Misunderstood mess
This could have been such an amazing drama.....
And honestly, it *was*... until the first crush crashed.🫩🫩🫩
The moment she appeared, the story suddenly did three backflips and landed directly on its head. I am genuinely convinced the person writing this drama before her arrival and the person writing it afterwards were two completely different people.
Because how else do we explain this?
How can one contestant force another contestant to choose her by threatening to destroy the entire reality show? Forget contracts, legal paper work, confidentiality agreements, production authority and every other piece of reality-show logic. Apparently, all you need is enough audacity and suddenly the contestant has more power than the people running the production.......
"Make it make sense."
But honestly, I'm even more disappointed by how badly the drama wasted the ML's Pinocchio syndrome. That premise had SO much potential.
But Instead of exploring the consequences of a protagonist who literally cannot lie, the story keeps wandering into side plots and characters the audience barely cares about. And then we get ML's bother flirting with the director/captain... Sure, she was great. But ML's brother? .... Really?
While SML is sitting there drowning in his own emotional agony, these people suddenly become the second couple ......No!!! Nobody asked.
The two things that genuinely saved this drama for me were the **acting and the music**.
Almost every actor did a great job, from the leads all the way to FL's African assistant. Everyone brought something to their roles.
ML especially impressed me. It's my first time watching Ko Kyung-pyo step so far outside the comfort zone I've seen from him, and he delivered such a refined performance. His expressions and body language were absolutely hilarious, and a lot of the character's charm came from how naturally he played those moments.
And then there's the music. Definitely one of the highlights of the drama. The background tracks were fun.
Overall, I wouldn't tell anyone to avoid this drama completely. Give the first few episodes a shot. They were genuinely enjoyable, and the premise had enough potential to make you curious about where things were going.Just don't ask me how long you should stay. That depends entirely on how much patience you have left when the writing decides to take a vacation. ðŸ˜
