Romance Could Be better, minimal skinship
I love this drama, deeply. It was a really captivating premise done really well. The constant obstacles and conflicts kept me watching. The plot never once felt lackluster or forced. Twists and decade old revelations were well timed and beautifully executed. Im a sucker for misconceptions between mcs and this drama gave us that and more. Nan-do is a little too sulky and martyr for there to be much development in the first half, which makes this a slow-burn through and through. The acting was amazing. I felt that Holo and Nan-do were 2 completely different characters. Sadly, I have to give props to President ¿Beak?. He really blew me out of the water.Now for improvements:
I wish this drama had more romance in it. Yes the couple does get together, but between the crazy plot and fleshing out main and side characters alike. We hardly ever see any real development in the emotions of Nan-do. He just kind of decides rather abruptly that he's in love with Seo-yoen. Despite their minimal interaction and everything else he knows about her has been acquired through Holo. When the development does start to become on screen he pretends to be Holo. Which just kind of leads to the ending of her being told by everyone but him about their interactions. Her confessions ends up feeling like something she was supposed to say rather than truly felt in the moment. I think the reason for that is this drama was missing a really good groveling arc for Nan-do. He needed to make up for the lies and betrayal, but instead he just lets her be mad at him. Like edward cullen believeing he dont deserve to be happy. That part pissed me off so bad. When they finally get together there isnt really a sense of finally, it just kind of is and they continue the plot because I kid you not they throw twists at you until the last 30 minutes. It is a rollercoaster. Fun, but the whiplash be giving me a head ache.
Also there were a total of 2 kisses throughtout the entire story.
Overall, it was a fantastic thrilling scifi drama. The romance simply felt like something the producers were trying to tick of the to do list rather than build into the plot. 7/10. Not enough romance for me to watch again, but I do recommend.
