Watchable Oatmeal, Where was the love

No spoiler review.
So, after a sea of bad writing and horrible endings, the Cdrama industry trolls us with this drama.
Is it watchable? Yes
Worth a rewatch?....nopes

And here's why.

Unconvincing OTP, in the way it should count.
The affection is giving good friends instead, of lovers.
I mean, we got secondary characters pairing up in ways you can feel they, just can't wait to be together.
Even a late entry villain's love line, gives a better "we have to be together" in the few scenes they were given, in comparison.

A story that makes sense without misunderstandings, fight scenes that feel fresh, characters that talk out the problems, breakups and crisis resolutions that aren't overtop...All great..But, how did they still manage to give us nothing while doing it?

Exciting bland, just smeared all over the place. The tone is too calm, maybe the colors didn't help. It needed something to give it the push that would've made it perfect.

I believe the problem was with direction, which you will see the main actors could've given that spark needed for key points. The director just didn't let them.

It sad the drama is borderline forgettable when these were good roles for the actors

I recommend this with the warning that i found myself even skip watching the OTP the last 10 episodes and it is entertaining....enough.

A- for the story, C+ for execution, B- for the roller set ponytail.
We all deserve better!
