The Void
Oh, how I am loath depart with this drama.
Did I like it? Oh, yes.
Did I love it? For sure.
Did I laugh so hard I cried? All the time.
Did the ending make me die a little on the inside?
Well, I don't want to spoil anything...but if you want info on the ending, see my comment instead.
So given what we were given, I'm mostly satisfied with the ending. Do I wish that things had turned out better? Oh, for sure. But am I happy we at least got what we did? Heck yeah.
And really, my milk and cream for this show was Yi Gak's three manservants (aka The Minions), anyway. These guys were hilarious! Even in the last episode I was laughing so hard. Love it!
I feel like at its core this show was a comedy. Yeah, it tried to be a whole lot of other things too (more on that later) but really, you have to take it for what it is. It isn't and wasn't ever supposed to be no Queen In Hyun's Man, if you know what I mean, but it has its own unique charm.
If you wanna get all technical: The directing is kinda awful. I don't really like the music. Live shooting did not do this drama any good in the editing department and there are lots of plot holes and otherwise un-necessary characters/scenes.
Some scenes are really cheesy and others look like they came straight out of a bad Hong Kong martial arts movie (I'm not even kidding, see the last episode)!
The bad guys are so ridiculous it's funny. Especially Sena, who made NO SENSE to me what-so-ever and was the most detestable female villain in the history in female villains. And that is NOT a good thing. I like it when I love to hate my villains. Her? I did not in any way enjoy.
And then there is our EXTREMELY unfortunate heroin. I cannot think of another character who has had to suffer as much as she did. If you just start listing off all the crazy things that happened to her you will be amazed. Especially if you include the fate of her incarnation. Dude.
THAT ASIDE...I really did love this drama and I think that is testament to how good it was despite its flaws. When you can love a drama just for what it is and not what it isn't I think that means the show was a success.
I would recommend it as probably one of the funniest dramas you will ever see but don't go into it with high standards. Also, what it with your drama buddies. It's all the more awesome that way!
