Repetitive music and contrived drama
Every single drama I've seen that's been directed by this man has garbage contrived drama at the end. Is it that hard to write something that's not so contrived? Maybe it's just a cultural difference, but I just couldn't be bothered to care about the drama. The subject itself is very culturally Korean so I took that into account, but this was just annoying.This director also needs to listen to a lot more music. The repetitive songs got on my nerves here like in all his other kdramas. Just change it up man. Or just don't use music at all. I'd rather have silence over the same song in every scene.
On the flip side, I did like the romance until the nonsense drama started. I thought they were cute together and had chemistry. Sadly, there just wasn't enough of that to improve this drama for me. Disappointing.

Wasted potential
This was such a frustrating drama. The first half I was interested and invested and then we completely switch focus to some randoms that we've never met before. I care about the other characters, I don't care about these people. I am baffled by that second half, such a waste of time.I loved one of the couples and I wanted to see so much more of them. I can't believe they wasted their chemistry in favour of the new characters. The other couple was okay, but I was nowhere near as interested in them as in the other one.
I loved the setting. I was unfamiliar with Macau prior to watching this. Other than knowing of its existence, I knew nothing and now I know a lot more and it's a place I would love to visit so the drama did promote Macau well.
Overall, this was a disappointment. I really liked the first half and while I did enjoy the ending, the rest of the second half was a huge disappointment.
