I went into this drama with no expectations, I knew nothing about it and had not seen any of my friends talking about it. That being said I was still disappointed upon completing it, I always felt like I had missed something when I started a new episode, I know they are short but I shouldn't feel like I'm losing 5 minutes of plot between episodes and still be expected to enjoy the show.

The characters could have been so good had they been properly fleshed out and written with any kind of depth, one of the main characters seemingly changes overnight into a different person once he learns that the other character is not in fact his brother. Though I will say that since we don't get a great sense of what kind of a person he is before this change I shouldn't be as shocked as I am.

The side couples fell flat to me much like they did for other folks who have reviewed the series, the second brother and his partner, in particular, seemed to just float along throughout the series and we learn next to nothing about them, it was very frustrating to watch them to say the least. The younger brother's relationship was the weirdest to me, the actor did the best he could with what he had but it still felt like he was forcing himself to say his lines, I hope he can get better roles in the future because he seems like he could do well if only he was given a chance.

Overall I would not recommend watching this drama, it feels incomplete and like it was written to meet some kind of quota and therefore not checked over for plot or character depth.
