Why?
Why was this given the green light?
Why did the actors agree to this project?
Why does the screenwriter keep getting work?
There really are no words to describe how bad this drama is regardless of how hard it tries to portray itself as a good one. Again I was suckered into watching this as the hype for it became to much and I succumbed to peer pressure. Every imaginable troupe that you can think of is in this drama: tough fl, sweet ml, product placement, sml secretly in love with the fl, evil character that wants to kill main character, product placement, beautiful scenery and did I mention the product placement?
The actual dialogue the mains would have with each other is the most contrived dribble I have EVER come across in a drama... EVER! It's so pretentious and full of itself that I couldn't help but just roll my eyes every time they were on screen; I fear I would have major eye damage towards the end.
Lee Min Ho- has never been a favorite actor of mine. I've seen several of his dramas and dude is just not a great actor... but he's really handsome so he has that going for him. Kim Go Eun- she's hit or miss for me; sometimes she pretty good (Monster) and sometimes she's really bad (Goblin) and this was a miss. Woo Do Hwan- I really don't need to say anything about the kid- he's PHENOMENAL in everything he does even when the script is crap- like how does he do it?! It's pretty safe to say the writing for this is straight up atrocious- like absolutely no logic at all. Any and everything you thought you knew was just thrown out the window.
If you've read this far then you should know that I do NOT recommend this drama, but if you're a glutton for punishment- go for it.
