No Classic for me I'm afraid
Let me start with saying that I have seen many fabulous dramas and though I do appreciate perfection I don't need it to fall in love with a drama. But not only couldn't I find anything to click with, I got really annoyed about the level of dilettantism. This is a really harsh word so let me elaborate.
The overall rather colourful appearance (due to settings, make up and costumes) and the plastic plants wouldn't have bothered me much, hadn't it been for the sheer amount of carelessness. Shouldn't you at least know to check the make up of the face matches the skin tone of the neck and - and I have never seen anything like this before - the ears, if you strive to be a make up artist? Especially the make up of the FL is so wrong, that her ears appear to be staggeringly orange/peach coloured (as does her neck in some scenes). Kenny Kwang looks like he generously uses self tan lotion. Oh my.
Sorry to say, but style, CGI, costumes, settings, editing all nothing to write home about, if you know what I mean. Is it really so difficult to place candles (yes, it's in the background, but ...), that they won't stop dripping as soon as the are lit? Yeah, I know, but there are so many details like this. Call me nitpicker, alright, but if you take two similar vases with flowers to create a setting, shouldn't they have the same amount of flowers and not one of them having noticeably more than the other? And - and this sounds really mean, sorry - some of the costumes actually looked like rather bad cosplay. And have you ever seen a drama, where the lighting in some scenes is so disadvantageous that it emphasizes the bags under the eyes of a FL (in that case the second FL)? Well, here you are.
But all this could have been marginal, if the story and the acting would have swept me away into the drama. The combination of, well, not very good acting, not very good dialogue and a draggy, predictable storyline, seconded by the above mentioned points let me quit in episode seven. I was bored from the start, but a thought I should give it a real chance to change my mind. Nope. Didn't happen.
So, no, I don't recommend. There are so many dramas to watch, better choose something else.
