Gets lost in the wilderness
Starts with standard sad girl opening. Ok. Soon we learn sad girl is a tough girl with dreams. Even better she has a plan and is working hard. Sad girl meets misunderstood street boy. Uh-oh. Still through the first episodes sad girl seems to stick the plan. Yay. Uh-oh, sad girl's family is a boat anchor trying to drag her down. She cuts the cord and sets them adrift. Yay.
Second leads are rich girl wanting to stand on her own and rich guy who's an f-up. They're both pretty good characters. Yay. Of course, rich guy likes sad girl...but don't worry about it...you know where it's headed.
Drama stuff happens...ok so far. Then we take a hard left into the wilderness. Street boy takes over becomes incredibly righteous, starts his own business (CEO and suit time), strong/sad girl becomes more arm candy like now. Street boy/CEO becomes the leader of the neighborhood businesses etc. and we descend into war of the evil chaebol restaurant empire trying to crush the righteous local restaurants. Blah...so much promise wasted.
Still it's entertaining enough and I like the characters, but instead of grabbing the epicness that is within reach, this drama settles on mediocrity.
