i was very enthusiastic about this show at the begining. i loved ShinWoo & Minam, and i still remember with shame my daughter coming into the living room after i shouted "NO SHINWOO!" for the hundredth time. "Mommy, are you yelling at the boy on the Tv again?" yes, sweetie, your mommy is a crazy person. so the oppertunity to see the two actors together again, SCORE!!!
but some where around the 2nd half it just lost me. the story became very forced, with conflicts and relationships that didnt seem organic and much adu about nothing, even more so than in other dramas i've seen. there were also a few episodes (i wanna say 3 or 4) where it seemed there was no forward progress, it just stalled and you were left watching people make mountains out of the same molehills they'd been working over for several episodes already. i still havent watched the last epsiode, i tried, i just cant make myself do it. total lack of interest.
aside from a less than stellar script, i was VERY annoyed at the wardrobe people. Park Shin Hye is a very pretty girl. i get the whole point was that she wasnt a hottie popular chick, but you dont have to give her ugly-betty hair and bag lady clothes to get your point across. i understand that part of the style in korean right now is non-sensical layers, but PSH looked like crap. how many awful skirts does one girl have to endure? and Jung Yong Hwa's pants were soooo tight, i think he probably had to wear a cup to protect the boys.
