Familiar story but production is low budget and poor excecution

This drama has potential at first but the execution is not up to par. The main couple didn't have star power and chemistry.
Closer to the end, their acting are both pretty bad. The lack of chemistry is what sunk this drama.
It's ok to watch as a filler while waiting for other dramas.
The best thing about it is the theme song but it was borrowed from another movie.

Below was my impression of the first 13 episodes:

This drama resembled Embrace In The Dark Night but is much lower quality.

The drama feels low budget but surprisingly easy to watch. The episodes are short and we should be done within 2 weeks so not much commitment.

If you like this kind of stories then you'll like it regardless. The story will always be the same, just like "old wine in a new bottle ".

I'm about halfway done and is still interested in it so that's good. The actors are doing an ok job but the production felt so low budget and the story is so shaky at times. Still, I noticed ML always managed to show up with a perfectly ironed shirt.

Because it's a low budget dramas, we can't use the same standard to judge. It's about the feeling you felt while watching. You have to overlook many details and just believe in the story.

The 2nd arc of the story will surprised you a little. It'll give you something to think about. The problem is if you've seen stories like this before, it's not hard to guess.
