Wasted Potential

If the plot and pacing could be on par with its characters building and their acting, this will be my top drama of all time.

Acting: The chemistry between the two main leads is really great! Their acting is wonderful, and I really enjoyed watching them interact. The supporting characters' acting are good, with some better than others.

Storyline: Pretty good, but some plot points and dialogue can be predictable at times.

The tiny nuggets of comedy (accompanied by the impeccable sound effects timing) in the drama are gold, highlighting the characters' relationship and personalities.

The first half of the show makes this my new favorite c-drama, while the second half is a big let down. The pacing was thrown off and the plot became messy. The story became rushed and I find myself unable to enjoy it as much. I feel that it became needlessly too heavy, with things happening (character deaths) seemingly for the sake of it and served no true purpose.

The beauty of this drama lies in its characters and yet the chemistry between the characters are butchered and lost in the plot and pacing of the second half. Such wasted potential of incredible characters and their personalities and acting.

Rewatch value: 100/10 for the first half, 3/10 for the second. That being said, I would still recommend this drama if you are looking to experience some romance, laughter and tears. Hope that you will fall in love with the characters, main or supporting, just like I did.
