the story wasn’t truly about the mean lead
This started out heavy.
But the premise was good so I held on to it.
But as it progressed it got dumb.
15 years of being stuck in an island with noone who tried looking for her aside from the male lead who masked his search in a different tactic.
15 years of a family pretending to be a family they’re not to escape an abusive father and husband. When they could’ve easily reported him especially during the present time. When he was more active in harrassing them again.
Then there’s the issue with the past super star, her company shares, her lack of singing capability, her ex prodigee and more… To be honest, the series seemed to focus more on her story than the journey of the main character… So there’s that.
The drama was tackling too many things at once that the story of the actual main lead was not really present. It was just her being caught in the middle of two different group of people and their issues.
Nowhere in the drama did we give her any closure on the abuse she suffered during childhood and the isolation she experienced for 15 years. I mean these issues alone should have been addressed. Especially here getting back to civilization wherein she could have easily been scammed.
Honestly, I think they could have made this into an 8 or 10 episode drama. 10 is even extending it. But yeah, this was a clear miss for me.
