One of the most anticipated Korean dramas of 2024, especially because it featured two top actors. With such a strong cast and a promising premise, I had high expectations going into this drama. Unfortunately, it did not fully meet those expectations.
Main leads deliver excellent performances, especially in emotional scenes. Their portrayal of a married couple who slowly reconnect after losing their way feels convincing, and their acting is strong enough to carry many scenes.
The first half of the drama was enjoyable, with an interesting setup about a broken marriage, family conflicts, and the hidden feelings between the main characters. The emotional moments worked well, and the audience could easily understand the pain and struggles of both leads.
However, from the middle episodes toward the ending, I started to lose interest. The story became repetitive, and some conflicts felt unnecessarily stretched. Instead of maintaining the emotional intensity from the beginning, the drama started to feel predictable and slower than expected. Several plot developments could have been resolved more naturally without extending the conflict for so long.
The supporting characters also had mixed results. Some added entertainment and humor, but others felt exaggerated and distracted from the main relationship. The drama sometimes relied too much on dramatic situations rather than allowing the characters' emotions to develop naturally.
