Not Much You Can Do With A Bad Script

Sooooooo this was a failure in the writing. I honestly feel bad for the actors. What’s going on with kdrama writers these days? This could have been a stellar (hehehe) drama. They had an amazing cast, the plot was interesting, and a whopping budget. Testament that if the writing ain’t it, not much can save the story.

This is just a little sad and frustrating since it’s been a while that Lee Min Ho did a drama. I was really looking forward to it. This was a new role that I hadn’t seen him in previously and I reveled in that. The first few episodes weren’t bad then it just fell apart as the series went on. Suspension of belief is a thing buuuut I feel like they were asking too much in this case.

Also, I would just like to add Ryong broke his engagement off with his fiancé before he slept with the captain. Now, I will fault him for having a crush on her and telling her he had a crush on her before he broke it off (he was drunk). However, he was no longer with the fiancé when romance started. Also, if anyone was paying attention, he never really loved the fiancé and she forced a lot of the relationship on him. He agreed to it, true, but his life was basically ruined thanks to her father.
