Nothing much about Venus.
The premise of this drama seemed interesting to me and I looked forward to watching it. However, I was let down by the drama.
What I quite liked:
- I have not watched any drama with the ML before and I found him very watchable in this drama. I felt that he carried the show.
- The songs were quite nice.
- There was very little angst.
What I didn't quite enjoy:
- There was hardly any plot. There was hardly any drama in this drama.
- Also, this drama was a romance which wasn't very explosively romantic or "oh my goodness". The ML and FL have hardly any sizzle or chemistry.
- The actors and actresses in this drama seemed as though they were all just delivering lines without much emotion or aplomb. There wasn't anything that made me go "wow". Often, I felt that the acting was fairly stiff and stilted. (An aside: The acting for Dear Missy was excellent and everyone was in character and acted so well that they did not appear to be acting.)
- The ending was happy but I expected more from two adults in a relationship. After all, they weren't little kids.
Overall, my verdict is -- watch as a filler but if there are more interesting dramas out there, it is fine to skip this one. It isn't a bad watch but there is nothing much to it. There is nothing much about Venus.
