Goes downhill fast
Started pretty good, but by the end, it felt like someone had a jar of suggestions for subplots and they were randomly digging through it to find something for the next episode. The interconnections between the characters became absurd, and they insisted on tying up every loose end in a hurry. Just like your shoelaces, badly tied means a lot of unraveling. By the last 10 episode I was pretty disgusted by it all.
Mostly, the acting ranged from adequate to dreadful. The male lead (Ahn Jae Hyun) looked stoned and zombie like much of the series, but especially at the end. If I'd had to use that dialog, I'd get stoned, too. The second male lead (Jung Eui Jae) played it all very flat, going from nasty to depressing with not much in between - but if the transition in his personality wasn't well written, there really wasn't much he could do with it.
I don't usually pan something this badly, but this was a stinker. Watch something else or read a book.
