till death do us part

I decided to watch this drama because it was a mini-drama. I'm all for "quickies" and as a snack, I felt that this drama did not disappoint much.

What I Liked:
- The ML and FL had chemistry. They weren't sizzling hot but they were full of amorous gazes. They looked good on screen together. Quite a pleasing pair to watch. I liked how manly the ML is. The FL had her charms too.
- The plot had enough intrigue despite being a mini-drama. While many parts were quite guessable, it was still watchable enough and suspenseful enough.
- I liked the cinematography. I liked the slow-motion of the snow and the reflections of light. I found the drama quite artistically filmed. I liked the feel.
- The acting was quite decent for everyone.
- I liked the good people and rooted for them.
- Happy enough ending.

What I Didn't Like:
- The "differently abled" brother was all sorts of "cray cray". He saw the world from his own warped point of view and this resulted in him killing his wife who did love him. Then, he wanted to find a replacement in the form of her twin sister. Hmm...
- Quite a lot of deaths. Even the good people died. Aww...

Personally, I'd rate this as pretty watchable despite the usual tropes. This mini-drama is a light snack that is quite savoury. I'd rate it quite generously with an 8/10 which means that it is OK to watch IMO. I was toying with a 7.5/10 or an 8/10 but decided to be generous since the ending was happy and I always like happy endings and everything tied up rather well.
:o)
