This is a Tough One

I have to say I agree with previous reviews. This drama is really hard to swallow. It starts off well with a simple premise. Then it gets absurdly complicated. You can feel the desperation of this drama to be epic but the director did not know what they were doing.

So many cast members, how ridiculous. I say this after watching Snow Tower and Lost Love in Times. I did not think anyone could beat those dramas on extra cast members but this drama certainly did. You could feel the money go down the drain. The acting out of the gate is bad. FL "genius" is terrible and then becomes annoying because she is so freaking terrible. You just want her to stop. She has moments of glory but it doesn't match her overall character. This is the director's fault, they saw how bad she was but kept filming without coaching. ML has no connection to anyone not even playing two faces. He doesn't work at all. He's totally overshadowed by the second leads. FL "purple eyes" kept us watching because she's good but not great but her story follows the usual cdrama plotlines and her interactions played well with other characters. You even forget about her eyes after awhile. She's why the audience stays.

I'm sure the studio regretted the money they poured into this because it does look expensive. Next time keep it simple. Beauty does NOT equate to acting skill. This is the lowest score I have ever given to a cdrama but it honestly deserves it because it's such a mess.
