Fortunately.. the disappointment came quickly.
I've hit my quota of eight episodes, subjecting myself to watch through even when the drama fails to impress.
Despite the lackluster description of "Love Like the Galaxy," buoyed only by positive reviews, I reluctantly gave it a shot.
And boy, did I rue the decision to ignore my instincts. Firstly, the narrative lacks any semblance of coherence, careening aimlessly without regard for structure.
Secondly, every character wallows in a pit of despair, displaying minimal emotional range.
Attempts at injecting levity fall flat, as the supposed "comedic relief" fails to elicit even a smirk. Slapping on humorous music doesn't magically transform a scene into a comedic goldmine.
In sum, the sole saving grace of this debacle is its cast. And when that's the highlight, it's a glaring sign of creative failure.
