The drama didn’t live up to the hype!

In an interview actress KIM JI WON said she signed the show because she was curious and wanted to know why the couple hated each other that much . Every viewer had the same question but the question was never really answered properly. The writer didn’t delve deep into the issues of the couple. Like why their love turned cold? . Yes we saw the lovey doovey memories and how they fell in love but not how they fell out of love and most importantly how it turned into hate!

In the first episode HYUN WOO was miserable and wanted to end the marriage. After finding out that HAE IN is terminally ill and will die soon he was genuinely happy and wasn’t even a bit shocked. This showed how much he hated hae in and wanted this marriage to end. There must’ve been a strong reason for him to be this way considering how empathetic and kind person he is in the show. But his wife, (who he use to love) is going to die and he is happy about it!!! What caused this !! the writer didn’t unveil those details hence the plot felt incomplete.
And more emphasis was put on Hyun woo’s misery and Hae in’s side was left out from it. I couldn’t understand why she stopped putting effort in marriage and was soo cold towards him.

The story could’ve been complete in itself and didn’t need villains at all if the story focused on the main plot. It felt like a completely different drama afterwards. Hae in was terminally ill and eun seong still wont stop chasing her till the very end like a psychopath. And seeing him chase her again and again became boring and too dragging. So many thing were going on at the same time like the villain plot and hae’s in illness plot, that the main issue was swept under the rug.

Last but not the least I am tired of how no kdrama can go without lead hero being a saviour..The writer could’ve done better and not give us the same story that we have watched 100 times.
In the end I gotta admire kim ji won, she was phenomenal. Brilliant acting by her. She has proved how amazing of an actress she is. Baek hyun woo and hae in’s chemistry is also amazing. Their acting and Chemistry carried the whole show.
