A promising story that failed to live up to its potential
This could have been a really great drama since it had all the right ingredients and quite a few talent led stars amongst the cast.
However, it dragged on and on. They spread the story over too many episode, creating the necessity to fill the gaps with useless scenes and way too many blank stares from the FML that lasted ages. For the first time since I started watching kdrama's, I actually skipped a few episodes, it was the only way for me to finish the show.
The FML frustrated me to no end. She started out really well but after a few episodes she lost her spark and just became a weak and needy character. I would have much rather seen her as a strong woman who took control over her own life. A lioness instead of a little mouse.
Park Bo Gum and Kwak Dong Yeong were really great in their respective roles and made up for a lot of lacking scenes. The same goes for Jung Jin Young and Chae Soo Band who's characters and talent have been greatly underused in this drama. Their characters held a lot more potential than just fools in love.
All in all, the story wasn't fulfilled to it's potential but it's definitely not the worst drama I've seen.
