Meh

There are two very good things about this drama. The first is the production quality. It's pretty good. Most kdramas, even webseries, usually are. The other great thing was Ryo Ho Sun's hat with the pink beads. I loved that hat. Such a good hat.

The story... ehh it was kind of lame. It followed many drama formats before it, so it had a basic level of good. But... how to explain... it's like there is a lack of depth there. The writing feels superficial, like it wasn't made to be taken seriously. In this way, it felt disappointing. There's a plot hole concerning the sister/brother switch. We never see the family's reaction to it, which just makes the story feel hollow and not thought out. Also, the development of the relationship between the main leads was so... empty. They didn't really have much to bond over. I think it would have been great if they committed to the whole, "this is my sister's marriage" and grown unexpected feelings while trying to convince each other that they could not be in love. It's a great premise, I just wish they actually supported that premise with an equally great script. The script was weak, but it could had been salvaged if the actors breathed some life into their characters. Which brings us to....

The acting... It was decent acting. They're not bad actors. But, they also didn't really think deeply about their characters. The kiss scene was so cringe. There was almost no chemistry between the leads throughout the whole show. It almost felt homophobic to watch if I may be so overdramatic. With a script like this, it really needed actors that added something to their characters. But these were actors that were just delivering lines in a way that felt human. Good eye contact, shifting gazes, etc. It was more, "by the rules" of acting and less *feeling* who their characters were.

Honestly, the whole thing is disappointing. I powered through to the ending because it was so short. This drama felt half-hearted in many ways. It kind of felt like an assignment. Like it was made just because someone wanted it to be made, but not because anyone actually cared about it. I don't know. Am I being too harsh? Do you agree?
