This is my first review here on MDL. I purposely didn't watch this while it aired, but that didn't stop me from seeing spoilers from many of my Facebook groups, so much so I had to leave them. So needless to say I had an idea of the ending before I watched it. I hate knowing what's going to happen in a show because I keep picturing it in my head and it takes away from my enjoyment.Enough of that, on to the review...
I loved most the actors, they each brought their own slice of life character to the show. Some did a better job than others in their acting, some went too over the top and became borderline annoying. (In Ha and the stalker)
I wish I could say I enjoyed it, but I didn't. I could relate to many of the characters from my college days and now on my job. So my lack of enjoyment may have been due more to it being too close to home. Some parts did, however, seem forced to make the impact needed.
As this appears to be based on an ongoing webtoon I accepted that fact as I watched, more out of a morbid curiosity than anything else. I couldn't get into it as I wanted to, with regards to Seol and Jung's relationship, but that's just my response. Sorry, I didn't see what all the hype was about. Too many parts and characters, just seem to appear for the effect then disappear into thin air.
It's definitely a second lead syndrome drama. I liked In Ho from Roomates and here he did a great job. Jung played his role to perfection, and was one of the main reasons I continued to watch it. For the most part I couldn't even like him, and kept thinking WTH?
Seol was not likeable to me either, and even mean at times, silly at times, and simple at times.
Loved most of the ost will add to my favs.
As for the drama, once was more than enough for me. I'm left feeling a bunch of nothing after a few sparks. I could feel hurt when I should have felt hurt. Just a few laughs that were short and resulted from some silliness.
In the end it seemed like lots of characters that overlapped but just for effect, nothing else.
