Im dropping this drama half way through episode 10 so I will not leave a rating.
This drama had a good start. Fine, it's not the most original story but sometimes remakes can hit home. This didn't.
I'm gonna start with the conclusion for the lazy readers.
The story is not so original but I had hopes for it anyway. Sadly they couldn't keep it logical and used tricks to make things go the way they wanted. The romance is not believable and the acting is not very good. This combination made the romance unbearable and the script, very cheesy. The development didn't make sense and they included a very disturbing and unwanted love implying incest.
Here is my more detailed review:
The reason I'm saying this is because this is one of those dramas that abandon all logic to make it go the way the writers want it to. The curse is used in a way that doesn't really make sense or have meaning. As far as the 10 episodes I've watched there is no explanation to why it exist (Maybe they bring it up later? i don't know) or how it works. The only thing that's presented to us is that The first son's first wife will be used as a sacrifice for the guarding spirit of their house hold.
I don't see this as a problem considering that in 2014 Korea it's not unusual for people to live together or be intimate with each other without being married. Even if it would be frowned upon I seriously think the people would make an exception, considering they're saving someone's life.
I also found the romance development ridiculous. I wasn't feeling it at all and it felt rushed, which is weird since there are still 6 more episodes to go. It's like there's an unfinished battle between them but all of a sudden they're in love. I feel like they use the running time the wrong way and the last 3 episodes will probably be dragged out romance.
To make it worse, Yang Jin Sung isn't the best actress in my book since she always shows 6 different emotions at a time but it was bearable because of Lee Hong Ki. Not because he is especially talented but because he's charming.
This drama is also filled with contradiction and a hint of incestial thoughts in it. You can list as many excuses you want to why it's not incest but if you think about it, the basic principal is still there.
But there's a crazy lady that hits people so...
....ENJOY!!
