Reviews
Pathetic and forced
Seriously, watch only if you are a die hard fan of the actors. The story was extremely forced and weak. What started out as a good story telling turned into a stupid forced tragic romance which literally made no sense to the very end.The only good thing was the strong cast.
Even the OST was so bad and didn’t even match the drama.
Wasted my time watching this drama which became a boring drag.
A Good Story
I liked this drama.I can identify with these characters... the heart wants what the heart wants .There isn't much a person can do to fight how the heart feels. Also, once a relationship happens, parental or love, it is hard to move on, particularly if you are used to a certain level of love or romance. The past gnaws at a person to find satisfaction.. Of course in this story the FL was focused on somehow curing her loses as felt she would never see either person again. What do you do when they just disappear? You have to move on at some point and do what you have to heal.
The music at thrilling points and at the end of each episode felt like they were part of some Broadway musical number. While very interesting, it didn't enhance the action like I think it should have. The music at times was guilty of upstaging the actors because it was so surprisingly odd. I would love to know the composer's intentions for writing it and the Directors reasons for accepting it.
