Missed opportunity
The controversyfirst things first, i don't care about the controversy but if you are someone who gets offended really easily i would suggest to avoid this show. there are couple of questionable things and situations here and there in the show. so make your decision wisely
The music , the editing and the cinematography
the music is very good and gets the job done, its not something that i would put on my phone and listen to but its really good and there are some really good standout ost and soundtracks in this one. sound-effects are also very well done and precise, this show has high production value and it shows the editing and cinematography are on point here.
The Acting
both of our main leads do a very good job at the acting . Ji Chang Wook is a seasoned actor and performs as well as you would expect him to. but for me its the Kim Yoo Jung who steal the spotlight as Funny, Sassy Bad-ass and some what questionable Jung Saet Byul everyone else does a decent job with the material they were provided with.
The story The Characters and the writing
this is where the show falters for me, its starts out well with the characters, there setup and there motivation
and then it went downhill from there. the romance is the biggest disappointment for me. here i was hoping for some cute, sweet and fluffy romance between the leads and we got.... I don't even know what we got can you even call this a romance. first show focuses way to much on JCW and HSH relationship (which Was Trash btw ) and when the show did decided to focus on JCW and KYJ it was already too late.
the story is mediocre and there are couple of other side characters here and they have there own storyline going on but it was meh for me. non of the other side characters or there storyline did any thing for me they were mostly underdeveloped.
This is the worst case scenario for me because i could see that this show could have easily become one of my favorites but because of bad writing , annoying as hell characters (HSH) and mediocre story made it one of my worst experiences of 2020
And one more thing Do Sang Woo, why was he in the show, his character was probably one of the most pointless character in Kdramas this Year
The Conclusion
Overall my suggestion would be to completely avoid this show (unless you are a massive fan of either of our two leads) there are way better shows that you can watch .
