Nam Joo Hyuk, Shin Se Kyung, Lim Ju Hwan, Krystal, Gong Myung
Drama Rating: 4/10 Neck Score: A+
I wasn't going to watch this one, because it was obviously going to be not amazing. But I kept watching all the clips and spoilers about it, and hearing about it from others, that I thought I would give it a chance. Plus, I was having Gong Myung withdraws after
Revolutionary Love finished, so I need to see it. Plus, as everyone said, it's got a lot of pretty in it. That's pretty much all it had in it. It's rare to see something so fabulously bad as this. It wasn't just because the actors were not the best. I've seen Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung do decently well before, just not in this drama. Although neither of them were so terrible that I wanted to cry or die even (most of the time), they were both not on their form at all and left much to be desired. Really it was a combination of bad acting, directing, and writing. I blame the writing the most for my lack of enjoyment. It was just so bad, I didn't feel connected to the people who should. I didn't care about the people I should, it was all just a big mess. A big, pretty mess.
So, my biggest problem is that I just didn't care about the plot of the drama. It just wasn't compelling to me at all. In fact, I was probably watching it for all the wrong reasons, because I was way more compelled by the secondary couples and antagonist than the main couple. It probably wasn't the best idea to watch a drama for Gong Myung when he wasn't even really in the first four episodes. But he remained one of my favorites in all the other episodes. I also related and cared about Lim Ju Hwan's character and story way more than anyone else. So here is a list of the things I liked and cared about:
