the only good thing about this show.
