I watched the HIStory series out of order and i’m absolutely glad i did, because i rate two of the stories amongst my favourite dramas of all time, but i am not terribly sure that i would have continued with the series if i had watched My Hero first :(......... The supernatural element was far too camp, that it began and continued to venture into children’s show territory and on top of that, the cringe factor remained high throughout most of the series... The moments that were supposed to be cute, awkward moments between the actors actually felt awkward to watch in real life (like the shy conversations) and where those awkward moments were supposed to turn into funny cute moments, like in the bottle scene, i still felt like cringing -_- The end of the series can be guessed from half way through the second episode, which is not the worst thing in the world, but i also struggled to find as much chemistry between the actors in this story, as i did in other HIStory series, which really let me down. I do feel that this had more to do with the script and direction of the series though, and less to do with the actors’ abilities. I really think that this concept could have worked well in a longer series format with a more loaded script and darker feel. I still continue to enjoy the History Series though, and if anything, i appreciate that the franchise is always trying to provide variety, even if i don’t particularly enjoy one plot :)
