Somewhere over the rainbow
Started off well but ended in a mess (Watch at your own risk)
I have no previous experience with the cast except for Liu Yi Chang whose acting I've enjoyed in 'I've fallen for you'.
Which means that unlike many others, I went into this drama blind.
The main leads are both seen as one thing: lucky or unlucky, with the male main lead being unlucky and the female lead being very lucky. The plot makes use of foretelling visions in dreams, which is the main force behind the first meet-ups of the two main characters. What started nice maybe slightly annoying, quickly turned into quite enjoyable drama. Besides the few clichéd plot turns which can be overlooked if you're in for a light drama watch, the plot was building up nicely.
However and there is a BIG HOWEVER, the 'conflicts' that the writers kept inventing to keep the plot going are just so ridiculous, you need to turn off the part of your brain that controls logical thinking if you want to continue watching this drama. I have seen drama writers make use of the same ploy before but never have I seen an drama which expects its viewers to be so blind!
I honestly liked the way the actors are doing their job, but the way the plot turned from entertaining to just plain BAD is unbearable. The only saving grace you can say are the second lead couple, the talent of the actors themselves and perhaps the production.
If it wasn't bad enough, it's obvious that the writers were hurrying trying wrap this up last three episodes. Trying to wrap my head around it just gives me a headache. The only reason continued I watching, is because of the time I had invested in the drama and because I still had hope for my second lead couple. The only way I was able to finish this drama at all is because I skipped most of the last episodes.
Unless you are already a fan of the cast or if you don't mind sitting through a whole drama to see if they second lead couple ends up well, I see no reason for you to start watching this drama.
DO NOT waste your precious time on this drama. You are better of watching fan made compilations online. It will save your brain a lot of trouble.
