Underwhelming

Pros:

The opening sequence

Fight scenes

OST

Flashback scenes

Talented actors doing what they could with the direction.

Cons:

Forced humor, often too over the top

Several annoying characters (the entitled/loud/boy-crazy daughter; the deadbeat brother; and the pathetic sister-in-law)

The annoying scene jumping I’ve seen on several Hulu/Disney produced Kdramas

A plethora of non-productive family scenes where the problem people never grow or resolve anything

Plot holes right up to the bitter end

So to sum it up in a non-list form, I *wanted* to enjoy it, it just wouldn’t let me. I didn’t hate it, and what was good, was quite good. It just didn’t balance out with the plot holes, conversations that didn’t happen but should have, lack of any resolutions at all, and unnecessary time with the very annoying characters. It would have been a 7.5 had any one of those issues been properly addressed. Will not watch again, but I wouldn’t insist people not watch it either.
