Personal opinion is I was neither wowed by the romance (just felt bland) or the conclusion to the case (like they did surprise me by who it was but also with the build up they had it didn't make sense). I didn't like it much but I'm glad it was a short watch of 12 episodes well almost done. A promising premise but I didn't like the execution.
It's better if you go in not knowing spoilers I feel like the plot relies on having some plot-twists. This is not a drama you watch expecting a nice story with sympathetic characters (only Than really). This is a more dramatic story about a dysfunctional(to say the least) family's power struggle then romance but I enjoyed that the romance nonetheless because it's not a typical one you usually see in these types of shows. This drama is not for everyone the style is very lakorn (elements) indeed but I enjoyed the journey and even though the ending gets a lot of criticism it was very fitting for the show.
I don't find sex scenes offensive or shocking in my pov I'm ok with a mature scene here or there those types of scenes can even said a tone or say a lot about a character if done well. However here this movie had nothing really going for it. I was bored despite the sex scenes. The movie doesn't make you engage with the characters at all or a story imo.
A hard watch very disturbing but very sad at the same time I am torn because this movie has some hard painful stuff to watch but it is a good movie but I wouldn't watch it again personally.
And long it was too long. If you watch for the story I think it's better then to watch for the non-existent romance. The romance is so badly executed imo. The story had some interesting points here and there but drags sometimes especially with the high episode count I got bored more then a couple of times I wanted to skip some parts so badly. And with no romance except 2nd couple to fill in the time(they might as well been the main couple) I was fighting to stay awake. The actors did a good job acting especially ZL. The FL made some dumb choices she was frustrating (I was almost as frustrated with her as ML was). Great for a one time watch for me.
It started so strong and interesting but then towards the end lost punch. There were a couple things that irked me. I invested so much time to be let down. FL was ok I normally don't like actresses who act so emotionless and stoic (here it felt more in keeping with her role but it gets boring to say the least when you already know what to expect every episode). ML was good at changing the feel of his character from defenseless to be more assertive but him alone is not enough to carry a romance. The last episodes felt like a different story I don't know. the side characters are unlikable many times. I don't know I guess this just wasn't for me or something. If they have a season two I won't be watching for sure.
I'm currently re-watching I really hope that one day the ML and FL actors will work together again on a different story their chemistry is just so good and so natural (I know cliche to say but it's true) just perfect for me. This drama really is a so good not for everyone but truly a gem to those who come to love it.
I'm on episode 4 I don't know if I should keep watching the ML annoys me he just seems like my way or I don't care what you have to say type of person and it's getting on my nerves. The FL is kind of monotone but she's putting on a front because she's an attorney so I get that. I hope the ML starts to get more development. Atp I'm more here for the murder-mystery then the characters/romance. I hope this gets better.
I watched this because I wanted something short and mature (lately I'm in the mood for more grown-up romances) but this is just nope (and I don't mind morally grey characters or that don't conform to the norm). The problem plain and simple is that this show is just bad in terms of acting, writing, and even how this rather simple and boring premise could have been developed to something decent but it didn't so just 1/10.
It's pretty good I think people who like a heavily mystery-medical (whether it's realistic or not) drama with some romance and likeable main characters might like this. I enjoyed the first 20 or so episodes more then the last ones though because novelty starts to wear off.
