Very disappointing. The storyline felt dragged out and could have wound down episodes before the series ended. The lead actress registered little emotion beyond (IMO undeserved) anger toward her brothers or toward Kang Woo. Her one other emotion was surprise--but her face didn't move much either way. She seemed young but it left me wondering if she had cosmetic surgery including botox freezing her face. The secondary characters were more dynamic, much cuter, and interesting than the otp. I often felt like the brothers' stories were randomly tossed in mainly to run down the clock as needed...continuity was missing. The show felt all over the place and ended up somewhere I didn't need to bother to go.
I just finished epi 12 and am thinking--was that the end???!! It just ended like that...nothing? Is there a Season 2 expected because it totally left everything hanging.
I thought the concept was clever--a parallel of mother and son trying to decide between two potential mates. Jom's voice really irritated me throughout.
Just a sweet, minimal-aigoo series where you want to root for the characters, the romances. It made me wish their way of life, and how the town spirit caring for neighbors' welfare, would survive and not get crushed by urban sprawl.
I'm so turned off by the know-it-all, pushy arrogance of our lead, I don't know if I want to continue on. She's a brash-but-so-inexperienced, annoying brat, she needs her buttinsky kicked to the curb and forced to stay there!
This show felt like an endless teaser since the hosts reviewed products yet they only provided initials for the brands of each one. Unless you're familiar with all brands--and Korean ones in particular--how are viewers supposed to know what to purchase if the products reviews are positive and tempting? The show's angle seems to be to promote beauty products, so how they can reconcile not revealing any brand names to us is defeating their purpose. On another note, Mi Joo was so full of herself, it was ridiculous. The other hosts were entertaining and fun, but she was so over-the-top obviously convinced she's one of the more gorgeous women on the planet and so busy wildly flicking her hair around, it was distracting and offputting to me.
I love him but don't care for this actress at all, and I'm extremely disappointed in wanting to drop the series after one episode. I don't think she's either attractive or accomplished enough to make this drama shine. Her acting feels fake and forced. to me. I feel like Sun Hoon's management team doesn't make the best choices for him drama-wise though they're great at promoting him in advertising or fan events. I think they tend to underestimate his ability and so accept just any project and so fail to show off and support his ability?
The panel here should take some lessons from the Terrace House moderators and really let them have it when there's a reason. Like Moa's two-faced friendships--and how she never spoke up and admitted that she was the one who bitched about the van being parked far away and letting her so-called best buddy take the blame... Why any male would knowingly subject himself to a proven explosive, violent, out-of-control significant other is beyond me. This woman may make for interesting reality show drama, but she seriously needs anger-management therapy! It was so interesting to visit countries I barely knew existed...
This show feels like Terrace House on wheels but with one, angry, confrontational regular passenger onboard (kind of like how Seine returns to TH to stir things up--LOL
