Seeing the hype surrounding this drama, my expectations were high going into it, that was not a good idea.
I rarely dislike dramas, i may find one boring but rarely have i disliked one. I've only disliked 2 dramas i have ever watched and they have the same problem. I can overlook a boring plot or story, but what i can't overlook are unlikable main leads, and that is exactly what this drama has. An unlikable main lead makes it really hard for me to support him or her and it just overall makes watching the drama unenjoyable. It also seems that the drama was confused as to who the main leads were throughout the whole show.
Before diving into the negative, lets talk about the positive, Han Ji Pyeong, the second lead (supposedly). He is the saving grace of this drama. The story started with him, and should've been about him but that didn't happen. The writers really didn't do him justice, he was the character that felt most alive. Whenever he was in a scene, he breathed life into the scene and whichever character that was sharing it. Needless to say, i'm team good boy.
Now for my biggest problem with this drama, Nam Do San, the main lead (supposedly). He is the most toxic, insecure, entitled prick for a main lead i have ever seen. Not too mention he's also a manipulative liar and too violent to my liking which are not exactly adjectives you would want to use to describe a main lead. He is so unreasonable in most of the show that it started to really piss me off but he always manages to get away scot free because he's the main lead.
As for Seo Dal Mi, the female lead. She was fine in the beginning but as the drama progressed, it felt as the writers gave up trying to give her character growth and made her rely on someone else to help her pass any obstacle.
Now the romance, i wasn't the type that hoped for HJP to get together with SDM but at least make a ML that is better than the SL. I felt that NDS was inferior to HJP in every aspect which made it very unsatisfying to watch the romance progress as i constantly felt that the ML didn't deserve the romance, he didn't seem to do anything to deserve it either
The writers really wasted such good potential. The plot was intriguing but the way they wrote the characters and the story were downright horrible. *sigh* that's 16 hours of my life i'm not getting back.
i would give 1/10 but for Kim Seon Ho, i'll make it 1.5/10.
