"Predictable and most of the time boring."

The K-drama is okay, but my problem is with the main actors, who I honestly think are pretty mediocre in terms of acting. On the other hand, the supporting actors are 10 times better than the leads. The actress has this terrible acting trick where she almost blinks, and she does it in every single scene. The main actor has just one expression for everything, and the only way to tell if he’s happy, angry, surprised, or confused is by how wide his eyes are.

The romance in this K-drama feels like something out of Wattpad; they’re adults in their 30s acting like teenagers. Honestly, the romance is useless and ruins quite a few episodes, so for me, it’s -1 point.

Aside from all that, the story is simple and even predictable. There’s no memorable OST, mediocre acting, pointless romance, and it’s only good as background noise. By episode 8 or 9, you can figure out the whole plot.

"People say it gets better with each episode, so give it a chance."

People say that the kdrama gets better as the episodes go on, and I hope that's the case. Unfortunately for me, the first episode is what makes me want to continue watching a kdrama, and that didn't happen here.

First of all, I hope you watch the first episode so you can better understand what I'm about to say.

This kdrama has one of the worst first episodes I've seen; nothing makes sense:
1. They make two characters who are completely different physically change clothes, and surprise! They fit perfectly.
2. The protagonist runs a red light and almost crashes three times. YES, 3 TIMES and there's no confrontation with another driver.
3. She asks for information from her husband's secretary who disappeared, and the secretary responds saying, "you should call him." OMFG, how did she not think of that? It's not like they spent the whole day together and she didn't notice that she called him on her mobile.
4. They break into her office and a policeman she apparently knows appears and asks if anything was taken or if something has disappeared. Then our protagonist looks at him, says they didn't take anything, sighs, the policeman turns around, and then she says, "something disappeared, *sigh* *takes 3 seconds* my husband disappeared." What the hell is this, a Wattpad story or what?
5. The supposed suspect in the case escapes and decides to meet with our protagonist. Where do they meet, you ask? In a café? NO. In a crowded place to blend in? NO... Under a bridge, UNDER A DAMN BRIDGE WHERE IT'S OBVIOUS THEY WILL ATTRACT ATTENTION BECAUSE THERE'S NO ONE ELSE AROUND (surprise, they get found).
6. And the stupidest thing I've ever seen, the person who finds them initiates a chase that lasts 10 seconds, where the person chasing the suspect FOLLOWS TRAFFIC RULES AND KEEPS A HUGE DISTANCE BETWEEN HIM AND THE PERSON HE'S TRYING TO FIND... And wait, there's more. Turns out the protagonist has an idea, to overtake the motorcycle and make it crash into her car... the pursuer goes flying (remember they are near a cliff), falls, the protagonist checks on... next scene, the guy from the motorcycle is fine, no injuries or scratches, standing on his two feet without pain talking like nothing happened and to top it off, he runs off to get his motorcycle. The protagonist could have killed him with that stupid idea, but seriously, it's the worst first episode.
7. Honestly, the first episode has a lot of talking and nothing is explained, literally nothing, and there's no desire to continue because unsurprisingly it's a kdrama about investigating a character's past and that's it, that's all.

If someday I have nothing to watch, I hope I take this back, until then I'll look for another kdrama that's more appealing.
