Hollywood meets Makjang, a Modern Day Fairytale( which like it or not is what most of us are here for)
Moral of this story women shouldn’t be trusted, because of they are emotional. They won’t stick by you through thick and thin, so men have to take the reins, shoulder the burden and be decisive especially when they recognize a woman who is a good long term bet.
Kudos to the writer for writing a strong male lead, without resorting to grabbing and pulling the female lead’s wrist, being low-key mean etc.., he was decisive but a little unsure sometimes, competent, independent, in-shape and managed his emotions well.
Kudos also for a strong female lead, without resorting to the “kind to everyone no matter how bad they treat you” kdrama trope. She stood up for herself but knew when she needed a man’s help, she was fit, feminine, friendly, and most importantly knew her true feminine strength was being inspirational to those around her.
The screenwriter is a good storyteller, and she accepts the reality of who men and women are. The one on one romantic scenes are more on the realistic side. This is more like a Hollywood modern romance than your typical Kdrama romance that is more prevalent.
If you’re here for romance it doesn’t kick off till about episode 25/30.
Lead actress might not cut out for lead roles(caveat, I have to see her in other lead-roles), but for what the script called for maybe she’s a good choice, but I will have to rewatch to decide. Her expression in her head shot is the same she has 80% of the drama, like she’s just going through the motions, but maybe that’s the direction she got.
Because of the acting choices of the director and lead actress at the start of the drama it’s hard to grow empathy for her character, add to that numerous other characters you start lose focus on and leads, which makes the story disjointed. When you get to the end you start to see what the creatives were going for. That creative choice is certainly up for debate. I think a more emotive actress would have built empathy early and I suspect a lot of viewers were lost in the early stages of the drama.
This show is better suited for watching with a lot of fast forwarding.
Overall I think maybe I see where they were going, the two actresses are technically Co-Leads.
I won’t give it a rating until I rewatch it if at all.
Ahh I completely disagree. This is one of the best family dramas out there.
My opinion doesn’t mean a majority of viewers won’t like the drama. I’ve observed that Kdramas are moving closer to Hollywood male characters depictions
“Hal-abeoji” is my favorite KDrama “Chairman” , also he is old school and hangs up the phone without announcing lol. He quietly handles business from the background, and is 5 steps ahead off everyone, maneuvering people like chess pieces.
Actor playing male lead isn’t cutout to play lead roles, plus the way the lead role is written and his goofy wardrobe I don’t buy him as psychiatrist or a leading man.
I guess this show decided to save money on wardrobe, or hopefully they will upgrade ML’s wardrobe if he takes on more status. Anyway the crappy wardrobe is distracting.
I guess the writers are going to make sure the leads earn their relationship, I’ve never seen this many antagonists against the lead couples relationship.
The script would have been perfect as a weekend drama with 50 1hr episodes or cut down to 102 episodes, or at very least not put the lead’s romance on the back burner after episode 80.
I explained it before, there's a weekly theme, and the target audience are those who are stay-at-home. It is _not_…
There are dailies that are not stretched thin so to speak, like Unasked Family, Once Again, Be My Dream Family, so it’s possible to flesh out a long script.
