JCW is a great actor. I dropped this because I absolutely despised the FL. It’s funny, I like the actress in interviews, but something about the characters she plays on screen always rub me the wrong way. I really couldn’t stand this one, maybe more than any FL in my history of watching dramas. She’s basically a cheater, a hippie playgirl who skirts all responsibilities and commitment like she’s allergic to it, leads men on, acts all bubbly and “free spirited” in a way that men are supposed to just swoon head over heels for, I could go on but I don’t even want to waste my time talking about her. Just no. And the ML is supposed to be so smitten with her that this is somehow all okay or even charming. She is the definition of toxic and the ML's mental health and happiness got completely destroyed. It got so frustrating that I didn’t care if her character ends up being redeemed or not. The documentary style was also jarring to the story and got old fast. I hope JCW continues picking good projects instead of ones like this, he's definitely one of Korea's best actors and deserves the best roles that show his range.
