i've never been so eager to write a review, especially when i'm still watching it. i will finish this though.
i never really write a review, especially when the drama isn't good enough for me to review, but this time...i'm a little bit frustrated with this drama.

story : the premise was good, really good. the pace was okay, the whole story line was something new and happening in our society nowadays, especially in Asia (i'm Asian) with a lot of prejudice and gossiping about what to do, and what not. but...i still don't understand the background of some character they insert. i think some of it have a potential to be another whole story line, and some character is unnecessary because they just come and go. bottom line is : too many character involved, it looks busy.

acting/cast : this is where the drama go down hill, a lot : the leads
the lead actor, ugh...sure he's handsome as hell, and still looks good on screen even if he only stood there like a tree with beautiful eyes. sure sure....i'm not convinced and pleased with how he expressing things, or not expressing anything at all ? i don't know.
the lead actress is my main problem...she act like a robot, i don't like her laugh, it looks fake and her whole face was really stiff, omg....(only her eyebrow isn't) it frustrated me. sorry to say, but, her whole face look fake either...yes it suit the title, but still....omg....she's to stiff. every expression she make is unreal and unbelievable, not convincing.
i start to watch this drama after watching nam goong min and kim nam gil...so maybe half of it also my fault. the scale is to different.

on the other hand, i like jo woo ri. she look calm with something hidden inside her, she's really good compare to others.
i also like kwak dong yeon...he's expression is on point and believable, and sometimes funny. i think he and jo woo ri are really really good compare to the leads.

chemistry between lovers? what chemistry? i don't feel anything...at all...

i'm really frustrated about the cast since the main idea is good (in my opinion), there's a lot of possibility about the story, and there's a lot of beautiful people with superb expression in SK that have potential to be main lead.
AND...the score on MDL is above 8 ?? please? i consider that's good, but then i see this, hm.....
i should check other drama with Im Soo Hyang or Cha Eun Woo in it...i'm curious.

music was okay, fit in very well

no rewatch...i've got to many drama on my waiting list. even if i have time, i rather rewatch fiery priest or goblin or whatever else.
