After much debate to watch or not...I finally finished this drama.
I basically wanted to watch because of J Hoon, who I really liked in Goong, and also I wanted to support him as he went thru a tough time with his scandal and all (after all everyone makes mistakes when young) Well he did a brilliant job in potraying his character, along with the second lead. The bromance (or brohate) is quite good between them.
The story is quite interesting as I like revenge type melos, although not one of the best. It mostly deals with emotions between parent and child and siblings. Sometimes its quite painful to watch but at the same time quite addicting that you cant stop.
Its a little long and tends to have repititions and my opinions is that it could have been a wonderful drama if it was 16 or 20 episodes max. The latter part of the drama is much more interesting than the first as there are lots of twists to keep you engrossed.
The romance is absolutely cold...not even luke warm, with no chemistry between the leads. Im sorry to say but the girl cant act.
The mother is played amazingly and definatly steels the show even though she is an evil character.
the ending.....well I didnt like it. I think they could have thought out a better end for that family, it felt a bit unsatisfactory.
All in all not bad, but not great either..watch if you like revenge melos, but there are much better ones out there.
