I really wanted to like this because of Lee Minho, I enjoyed boys over flowers and was expecting something similar in terms of entertainment from this drama but unfortunately that wasn't the case.
I'll list the few things that were good:
- I liked some characters: Young Do, Lee Bo na, the two mothers and sometimes Rachel;
- The bromance between Kim Tan and Young Do;
- The relationship between the two mothers.
And that's about it.
Now I'll list the things I disliked which were too many.
- Really plain and cliché main leads and boring romance. They had minimal chemistry, especially in the earlier episodes. Most of their scenes had an awkward aura around it and their romantic interactions looked sorta forced. The fl had more chemistry with the second lead and the ml had better chemistry with some of the other side characters than the fl;
- The fl is the most monotonous main character I've ever seen in a drama so far, she never stood for herself ever the whole drama, all she did was shed tears. I don't know what went wrong, if it was because of the script or the actress, because I've seen another drama of hers and she was sorta boring there as well (no offense);
- The ml is extremely possessive and controlling towards the fl and some scenes were uncomfortable;
- The plot was too uneventful which made the pace really slow;
- There were too many characters, making it confusing to keep up with the plot if you aren't paying close attention;
- I actually felt sorry for Rachel, because even though it was a fake engagement, she had feelings for Kim Tan and he could have, at the very least, treated her better and not humiliated her at any opportunity because of Eun Sang (before they had broken the engagement);
- The actors were all way older than their characters and some scenes made me cringe because of that;
- The ml's outfit choices after he came back from America we're terrible.
And the list could go on but that's all I can remember now.
What I take from this drama is no matter how romantic they portrayed it, I don't ever want to be stalked, obsessed over, be the target of possessive and control freak behaviour, by any man and be a submissive woman who can't stand for myself.
This may sound harsh but I think this was one of worst dramas I've ever watched if not the worst. The ending was not impactful. Eun Sang's situation never changed, Kim Tan and Young Do didn't become friends again, the brother didn't have a happy ending with the person he loved, and we were just expected to forgive the father because of his illness in the end.
I don't recommend this at all if your looking for a quality drama but you could watch it just to laugh at how messy it is, especially if your watching on Viki with the comments on.
