Worst drama I’ve watched to date. Should have been called Wok of Jajangmyeon

I could tell this drama was going to be trash in episode 2. At the start of this review, I’m 12 episodes deep and nothing has changed. The story is all over the place and much of it doesn’t make sense. It seems like the writers tried way too hard to make some scenes comical that they ended up just plain corny. So far, the love story is wack and judging from the reviews, I don’t foresee it getting any better. The leads are being forced together but they have zero chemistry. Poong is an asshole and he needs some emotional healing before even considering another relationship. In the beginning, it seemed the writers favored Chil Sung but decided to suddenly switch gears to favor Poong. Chil Sung and Sae Woo have much better chemistry than her and Poong. The drama is trash and it’s going to be quite a struggle to make it though. It would be much better without the romance aspect.

Soooo, I FINALLY made it through to the end and thank goodness it’s over! The storyline did get a little more interesting, so I increased my rating from 2.5 to 3.5. I’m still sticking to my opinion that it would have been way better w/o the main leads’ romance. The side characters are so strong that the leads aren’t even necessary. If this drama were about Chil Sung and all of the supporting characters, I’d give this drama a solid 7 or 8. Anyway, still the least satisfying drama I’ve ever watched and Love Alarm 2 was pretty terrible, for comparison. Just glad it’s over and now I can move on.
