This drama....*sigh*.... I've got a lot to say about this drama
The first couple of episodes were so interesting and absolutely refreshing with Dan Oh realising that she is an extra in a comic book and deciding to change her fate. At least that's what the show pitched to everyone. Yeah no this show pitched L I E S. bold faced, clickbait lies.
I seriously don't know what happened after the first couple of episodes but the show suddenly pulled a reverse uno and all of a sudden turned into the k-drama cliche romance story which THIS SAME SHOW MADE FUN OF like TWO SECONDS AGO. I was confusion for like a hot minute and suddenly the show which I praised for being so refreshing and having an interesting plot became a mess. With SOOOOOO MANYYYY repetitive scenes and uninteresting characters as the main focus, watching this show became a chore. I was like begging at this point for something NEW to actually happen but nope and everytime I thought something different was going to be explored further other than Dan Oh's EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL TO WATCH love triangle with Ha Ru and Baek Kyung, for example Dried Squid Fairy and his love with Su Hyang, Do Hwa's character or Baek Kyung with a potiental character arc (finding his true self, love or both). Like seriously how did Su Hyang, a character that came in around the last few episodes, have more substance as a character than Ha Ru. Nam Joo was more interesting than Ha Ru. Even the unknown writer was more interesting than Ha Ru. I initially thought 'I can't be the ONLY one who had these opinions about the show ' but after reading other people's reviews on the show here, I'm so glad that other people felt this way as well.
If you thought this was the worst of it all T H E E N D I N G was when I gave up trying to care about the characters. I'm not even going to talk about the ending that's how annoyed I was.
I swear this show spent like half of their budget making Dan Oh say 'Ha Ru' for like 15 minutes and have her "fall" from chest pains for majority of the show. Not only that but this show left SOOO many unanswered questions with TOO MANYYY plot holes.
Conclusion: The only characters that were my favourite were Do Hwa, Baek Kyung (the actor for this character can SERIOUSLY act) and Dried Squid Fairy. Overall I think this show had such an interesting premise that had so much going for it with amazing cast and acting but it just became wasted potiental. If you're someone that likes cliche love or still find this show interesting, watch it. But if you are someone like me who thought that the show was going to be about a girl who wants to change her fate and be independent in her fate than BOYYYYY will you be absolutely
