Really dull, sadly
I am not gonna lie, the low ratings for this drama definitely alarmed me when I first decided to watch it. The second red flag was probably the fact that this drama was cut short due to said low ratings. When I read that this drama was definitely on a much slower side than what I’m used to, I thought, “pshhh… I can handle a slow drama. I don’t have the attention span of a child, after all, so I should still enjoy this.” Yeah, I was wrong. This drama is the dullest thing I have ever watched since The Walking Dead season 2. I am not ashamed to admit that I have stanned Chae Soo Bin for quite a bit now, so I had hopes that the cast would pull through and make the drama worth watching for me. Wrong again. I still love Soo Bin, but the drama completely failed to touch my heart and I felt like it was trying too hard to create a dreamlike, melancholy mood. That is to say, I got really depressed when I watched the drama, and not in a good way. The plot was essentially nonexistent, so I don’t even really know what to talk about in this review at all. The idea behind this drama was definitely one I hadn’t ever encountered, and the pacing of the romance itself was beautifully well done. I appreciate the fact that the characters focused more on developing a platonic emotional connection before getting romantic, and they were a joy to watch on screen together despite the snail-like pace of the drama. Otherwise, nothing was out of the ordinary in this drama and it was just… okay I guess. None of the characters were particularly memorable, nor did I feel compelled to find out what happens next. As many have said, the ending was quite underwhelming because, although all the side characters got their closure and their stories were beautifully wrapped up, the same cannot be said for the leads, which is incredibly frustrating. All in all, I would look elsewhere if you’re looking for a drama to tug at your heartstrings, as I didn’t feel much at all watching this. And trust me, it’s quite rare for me not to cry when watching a kdrama.
