Give the drama time
I can't lie, I did not like this drama ar first. The main female lead was so annoying I couldn't even fathom it, she was pushy and loud to the point it was just boring to watch. But around ep5 after the backstory episode, Chae Ro Woon did a 180 and she started to become likable.
The whole revenge story didn't really go anywhere as it got changed but i'm glad they didn't venture into that any further because Ro Woon wouldv'e became more unlikable. The whole storyline about her sister was quite interesting though, with the fact they made us think that she like U-il but he like Hwang Gi but in the back of my mind I allready guessed it to be fully honest.
With the male lead Hwang Gi, I really enjoyed his character because I can relate to him so much because I have a hard time communicating with people aswell so it was so intresting seeing it at a 3rd person sperpective and I learned it can create misunderstandings and can be annoying to some people. Hwang Gi is probably one of the most thoughtful male leads i've watched as he watched over Ro Woon for 3 years and also let her take her revenge and let it be. When He starts to change due to Ro Woon it actually made me very happy because he was able to speak his mind because when he's by himself he's very lively like me so I understand him so much so when he did that presentation or talk to his Silent Monster team it was so fun to watch. Watching Hwang Gi's character actually inspired me and I want to be like him someday to where I can express myseld freely.
Now with the female lead Chae Ro Woon, I detested her character at first. She was loud, obnoxious, pushy and had every bad trait a female lead could have. In episode 4 when Hwang Gi did his presentation, she realised that theres more to him than meets the eye and when she finds out more about him, she starts to mellow down but we all know this is because they changed the scripts because she was so annoying so I cant imagine how the story wouldv'e been if they didn't change it. One thing I liked about her new character is that she was really understanding of Hwang Gu's problem and helped him in the end, she even went as far as to forgiving him for her sisters death after realising how much he has done for her in the last year to make sure she wasn't lonely.
The main romance was actually quite fun to watch, the two had amazing chemistry, whenever they were in scenes together, they didn't have a bording scene after episode 4. Out of all the dramas i've watched these two would have to be in the top twenty couple becasue I loved the dynamic they were in, the male was introverted while the female was highly extroverted so they balanced eachother out really well.
With the secondary leads, they were your standard secondary leads to be honest. With U-il I really didn't like him at first due to his stupid decisions and his way of putting down Hwang Gi who was trying to change. But he did start to become likable near the end of the show due to telling people teh truth. With Yi So, I just felt really sorry for her, she was a victim aswell since she got betrayed. When she told Ro Woon's sister to disapear we all know she didn't mean that literally and she was just flustered. She was actually having a really hard time to where she felt suicidle and even resorted to self-harm. I actually like her character and I like her brother-sister bond with Hwang Gi.
The Silent Monster team was such a good cast as they made the show lighthearted but it was sometimes annoying when they misunderstood Hwang Gi. They were all diverse and had thier own personalities which was fun to watch,
There were 2 OSTs that were consistant and they were fun to listen to, there's not much to say about them to be honest.
Overall if you can get over the 4 episode slump at the start then I really reccomend you to watch this show because once you get over that hurdle. The two main leads are really enjoyable to watch as they have great chemistry.
