Well that was a bit disappointing. I was really excited for this title after watching the first episode, but the elements that were promising in the show did not live up to my expectations. First of all, the female lead was frustrating and very unlikable, so much so that I couldn't get around the fact that there were 4 potential love interests for her. They tried to paint the female lead as a superwoman, but she ended up consistently needing help, but still said she didn't need it after she received help from someone. The mother-daughter bond was not as heartwarming as I had expected, and I instead found it just a tad bit stiff. The whole misunderstanding was an understandable plot point, but grew to be extremely frustrating and I didn't even understand the reasoning for why Dae Oh left in the last episode. What makes you coming back after two years where you were missing any better? The ending was the most frustrating part of all, since they never even end up making the movie and Dae Oh never ends up directing. The show doesn't play up the dreams of producing and directing aspect enough and for the majority of the time you even forget that the point of the show is them trying to make a movie. Overall, I don't regret watching the show, but I did end up being disappointed by the execution.
