The first 5 or 6 episodes were enjoyable and fun to watch. When they started getting into flashbacks, I got totally lost. In one episode that character would say something and you'd think it was said at that time, but then in the next episode the scene would be replayed but there would be more to it so I'd wonder didn't I just see this is the last episode. This wasn't done just once, but quite a few times that I'd wonder if they were just doing it to make 16 episodes or did they really want to lose me.
The chemistry between the actors seemed forced to me. The lead male seemed kinda stiff and I felt he wasn't the best actor for that part. The lead female was more relaxed, but I felt her character lacked true feeling and has this wall around her keeping everyone out, even those who she says she loves.
The supporting cast to me made the series, the manager was excellent as was the rich woman, mother to the co star.
Lastly, I have never seen a character become a star, then be trashed, then be revived, then be trashed, then be revived. It seemed like that last episodes were how many time can he be smeared and still survive.
