Underwhelming plot and chemistry between the leads
This type of drama is not my usual thing but the trailer looks so promising that I was waiting for the drama to drop on Netflix.
I think the first few episodes were fine but then the plot sort of took a nosedive and the last 2-3 episodes I was just plowing through to see if it would get better. Despite all the crazy stuff that happens in the show, I found it quite underwhelming and I think the issue is that I just lost interest / stopped being invested in the characters. With the messy plot and lack of chemistry, I found the conclusion quite unsatisfying despite being a "happy ending".
I think one of the biggest cons of the show is that I just didn't find the romance between Seo Hye Seung and Lee Hyung Ju believable at all. He goes on dates with other women and even sleeps with one of them, and then all of a sudden he loves her even though they've just been on one dinner and gone on a boat trip together? Hmm.
I think the character I felt the most strongly about was the villain, played by Jung Eugene. I haven't seen any of her dramas in a while, but I think she played the part of the evil mistress really well although I would have liked to see more depth to her character. I feel like she was just pure evil and there were no redeeming qualities.
I would pass on this show, unless you really have nothing else to watch.
