Mixed thoughts

So much manipulation!....for it to just end up like they wanted in the first place. It seems everyone wanted to beg, borrow, and scheme their way into being in control.

This is not so much a review for others as it is for myself. I'm trying to figure out what I just watched. Hidden motives, actions, reactions, and a lot of character contemplation make this seem like one of those books that you were assigned to read in high school. You know, the ones that you didn't really understand but had to do a report on anyway, and by the end of the report you kinda understood it a little better.

Ultimately, I liked this drama....but barely. Everyone had their own idea of how to fix a broken situation, and it was frustrating to watch. You never really knew whether the characters were being selfish or selfless. My favorite character was Han Tae Young, because he was so optimistic. But my second favorite was Jung Ji Yeon, the female editor, because she refused to let herself be manipulated and didn't hold back her opinions when asked. She told it like it was, and wasn't afraid to say that she was looking out for her own interests. But she also didn't blame anyone else for her own missteps. She had courage and class.

The one thing that I didn't like about the three main characters is that they were all determined, but so passive by the ending scene that it was unrealistic. And that professor? Excuse my language, but he was a douche.

I'm not going to recommend this drama, but I'm not going to not recommend it either. The actors carried out their roles well. So I guess the story is what left something to be desired. I've definitely watched worse, and I was able to get through the drama without any thoughts of dropping it or dreading the next episode. So I guess it was ok.
