아깝다
Honestly, I don’t even know what the exact problem is. I’ve watched seven episodes, but I haven't felt happy, romantic, or sad once. Watching it feels like a chore. In the beginning, I only tuned in because of Ahn Hyo-seop and Kim Bum, hoping that things would turn around and it would become enjoyable. But nothing changed. I just realized I’ve been constantly forcing myself, saying, 'Keep watching, it’ll get better, it has to be good...' But nope.
I’ve honestly started questioning why these actors accepted this script in the first place—especially Kim Bum. Bro, you are the Kim Bum. You are a cornerstone of the K-drama industry. You basically helped start the global K-drama wave, and an entire generation grew up watching you. How could you choose this role? What was the goal here?
Also, why is your character so head-over-heels for the female lead? She drew boundaries so quickly, and we barely see enough of their backstory to justify him liking her that much.
As for the female lead, it feels like she’s just reading lines off a page—zero emotion, zero feeling. I can’t feel any chemistry or love. Her character arc feels like: she burns out, leaves her broadcasting channel, and goes, 'Oh, look, a guy. Let me just fall for him since I have some free time now.' The actress has potential, so I really hope she improves.
The logistics don't make sense either. Mathieu lives in a village while she lives in the city, which is a two-hour drive away. She is portrayed as an incredibly busy workaholic who lives for her job, so there's no way her character would casually make that two-hour commute all the time.
At this point, I have zero interest. I don't even care what happens to the young girl in the mask—honestly, it's so predictable that I already know. It's the most cliché K-drama trope: they’ll fight, they'll feel responsible for the girl, she'll sleepwalk, and he'll find her. Cue the cliché couple moments. Nothing interesting. Even the shopping scenes are a total bore.
I give 1 point for music because of the one … I can’t describe this thing, I don’t want to use bad words.
