I stopped 80% through episode 1 to write this.
One of the most unbearable kdrama's ever, and I'm only almost just done with episode 1. It's not serious, it's not humorous, it's not anything. It's annoying, and the only saving grace is Song Joong Ki and his handsome face—which is the only reason I survived up till this point.
And for the people who are saying "Give it a watch till episode 3/4..." and "Push through and it will eventually get interesting". You are just a complete idiot, and you're probably not very bright. A good show should not require me to wait till the 3rd or 4th episode (literally having to watch over ~4 hours since each episode is over an hour) for it to get good/interesting. If the first episode (ok fine, for leniency let's give it until episode 2) is NOT enough to keep the viewer invested, it has failed and is a bad show. Period.
I was so excited and looking forward to watching it because of the very high ratings, but I've been ferociously fighting the demons in my head that are telling me to turn it off and get out. And judging by the other comments here and on Reddit, it's very clear that I'm not the only one who feels this way.
