Worth watching or not ? My honest opinion.

I actually wanted to watch "Manhole" solely because of Jaejoong. But from the start I really can't go on with the flow of the story. It just doesn't suite with my taste and I somehow feel a little bit angry and disappointed  on the main character's attitude. The main character, Pil (Jaejoong) had been in love with Uee (I don't remember Uee's character name in this drama) since they were children because apparently they are neighbors. I don't like how Pil is already a grown-up man (28 years old to be exact) but he is still acting so childish just because his childhood's love (Uee) is getting married legally in a week. Pil was so anxious about the upcoming marriage and keep on asking every each one of his friends on how to stop the marriage. Maybe it is just me; this kind of drama is not my cup of tea. I don't like people who can't think irrationally and I think the writer and the director wanted to potray this drama as comically as they could be. It is just too comics that I felt like I want to smack Pil's head so much for acting so childish. I feel so sorry for Jaejoong for having to act as this character. I really want to see Jaejoong in a more realistic drama in the future be it romance or action I think he will be able to pull that kind of character the best instead of a frustrated man just because he can't get his love's life. Yup, I am dropping this drama after Episode 01 and I am praying to see Jaejoong in more dramas for this upcoming years <3 A really really good drama that suits with him tbh.
