Started off decent and tripped up along the way
This could have been a lot stronger if the acting wasn't so subpar. It felt like the director called people who had the 'look' he wanted and said show up and act like yourself. The ML and FL both beautiful looking. You would think with all the kissing scenes, the chemistry would be better. But the pressed lip smudge kisses totally don't work. The FL started to work a nerve mid-way because acting super naive in one area and courageously bold in another showed no balance in character development. Also, everyone does not need to be in a coma or have amnesia in some way. Throwing that in during the last few episodes took away from the main storyline. The SML obsession of a 1000-year promise was lacking in the story and gave no real weight to the importance of it all. I think the writers realized that in the end and tried to make it all make sense in the last few episodes which fell short. Abusive mother and mastermind behind bad things happening in the story didn't hit the mark either. You could have cut all of her scenes and the story would have remained the same and/or probably better because (the bad things) could have been placed on the SML which would have made more sense in the competition over the FL and power struggle. The OST was forgettable Yet, all in all it was okay.
