Uncontrollabe Nonsense

Where does one begin with such a trainwreck of a show? The cast? Let me see: They were all relatively seasoned veterens. I am not a huge fan of Kim Woo Bin but he certainly carried the show. His character was not a likable one so it was hard to empathize with him even when we found out he was sick. Bae Suzy was terrible? I mean it had to be her right? Her character was such a trainwreck the whole time but honestly does she not know how to act? Was it the director who made her act in such a manner? All the shrieking and flailing around. Drinking until passed out drunk. I understand she had been through trauma as a child when her father was killed but nothing she did after that made me feel sorry for her. She tried to take care of her younger brother which was exceptionally commendable but really I also think she was selfish. We were supposed to be empathetic to her, but I ended up not caring one bit about her or her plight. She really was a useless, horrible person along with the rest of them. Kim Woo Bin's phsycho mother. Thank god I do not have a mother like that. Just a toxic selfish bitch who lived in the past pining away for a man who threw her away. Wow! Then there is the atagonist family. Father, Mother, Daughter and Son. More toxicity in one family than anyone can possibly imagine. I did somewhat feel sorry for the son. He in a way was the only character in the whole story I somewhat empathized with. He was exceptionally weak and snivaling but at least he did not stoop to his parents level of low. The whole filial piety thing seems to be an excuse for so many toxic things to be allowed to happen. Is it really anything like that? Then there was the sister and the crazy fiancee of the son who was not really the son of the father. Both horrid wretched people. The only likable person was her brother. He was just a cutie all the way through. Every other person, managers, friends, etc. all had their own agenda and thought nothing of trashing/trampling on another person to make sure their agenda was carried out. Finally we get to the number of episodes. A completely unecessary 20. They could have and should have stopped at 16. It might have been a 5 if they had. I know this is an older show but it is still available on Viki so thought I would give it a try. It should just fade away never to be seen again.
