A Classic??

Well this is one that's been flying under my radar for a long time because the synopsis left me cold. I finally decided to give it a try as so many people appreciate and recommend it.

I managed to groan and skip my way to ep.13 before I just couldn't take any more.
The fact I made it this far is really a testament to Woo Bin and the main couples mothers.

Woo Bin brought at least some depth to his role as well some acting chops and
the relationship between the live in Mistress and the mute maid gave some much needed laugh out loud and some strangely sweet moments.

Lee Min Ho left me cold, I didn't care for his acting or his character and the chemistry between him and Park Shin Hye was so lacking I was genuinely surprised by the 'romance'. I thought I must have skipped the wrong bits but when the Romance montages came up at 'emotional' points I still felt puzzled.

Park Shin Hye was given a lemon and failed to make lemonade; though it would have taken a rare genius to make anything of Eun Sang. She was really just a 2D cipher for the male protagonists to do their rich kid cock measuring contest for whilst treating her as an object to be dragged and pushed wherever they wished. There were a couple of sparks of character at odd times but they were quickly extinguished.

Most of the side characters weren't on show enough for them to provide much relief.

Maybe it gets better over the last few episodes but.. who cares? Not I.

The music? 🤢
The story? Nothing new.
Acting/Cast? the few easily eclipse the many but not enough to save the day.
Rewatch? Only if they gather all the Mothers' moments into one video.
