Thanks for the review - I struggle with finding good cDramas especially the costume dramas partly because most of the reviews seem to be all gushy "it's FANTASTIC!" on all of them.
I don't get your score - if you have a rating between 1 and 10 then, if there is an even distribution of results, the average score is 5.5. Judging by your review you believe it is a below average drama - your scores average to 5 - but not bad enough to drop so why 7.5? Genuinely interested.
I nearly started watching this again under it's A girl and Three Sweethearts title fortunately I came here and checked my notes - "Rapey Kiss, from a smug cold nasty bastard" so I obvs didn't like it last time.
It's a fair cop - I made a deal with myself not to watch or read things unless I was enjoying them. So doesn't matter how much time I have invested if I stop enjoying it I drop it. Suggest some some to me and I'll try them or retry them I'm open to being wrong or accepting my taste may have changed. Nothing sad for the time being though.
Unfortunately it wasn't for me. I found the sports unconvincing, too many close ups of taking a shot without showing where it went making it hard to follow and obvious they weren't playing. The FL failed to make me care about her over the episodes I watched she wasn't hard done by enough for sympathy or enough of a fighter to root for. The 2 MLs just came over as supercilious and full of themselves - I'm so handsome, I'm so cool, I don't have to try - wankers. The fact that they established the power dynamic between the ML and the FL with a flashback "you saved me by teaching me badminton" just pissed me off. I ended up where I didn't like (or dislike) any of the characters, main or side, enough to care what happened to them.
I'm not a great fan of sports dramas though and I'm old so it's not you it's me I'm glad you enjoyed it more than I did.
Sadly I came across most of these when quite far along my Drama journey and so the 'problematic' aspects of them stand out without the warmth of nostalgia to round them off. I don't think I have managed to watch any of them in their entirety (1LNN - I am still waiting to watch the last episode - when I can cope). Devil Beside You and Ko One I haven't tried yet so there is some hope. Thanks for the article
