Never forget it’s the story, not the acting.

Everybody has heard the expression, “Only In The Movies”? Well, this drama will brings meaning to that in every way you can think of. You will never meet a woman, on screen, who is more naïve, unaware, weak, trusting, shy, and just totally oblivious to the world than the female lead in this drama. Excuse me if I missed one of her attributes. She gives in to everybody, never says no and has little if any self esteem. Men take advantage of her and even her best friend gets her to agree to give her a chance to win her boyfriend. Never have I seen a woman more vulnerable than Risa. She’s like a moth to a flame, but she is sweet and innocent. And, she has a nice smile.

So, if you want to see this incredible woman, give this drama a watch. Forget about the obsessive boyfriend, it’s not his fault. She was there in front of him and he swept her up like dust on a sheet of glass. She willingly gave herself to him and after a while you begin to think it might have been a good choice.

I read so many negative reviews about the acting but I thought it was great. There is no plot in this drama so the acting is just scene to scene. The dialog means nothing so don’t blame the actors. I don’t think it’s as easy as you think to play the naïve virgin type for the entire drama. She can’t drop her persona for even a second or it all falls apart. The cheesy boyfriend has the same problem. He has to stay in character every scene. If you don’t try to find an actual story you may see some actors and actresses who may be in a future blockbuster. Just saying… It could have been an audition drama.
