Without Dilemma the Plot Lacks Depth
The acting here was great, however the dialogue and plot were lacking. I found it difficult to understand why these two fell in love, beyond physical attraction. There's no journey of getting to know each other, just typical K-Drama long shots of lingering gazes.
There seemed to be almost no dilemma to overcome, without which, there's no real story.
Also, as a musician, it's not the *worst* offender out there, but from the beginning with he says "Ah yes, Am and G" then plays a Cm chord... I knew to temper my expectations. It's good that the actor could play the piano I guess, but when the story centres so much around music, the producers could try a bit harder to get that right.
Signing a record deal that explicitly passes all creative control to the label, then whinging when the label excercises said creative control, is a good way to get dropped. This part of the story irritated me.
The setting had a lot of potential, but sadly they blew it. Hopefully, though, the popularity of BL series and films will lead to better things.
