Painfully slow

A quick overview of what I thought about the first few episodes.

I tried with this drama. I really did.

First of all, if you're expecting a romantic comedy, this aint for you.

A Piece of Your Mind is a melancholic/romantic drama that mixes in cheesy dialogue with a relaxed sort of vibe. And while I do appreciate what it was trying to achieve, and acknowledge that there may be a select audience that appreciates this sort of drama, I just thought that overall the drama was not executed well.

First of all, as shown in the headline, the show is painfully slow. And the show gave me no reason to stick through the plot.

The main characters are first drawn together by music, which was just about the only thing I really enjoyed about the drama along with its presentation/camera work.

Jung Hae In once again in the same role that limits any acting capabilities able to be shown. The same old serious, smiling, love chasing dude with no other emotions.

Chae Soo Bin in a slightly different artsier role, but once again, limited by the role she's in.

Then they try to make the drama all mystical like, with multiple flash backs, they strip it of all technical aspects involved due to the genre choice and it messes with the whole plot.

I assume it was trying to achieve something similar to "Her" but the connection just wasn't there. Like why do I care when a A.I suddenly is able to express their thoughts and emotions when I know nothing about anyone involved? They shroud everything in mystery without even giving me a taste of wanting to know more. I'm not given any reason to care.

We'll see how it goes, but based on what I've seen so far, my interest is dwindling.
