“All Hype, No Substance”

Overall rating of one star because the entire drama series was one-dimensional. It was flat, dragging and uneventful.

The storyline had no depth and to compensate for its lack of development the writer just seasoned it with sensual scenes to titillate the audience.

The female lead Han So Hee annoyingly moves in slow motion, has a shallow viewpoint, perennially stares blankly, and talks mostly in expressionless monologues. She appears lifeless with no energy and enthusiasm. She also has a habit of nagging the playboy male lead about his self-centered and heartless ways but ends up in bed with him anyway. So, what is there to love and admire about the lead characters? Nothing.

Song Kang portraying the playful gigolo is unconvincing. His facial expression is exactly the same whether he is happy, sad, excited, upset, and what not. His entire demeanor is like a cardboard cutout. No impact whatsoever. To be a believable heartthrob he should possess more than just good looks. He needs to have a charmingly vibrant personality, sense of style and eloquence. Sadly, his only redeeming factor is his visuals.

The supporting cast members somehow breathed a bit of liveliness to the otherwise monotonous, sleep-inducing plot.

Don't expect a happy and ideal ending. Lust and stupidity triumphed in the end.

The director, producer and writer should all reflect on their dismal collaboration to determine why this drama of theirs yielded such a shameful outcome. The consistently low ratings and numerous negative reviews are evident proof of their collective failures.
