The esssence of what made k-dramas popular... maybe.

Cliché vomit, exposition vomit, and scenes with strange framing that just go unnoticed.

I am no saying it is horrible at all, it works with the aspects of his own genre in the standard way possible. Predictable climax, ending, protagonists, subplots and behaviors you will find in different stories combined into one. The main problem is the lack of weight; there are no real consequences. The script that makes the story shallow, the kind anyone could write.

I could easily enjoy the mediocre chemistry of the lead couple besides their acting. Yoo Jung and Song Kang looked like they were only face and voice sounds, none of it felt real at any moment. Their acting was strongly regular, but it's not good enough as the script does not help. We could maybe blame Korea's production pace; nevertheless, it's way too naive. Some couples do have hard times developing on-screen chemistry, but... I don't follow Yoo Jung's work much, so her performance here is the only reference I have, and I'd say it's average. As for Song-Kang, he's done better work, definitely not one of his's best performances. I just can't stand it when they insist on giving him such easy roles that lead to the same old thing.. . The rest of the cast met general expectations: nothing remarkable.

If not, it also could be only the sript's fault and they did it better. ;-;

Overall it's a 'lazy afternoon drama' for when you want to be less critical and sensible. That 'so-so' we like sometimes. It has a good idea which makes the beggining cool, unlike the rest of it.
