4 friends is the constant/glue holding this drama together, Choi Ja Hye's character is your variable
Wow. What a great drama despite its flaws. I'm satisfied with most of the things that other people would have or have had problems with, which becomes the reason why i could still score this drama highly.
As i explained in the title of this review, the story of the 4 friends is the constant/glue that holds this drama together, and remains a drama very worth watching for them till the very end. On the other hand the biggest variable for most people is the character of Choi Ja Hye itself, be it their disalignment over the lead actress change midway drama, the character disconnect on the part of the writing when the switch happened, or with the ending itself (resolution of her character).
I for one don't have much problems with these primarily because i think the new actress did such an outstanding job playing the character she's supposed to play, and the ending also made sense to me though it can be disturbing or dissatisfying to some people.
I particularly think the overall story is strong, though some disconnect and messiness are visible in parts. It's heart-wrenching and can drive you crazy at the same time, and this drama was utterly enjoyable because of that.
Acting by everyone is spectacular, and i almost felt relieved that the new actress took up the part in the second half because i thought she fitted the part better. I loved everyone else in the cast ensemble, Lee Jin Wook, Shin Sung Rok, Park Ki Woong, Bong Tae Gyu, Yoon Jung Hoon and Jung Eun Chae. They all did such phenomenal jobs with their characters. Hak Bom especially LOL, his temper tantrums really reminds me of the antagonist character that Namgoong Min played in Remember (2015), LMAO. At times you just wanna laugh and facepalm really hard at his antics because he's that nonsensical and despicable LOL.
I definitely enjoyed this drama more than I think i would. Whenever someone asks me, "is there a drama where the characters are so interesting that they made up to the weakness of the plot"? Yup, I can confidently say that there is, and it's this one. ❤
