Disappointed

I really like some of the main actors, so I was expecting better. It started off well for the first few episodes. Most of the characters (in the main three couples) were good, though fairly shallow and predictable. Then it just got weird. The relationships were all over the place, the plot line hopped around like a rabbit on cocaine. It was very hard to follow, with holes everywhere. By the last few episodes the bad guys were so overdone it was painful to watch. I don’t really expect a lot of realism from my dramas- I can suspend some logic for a good story. But this was ridiculous. Cliche, predictable and boring. Grandpa was a jerk to everyone, but all of a sudden they all loved him at the end. He got sick and people who hated him were crying. Why? There was never any relationship fixing. It was like a switch just flipped with no explanation. And don’t even get me started on the boxing scenes. And the boxing shorts! That whole part was awful… and they did it more than once.
I would have quit watching earlier if not for the 3 main guys- they did well with the scripts they were given. But it wasn’t even remotely interesting by the last few episodes. I’ll look for them in other shows.
