This review is mostly about the actors/characters
Alright so this review might not interest/resonate with other people but it’s just my opinion.
I’ve been watching this drama since it dropped on Netflix. I was SO excited because Lee Jae Wook has been an absolute fav since I watched him in Search WWW and Extraordinary You. So far, I LOVE HIM IN THIS. He is not the issue here.
My issue is with Go Ara and the character choices she’s making (from an actors viewpoint). None of her scenes feel genuine. A little too “planned”. The quirks are over the top and distracting. From the way she eats in an overly animated way to how she interacts with other characters. Nothing feels grounded and it really kills me when she’s in scenes with Lee Jae Wook because his work feels very natural.
Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoy her at times when she’s not over-acting... but I almost gave this drama up a few times because it was becoming unbearable.
It’s like she’s playing this character and adding absolutely no depth. Ahh it’s frustrating because in some moments I can clearly see her talent. Maybe it’s the writing? Idk.
Anyway— that’s all! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
