I don't know where to start but I will give it a try.
ACTING -- Plastic, repetitive, unemotional, forced and just bad. Tedious repetition of same lines, same outcomes and impossible resolutions of problems. Acting was just merry-go-round pronunciation of the same or similar lines or facial expressions. The baby stretched out on the blanket was the best actor throughout.

STORY - I routinely watched this drama in the morning and the story was so unrealistic and condescending to human intelligence that I felt like an idiot watching this mess. They even extended it 23 more episodes which was a trigger to drop but after 60 hours - I just went into fast-forward mode to the end. A 26 mile marathon running with bad knees.
MUSIC -repetitive music every episode with singers at a cabaret. It was just plain annoying after a while.
REWATCH - not in my lifetime.

I have had bad luck watching daily dramas recently. They are becoming the worse of the worse with the dullest writers and actors. Simply they should try to write an outstanding 60 episode drama then divide it in half., timewise. What is happening is the substance of these daily dramas seem to fill up 30 episodes and they stretch and stretch until the viewers are hooked or frustrated trying to learn the ending which is always unrealistic or totally disappointing.

.....

The drama had the worst fart jokes I've ever seen in any drama. Kyung Ho is one of the driest characters in Kdrama world so is the actor Jung Wook. The leads cast were awful and had an equally awful story. Despite being the leads they always felt as support characters and weren't the big focus. Instead, the love triangle of Jung Hoon & Mi Jin & Soon Young had the biggest cut and focus. The writer's favoritism is clear. Anyway, they were annoying too. All relationships/pairings sucked. No one had any chemistry. Awful story and equally awful conclusion.

Finalmente sono riuscita a finire questo drama eterno!!Forse sarò masochista,ma queste trame lunghe mi prendono parecchio,soprattutto se sono "makjang",
Non vi aspettate chissà che livelli di recitazione perchè è pieno di scene da Soap Opera/telenovele tipo sguardi cattivi,verità nascoste(male),minacce,gente che non si accorge di essere spiata anche col tizio a pochi metri di distanza,svenimenti a non finire così come gli schiaffi,scene inutili e tanto altro ancora che evito di scrivere...
Come al solito inizia con una famiglia che viene derubata delle proprie ricchezze mentre fuggivano dal loro paese d'origine per la guerra...viaggiavano con dei lingotti d'oro e da come si comportavano qualsiasi persona avrebbe capito che nascondevano qualcosa di importante,ma tralasciando questo...Vivono per diversi anni in modo umile per poi entrare in contatto con "I LADRONI" dei lingotti...eh si...le solite cose-
La protagonista vorrà fare la cantante e il suo carattere ingenuo e arrogante potrebbe dare fastidio all'inizio,poi si vedrà meno perchè l'attenzione passerà più verso i fratelli.
Ci saranno diverse scene in cui alcuni personaggi canteranno in un cabaret e tra questi ve ne sono alcuni sconosciuti senza un senso ai fini della trama,magari per svegliare nei momenti di noia i poveri superstiti che sono riusciti a continuarlo-
Cantano sempre le stesse canzoni al cabaret...cambiano solo i vestiti...almeno credo...per non parlare de i musicisti che li accompagnano...non si sforzano neanche di far finta di suonare...cioè il sassofonista ciondola con il suo strumento che può accompagnare solo.
Comunque lo consiglio se proprio non si ha niente da guardare,tanto riprenderlo dopo diversi mesi non sarà un problema non avendo una trama intricata.
