The story itself is actually really good, but I think they made a mistake in trying to make this a dark comedy with the issues involved – rape, prostitution, extortion, to name some. It creates a disconnect and takes away from the impact of the story. Without the comedy, this story could have been a lot better given each of the main characters’ backstories.
Sun and Kat’s story is heartbreaking and my favorite thing in the story. I wish we could have seen more of why and how Sun went from point A to point B. You could probably deduce why he ended up being the way he is from the backstories, but I still would have liked to see more of the in-between of what happened to him between when Kat left when they were kids to when they finally meet again as adults.
Mote has a touching backstory as well, but I couldn’t get into his character because of the comedy.
This is a good effort by GMMTV. I’m glad they continue to try different stories and genres.
