There is a lot of disconnect in the writing.
Watching buried hearts especially in the first half I really really enjoyed it. I would say around episode 9 the story started to fall flat. Everything the plot had been setting up was exciting intense but didn't fully feel unrealistic.
SPOILERS:
I think my biggest point of contention was how Huh Ildo got a redemption arc. I can't stress enough how frustrated I was when Dongju all of a sudden was chill because he was his father. I know there are emotionally conflicting feelings when someone who tried to literally kill you find out is your dad however, please they did not have a deep enough relationship in the quick few weeks to have changed that. I understand looking out for Taeyun they already had a strong bond hell he literally told Taeyun about Eunnam. Writing it as if Dongju was doing it for Ildo is frustrating and doesn't make sense. Why did they try to make Jungnan all of a sudden good? Like she is a selfish character she is solely looking out for herself and kind of her kids she doesn't need to be good I understand her motives but I am not going to empathize with her.
Eunnam, girl. I think for me it was really hard to understand her actions. She was so flip floppy but showed no fear of commitment so her flip floppiness made no sense to me. I understand her wanting to have a stake in the company but why didn't you give a chance to let Dongju figure it out the grandfather literally sent him to marry you. That felt so stupid to me and what was the point of her asking to not use a condom? Like I thought that something would come of that. Was it just to show that she fully trusted him? I don't think it makes logical sense for them to get back together especially after he got shot there was no romance between them and that is OK!!!! I just like every Kdrama girly wants to see Hyungsik in a romance he's amazing at them buttt this didn't need it and felt disingenuous at the end.
Seo Dongju, his character confused me and there didn't seem like the writing did him justice. I kept getting whiplash from his character the most because there was very little consistency. If he was more relaxed every time he was with his little trio that helped him that would make sense but every scene with them was different and didn't feel true to the previous scenes. I think we needed to see him more relaxed like he was in the beginning with Eunnam with at least one of the characters. While I think Hyungsik did a great job with the more emotional scenes and serious scenes there was a disconnect for me where it felt like he was playing multiple different characters rather than just one.
I hate how they ended this series clearly they are looking to make a season two but with how they went about the last half of the series there is no reason for me to tune in. I have more to say but I think this is a good enough review for the moment.
