WTF was that?!

Disclaimer - massive Song and Jang’s fan. However!
WTF was that - I can swear the story each episode have the same back bone - reminiscence, some very artificial urgency in the company, followed by some small drama, his dead brother gf fit, followed by his mum or her mum fit, back to the couple, and the episodes generally finish with them reminiscence.

The story doesn’t have any warmth for me. Mature romance have more, if not less, strength, in this drama all this was lost. The story kept weaving and shifting not being able to find its path.

And, this must be the worst Song’s performance so far - I was ready to forgive her in the first few episodes, but it never improved. I didn’t feel any chemistry between the two - the magazine photo shoots they did have more charm than the 12 episodes I watched.
Was Jang intimidated by Song? It felt to me like he is holding back..acting is definitely the art of acting off someone and Song didn’t give him much to work with.

However, not all is lost - the story of Hwang Chi Sook was so well told, Kim Jojo Heon and Choi Hee Seo did a fantastic job:-) I’m dragging ep12, because I lost any desire to watch it, more of the same...shame really, as it’s visually beautifully shot (clothing, styling), even the OST is okay..

Such a shame!
