A Decent Dream Until the End!
I placed spoilers at the end of this review.
Overall, I enjoyed most of this. This is one of those weird series that started off rocky, gradually improved in the middle, and then went off the cliff in the end. The script is simply ok and is just all over the place at times. Additionally, I constantly had this sense I was missing key information. One positive aspect was the characters grew on me and I wanted to know more of their stories. However, the development between the various characters were a little wonky and seemed off. Two of the three romantic storylines were ok. The main one started off nicely with a good even pace until the end. The second one was also ok, even if a little predictable. The last one was just there and somewhat boring. Another positive aspect of the script was it incorporated some very interesting story development. Episode 7 gave me the biggest OMG watching experience I ever had with a plot twist I never saw coming. The entire cast was incredible with their roles and did their best with the script. The cinematography was good, but there was some shaky camara work
Random Notes:
This is one of those series that I don’t regret watching, but have no desire to rewatch it.
******Spoiler Alert******
The Romantic Storylines: Unfortunately, Woo Soo Bin and Ju Yi Jae storyline suffers from a major second to last episode curse. They also end up getting three of my most hated cliché story elements. Sim Yu Geon and Oh Ha Na storyline was interesting. Even though it had some predictable story elements, I developed second couple syndrome with them. I was not that interested in Seo In Uk and Chae Sa Rang romantic storyline. The whole dating show aspect was just unnecessary and weird. Thankfully their storyline didn’t take up too much screen time.
The character Chae Sa Rang was just there. There were many points I forgot how she was even connected to the other characters. I also found the character Seo In Uk puzzling at times.
