With an all-star cast, I guess I expected more from this movie. Lee Byung-hun was my favorite. He created a very interesting character Dong Seok. However, I do not feel the chemistry with him and Seon A. I don't feel she has feelings for him or treats him like she loves him. She's also not very good at playing a depressed person. Her depression failed to make the viewers understand depression and sympathize with her. She described it as "feeling like a wet cold blanket on you and that everything is dark." That's not enough to elicit any understanding about depression.
Dong-Seok's mother didn't treated him well, offered no apologies or love to her son even towards the end.
Overall, I'm not happy with the various storylines. It isn't interesting enough. I do like the Captain and the Hanayeo story and the 2 teenage kids story. I feel that if the writers wanted to write about the different blues we have in our lives then perhaps there are other more interesting topics. But that's just me.
I didn't get any thought provoking takeaways after finishing the drama. I do love Dong Seok's advertising "frying pans frying pans, tofu, tofu, cabbage, cabbage, etc." LOL
