started nice, ended thumbs down
I've been watching Korean dramas for almost two years now and I've become a huge fan. What's not to love about them? First of all, the depth of characters, the moral values, then the poetic scenarios, the unexpected, the music and songs, the cinematography. Overall, most of the dramas I've watched so far were worthy of the hours I 'd glued to my tv screen.
But once in a blue moon, I happen to see flops, as The Road, the tragedy of one. The first few episodes cought my attention, but the rest of them were as if I was watching a boring table tennis game, where the ball was passing to each one of the characters as potential suspects of the abduction and murders, unsuccessfully. I was looking forward for the last episode for some explanations, but unfortunately they were never given. Too many episodes were spent on the fuss of the who did it, with the scenario looped over and over again on the same points, and when the time came for explanations to be given, it failed miserably.
As for the acting, now. I've seen mr. Ji Jin Hee in many dramas (he was exceptional in Misty and Designated Survivor). In this one, I had the impression that he was sick and tired of the poor scenario, so he let himself to pool some indefinite smiles occasionally, as if he couldn't help himself. Many kundos to mr. Chun Ho Jin, Kim Sung Soo and Ahn Nae Sang. It was the first time for me to see the actor who played the brother in law, I hope next time I see him he 'll be improved. Too stiff and not knowning what to do with his body, most of the times. (Sorry, but he didn't convince me the slightest.) The children actors were, as in almost every Kdrama, very good. Ms. Yoon Se Ah was truly exceptional in Snowdrop, in this drama though she was just doing her job, nothing more or less. Ms. Kim Hye Eun also. Ms. Baek Ji Won is always stellar.
Re-watching value? Nah...
