Immature writing and characters
What I liked:
1) It was only eight episodes.
2) It did improve for me somewhat at episode six.
3) Choi Tae Joon. I watched another show where he was the lead, and he doesn't really have the presence to carry a lead role. At least in this, there were so few episodes, that his ability wasn't noticeably lacking.
4) I loved their date, them spending time together and getting to know one another.
What I didn't like:
1) The language. I am totally not a fan of cursing.
2) The cat's voice was totally wrong.
3) The girl in ML's photograph was shown multiple times, with a flashback to explain how they met, but then a BRIEF explanation of what happened to her (if you blinked you would miss it). The ML looked exactly the same in the 7-year-old flashback as he did in the present. When the psychotic girl showed up, I thought it was her in the photograph, but she was a completely different character!
4) The psychotic girl. They should have changed her hair and makeup, so she looked more "normal". She didn't even have to say or do anything, she just LOOKED crazy. Plus, her behavior and what she did was actually illegal - he should have had her arrested.
5) Too much drinking.
6) Weakness of the ML in dealing/not dealing with psychotic girl.
7) Editing issues. ML leaves his own home when the crazy girl won't leave, but in the next scene he's at home, and the crazy girl isn't seen again for quite a while.
8) The fantasy scenes in the elevator were just clunky to watch.
9) Repeat of the same song over and over.
10) So, the ML is supposedly totally enamored of his cat, yet he lets some random woman that he doesn't know take care of it?
11) Generally, the overall campiness bothered me. It felt like the parents, the cat, the lightning was all just played for laughs, so it felt very slapstick. That's fine, but then it would try to move into a more serious tone, and it overall just didn't work.
