A wasted opportunity

I wasn't sure about watching this drama, I'm not really a big fan of Lee Minho acting after watching him in The King but I was curious about the rest.
It started kind of interesting, despite that atrocious depiction of U.S. people in LA but I have come to expect this in k-dramas, lol

The story was filled with cliches and I was about to quit but then is like someone said... It's like a drug and although you hate it you aren't able to stop.

The main leads were pretty plain, I confess I liked Lee Minho more than in The King and I got really emotional in some scenes but those two were pretty boring. I'm sure I'll forget about them very soon.

I was rooting for Yeong-do at the end, I think he had the best character development of them all. Won was great at the end too but maybe they could have done even better. The relationship between Kim Tan and Eun Sang mom was hilarious and heartwarming and the group of friends, although many interactions were pointless and the humor didn't work most times, Bo-na and Chan Yeong were the cutest.

Overall, I expected more of everything. I wish it hadn't been so cliche, that it could have been memorable. I expected more about the power dynamics, at the end, the story with the father got really boring and it sorts of gives a happily ever after vibe that seems unrealistic.

One final point about the OST, sadly, along with The King, this is another drama where the songs don't transmit me anything.
