the line between good and mess


this drama start so good that it give me a lot of hope but is totally turn to a mess half way and you can feel how the writer don't know how to make the main couple fit together in a nice acceptable way.

This drama succeeded, despite all the hate and disappointment, but it succeeded in pulling us all to the end. Did it make me angry some times? Yes, but I also had a lot of fun.
The writer got into a big problem. It started with a wonderful beginning, but when events continue to happen, you feel that this beginning is meaningless. Why did they build this strong background for the relationship between the FL and the second lead if it was meaningless at the end? Don't get me wrong. I know who the lead is from the beginning, but I expected that forming relationships would be better than that. Having a great second lead in many dramas is a normal So why did the biggest disappointment happen? It was the building of the lead character.

When the drama began, I expected Dosan and his friends to act as ambitious, inexperienced young men, but what they don't work for money or success. So what? ... What model should we learn from them? Do not listen to the experts and take their speech personally, and even beaten your mentor and hold him responsible for your mistakes?!! how they have small mind all the time.
The development of Dosan's personality was the biggest mistake of the writer, this young man who started with a nice and naive personal (I was very happy with him because I love this kind of leads), but he turned into a person with the character of the victim, jealous and sees only his own problems and a woman. The nice guy who has family support and friends beside him thinks he has nothing and only wants a girl!!! This young man built his lie to get the girl, but he accuses the other person as if he wanted to steal everything from him. How can we sympathize with that !! Here the writer came to save Dosan’s character by telling a background story that kills Dosan more "the cheating" was he always like that? taking chances but crying after taking it? but never gave it back or apology! just cry over himself and think he is victim of using others? Should we sympathize!!! Goes to his father, "I don't want to be your pride and happiness" Was the father sharp with him from the start? He was supportive always he gave him money to make his own dream, but it does not matter, because this young man’s dream was a girl he wanted to be her pride and happiness lol even after years he still had the same personality only they changed his clothes but the character of Dosan can be summarized in one scene when he refused to give messages to jipyeong like it blong to him. The writer didn't know how to work on Dosan, is he the sweet or selfish, rude?
Dal Mi, I loved her very much in the beginning, but at the end there was not a great development in her character. The girl who loved someone for 15 years, and wasn't able to overcome it, of course, she is the same girl who was not able to skip the man she date for months. Her character did not develop much, she retreated a little too she was no longer independent as she was, but she followed Dosan's views when he tells her about something, and she tries to find a way to change her mind to match him.
JiPyeong was the written character so better that I doubt he was the character who wrote first and maybe he was the lead before the writer changed his mind. Now if we look at the end, who is Jipyeong in the story, is he the official sponsor for them who writes messages, hears them, advises them and is attacked, but protects them until the end? Is he the Godfather ?? he were there to receive the emotional and physical violin. This good boy who tells the facts as they are so that they learn doesn't Compliment mistakes because he care really care not want to use them, What did he gain from this relationship? NOTHING... I had great hope that Dosan will be the younger brother who listens and has a relationship with him, but the writer completely broke that. Ji-Byeong used to have the grandmother from the beginning and had no one else in the end. Well he owns Youngsil the best thing haha.
Inji, the wronged character why was she not given enough space? Instead of dragging the story of love and conflict to the end, it was necessary to focus on the two sisters' relationship and form a relationship between Jipyeong and Dosan. I am still frustrated by this. they didn't even show how the sister fix their relationship slowly the 3 years was a useless jump.
In general, the series did not succeed in conveying a good message about the youth, because Samsan's exampal was very annoying, but it succeeded in being entertaining and attractive to talk. It's a kind of drama that you enjoy on airing time better than watching it alone.

The actors were very good, Seonho was the surprise par excellence, he made the character of jipyeong seize the attention to such a degree that it covered all the love scenes of the main leads, even his scenes with YoungSil made them a nice couple lol, he was so cool yet cute what we need else, sure seonho future.will be bright from now on... Although I disliked Dosan, I liked how Nam JooHyuk acted the character maybe the best acting i saw from him. dalmi fit suzy well she was so good on it.

The cinematography and the music was very good and I liked many osts on it.
lastly would you like to watch this again? no, but won't regret watching it.
