aA script writer who had me screaming at the stupidity of their script.
Okay, I'm not great at writing. I just had to say something about this. This series first three or four episodes pulled me in, intelligent, articulate, funny, engaging,. I just asked myself for having not watched it when it first came out and had such good ratings and reviews. But now I wish I'd never seen it. From episode 4 to the end the script writer made the lead actress into an barely tolerable moron. Every choice she makes is exactly the one that's going to be catastrophic.
In the episodes after the first three or four, there are occasional moments of humor that are actually really funny. I laughed out loud multiple times in between the sickening script where the actress is just horrible in her choices. Everyone around her is trying their best while she does everything to sabotage a good outcome.
The lead actress did her job. She portrayed a moronic idiot very well. The lead actor had a showcase for his looks body and talent. He'll go far. He had a dream role. He played the perfect man. He had to portray a lot of different emotions and he was good at it. So, since he's a Korean making Korean dramas or whatever even if he sucked at acting his career is mostly guaranteed. But he's a good actor and gorgeous; so he should go far.
I somehow think that having played this role the lead actress may have murdered her future. But, I don't know how film companies look at potential actors. If they look at the fact that she was really good at playing a moron then she should get more roles. But if the overall impact of her looking like a complete waste of space is what they look at, then her career is dead. The script writer pretty much must despise women. The first episodes she does something continuously that I'm not going to mention so that I'm not putting in spoilers; but you'll see. It's undeniable and constant in those first episodes and then starts disappearing as she transitioned into a moron. Her role portrayed someone that I couldn't help thinking should really just get killed. But, since this is I don't know a comedic romance story with some thriller thrown in; the character has to live. So sad.
The support cast was excellent and provided many comedic moments. The only problem I had is that the brother and his girlfriend were working with a script that had them over the top and ridiculous. Some people enjoy that. I don't. The mom and the grandmother and the dad were excellent and funny. The grandmother was absolute howl in the first few episodes. The second male lead (?), had a script that half-assed continuity and logic. He was supposed to be misunderstood, but the script writer didn't bother to actually include the pieces that would have made this flow with the story. It was choppy and either lazy or amateurish on the part of the script writer. The actor was excellent. I really liked him.
I only kept watching till the end because I hate abandoning things, but literally every episode from 10 on I was screaming at the actress and projecting my thoughts at the screenwriter as a see you next Tuesday. The storyline had potential and could have been done much better, but either time, budget, interference from investors, or that the script writer was that stupid; took the potential and beat it, strangled it, and then drowned it.
I have little to comment on the music, it was there. That's not to say that it was good or bad. I just generally don't care about the music in whatever I'm watching. My only criterion is that the music doesn't overwhelm the dialogue or the scene. In that sense, the music was great.
The series got an 8.9 or something rating on this site. I assume that the audience it was targeting was 12 to 14 maybe 15 year old girls. Not that they're dumb, but not necessarily the best judges. I only say this because of the rating. I generally assume that teenagers are able to discern quality. But the ratings seem to indicate this was just fan (atical) loyalty rather than judging the quality of the work.
