Disappointing Drama with Missed Potential

Overall, the drama isn’t THAT awful; it’s watchable, but there are several issues that stood out to me.

First, the format is a real problem. With 80 episodes that are only about 2 minutes long each, it felt like the creators didn’t know how to properly edit the scenes together and just decided to go with this format. The pacing sometimes is too fast, and some scenes feel abruptly cut, which makes it hard to stay engaged.

Second, I struggled to feel any genuine connection between the main characters. They hint at a mutual interest, but they dont show us how they fell in love. It’s as if they just decide to like each other with no emotional build-up or depth.

Third, I cannot understand why r*pe scenes are still being included in 2024. I thought we had moved past that. T
An even has trauma afterward and is afraid of Jin touching him, but the show barely addresses it. There’s one scene that acknowledges the trauma, but then it’s completely ignored for the rest of the series. What makes it worse is that Jin wasn’t even toxic up until that point; he had the potential to become a great character. Honestly, I found An to be more toxic than Jin. An had zero communication skills and refused to talk to Jin, even though Jin repeatedly encouraged him to open up.
Also dont get me started on the side characters, like the Aunt and Uncle.
The story had potential and so did the character BUT they ruined it.

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this drama, nor would I watch it again. There are just too many issues for me to overlook.

A Dragged-Out Disappointment: This 2010-Era Drama Falls Short on Chemistry and Execution

Honestly, I started watching this drama without knowing its production year, but it quickly felt like something from 2010. The production quality and acting had a distinct 2010s vibe. Overall, the drama was poorly written and reminiscent of a telenovela. I barely managed to finish it, skipping through most parts of the episodes due to its dragged-out pacing. There was no chemistry between the main leads, which was surprising given the storyline centered around a child and marriage. Their interactions were limited to hand-holding and hugging, making them seem more like friends than romantic partners. Ultimately, this drama was a huge disappointment, especially considering the potential of its storyline.
