Not that great- even the chemistry was flat
Probably because the writers tried using all the same tropes and tricks from Mysterious Love- the accidental falls, the pull her closer, the toss the blanket in the air?? Haha…
Firstly let’s address the elephant in the room. Is this drama a Season 2 of Mysterious Love? The answer is No. well, it does not seem that way to me. It’s a completely different storyline, although the 3 main leads are the same. That I felt was an issue. If the writers wrote different characters for the same actors it could have been more interesting. But this was the same actors, same sort of characters (bodyguard, damsel in distress) so it was a repeat of sorts with a different flavour. The last 5mins of the final episode seemed like a continuation of Mysterious Love, but I honestly don’t understand why that was included.
The romance and chemistry would have been good if you haven’t watched Mysterious Love. If you have, then it’s all just too familiar and similar. There was a very steamy bed scene, but that was nothing compared to the bathroom/ bed scene in ML lol. See this is the problem- too much comparison. Sorry…
The mystery/ thriller storyline was mediocre. Slightly confusing initially but all is revealed only in Ep15. By that time the audience can sort of guess the gist of it. Had a very dramatic monologue by the villain in that episode, which I ff hahaha. He seems like quite a nut job. ;) 2nd couple was alright, nothing much to shout about either.
Short drama- 16 episodes. Not too bad overall but don’t expect too much:)
