Wasted a potential to become one of the best drama of 2020 went from 100 to 1
The inconsistency of the story with not so good character development and force feed of the romance between the main lead is a no go for me. The letters which was the most significant part of the drama vanished into thin air by the mids of the drama. Unrealistic business led with fantasy of winning with no theory and calculations felt like it insulted the real business world where competition is tough between life and death and losing is not calculative by mere luck. I pity the writer for the unrealistic writing. There's no harm to study a bit into business perspective and if rumors of working the story for 3 straight years is true I must say it went down the drain. I wish the writers step up the game cos the world is not always golds and glitters and luck. We are past the fairy tale and for once the female lead stop acting like a damsel in distress. And if they promised us with the information for this drama is to be revolutionary with positive outlook on life and romance I can only say they scammed us. I condone glorying of violence and calculative manipulation of romance. The male lead could be a villain in any Hollywood or American drama. I see a bit of Dr. Evil in him. The hand reference is a joke and the female lead chosing him cos she loves him cos he's him insulted the 15 years memories of the letters and the 1 year of pen pal writing where both characters had comforted each other during the time. What I could not accept was that Ji pyeong saying he was not the Dosan and he did not write the letter like dude he had to look out himself cos he was and orphan with trust issues and living to fend himself so why should it matter if he did not look out for Dalmi those 15 years. Should living for himself and looking out for himself bigger then Dalmi. After all this years he still saved Dalmi and the samsans ass many times even saving Dosan from going to prison. Why was this not enough for Dalmi to have Ji pyeong. But Ji pyeong was too good for Dalmi. A week male lead with zero positivity outlook ungrateful of his parents and friends wanting to hit anyone who provokes his emotionn sulking like there's no tomorrow crying like it could fill up a river. And the duality of words like he wants his father not to be his pride but still wants to be a pride to his girl is so mocking. Is a person even a dream for anyone?. Refrain using the name of God into characters that do not meet the expectations cos it's only mocking even though we are entitled to our believes. Han Ji pyeong can fall in love and even though first love never works the writer has no right to rob off his chance of happiness. Love should not be thank you and sorry. Love has to have a reason. Dalmi could have hold on to the memories Ji pyeong gave her a beautiful memory for the past 15 years and confronted him. It's only right cos memories last forever. I'll say I am not proud to have emotionally invested into this mediocre drama and I definitely did not learn anything positive
