I have yet to see a LJS drama where I can sense any real chemistry. His kiss scenes, imo, seem sterile and flat. I dropped this drama about 2/3rds of the way through for this reason. I just wasn't feeling it.
However, the series itself is lush, clean and colorful. The plot is very good, and I didn't find any fault with the pacing. I may rewatch it someday.
I won't watch dramas with sad endings, but this show is my only exception to that rule. The end is so poetic that it almost doesn't make me sad. If it had a happier ending, I would have given it 10/10. In Shopping King Louie, Seo In Guk is so adorable and sweet, and here you get a completely other side to his acting range. His performance is intense, smoldering, and complex. I was blown away by his acting talent. The other actors compliment his performance well.
If this dramas were food, this one is expensive dark chocolate.
I was watching SA1%, and ended up dropping it for a while because Kim Hyung Min is so ridiculously much hotter than Ha Seok Jin that I just couldn't even get over it. It boggles my mind why he hasn't played a romantic lead yet. One of the most handsome actors in Kdrama, hands down.
