Melodrama or bad writing

I will be completely honest with you, I hated this drama! Since so many people hyped it up I expected too much from this drama. Sadly, I was disappointed.

I´ll start by highlighting the good points of this drama, the actors, and the music. The cast was picked perfectly for the roles they played. The director was able to get the characters perfectly aligned with the actors who should play them. Down to Moon Young's mischievous eyes and Ji Kangs bright silly smile. You couldn´t ask for a more perfect cast!! The music is another thing that was great, it did a good job of queuing you when an important scene was coming. The music was picked perfectly and there weren't any unnecessary songs that didńt match with the scenes.

Now onto the bad part, the plot. I'd like to say the plot had a good pace but there were so many different parts of the plot that were rushed. We start out thinking this is just going to be a murder mystery about a college girl and whether not the male lead is actually the perpetrator. Then we end up getting swept away by the main leads forgotten yet recurring trauma. Then what seemed to be the main plot is forgotten. Then we get introduced to a new character that we think will be a threat but turns out to be helpful and their so-called ill intentions never end up being acted upon. Ultimately creating a bunch of plot holes and dumb decisions that could have easily been solved. If you like melodramas/soap operas you´ll most likely like this drama and will dismiss the illogical events and plot holes that occur, but to those who seek a plot with reasoning and meaningful messages don´t waste your time!
