Could have done a lot more with less
WHY is this series 46 episodes? This would have been done way better at 20-24 episodes.
This is a perfect example of over doing subplots and the building of secondary situations while dragging out the main storyline. The ML was tiring in playing over-the-top mean and then within his thoughts being tender. The FL was tiring in not speaking up for herself and allowing a lot of mistreatments to fester. They both (ML and FL) were going through an unnatural traumatic event. For the ML to go completely cruel to the FL when it was proven time and time again that she was clueless to everything was a bit much. The audience didn't even get relief from the on again off again mean/half-good ML until almost episode 30 and it was still a bit off. The drama length would have made more sense if it was broken up into about 3 seasons (15 episodes first 2 seasons ending with 16 final season) It probably would have landed a bit better instead of feeling like a Groundhog Day of mixed emotions, hurt and misunderstandings. ML and FL acting was okay. At times the chemistry seemed forced or off due to the off-putting character that was placed on ML. Probably will not rewatch...no need. OST was nice for the drama. I cannot stress enough that it would have been so much better 20 episodes less.
