Perfectly decent drama
This has been on my list for a while and as I recently saw comments talking about how bad it was, this pushed me to watch it! My takeaway is that though it wasn't a mind-blowing drama, I really don't think it's worth the heavy criticisms. I'm particularly surprised to see such dislike for Shin Se-kyung - I thought her acting was perfectly good, I enjoyed her character and I've seen far worse actresses get far less critique. Nam Joo-hyuk as Ha-baek gave a subtle performance, perhaps a touch too impassive at parts, but I thought it suited the role - I was reminded of the phrase "still waters run deep." I thought the second lead was great, often the second lead can feel like a pointless filler character but his background and struggles moved me. Anyway, I found this to be an enjoyable watch and it left me feeling happy and content. Some of these harsh comments make me wonder if we watched the same thing!
