Is it 2018 or 1988??

Gosh this drama is cringey....from the elevator stock music soundtrack, to the overly soap opera story, to the horrifically tacky cinematography. Like...whenever there's a "time" effect they do this super ugly double vision sort of screen flash. Even the normal scenes have terrifying cinematography with weirdly timed freeze frames...it's so hard to watch, like a cheesy soap opera from the 1980s. The lead actor...idk who was responsible for his wardrobe but why couldn't they have at least ironed his clothes. The poor dude is always dressed in wrinkled tacky rags. The soundtrack is so so bad...the instrumental music is distractingly bad.

The storyline is super dated feeling too...like it's 2018 so why have they incorporated so many rapey AF lines from the male lead and even set the female lead's brother up in a situation where he might have screwed the lead's best friend while she was passed out drunk. It's like the plot of a bad porn or greasy romance novel. The screenwriter has only this as a credit on their profile, the director isn't known for producing hits really...so I guess all of that comes through in this drama. I feel bad giving the actors a bad rating here because it doesn't seem like they actually had a chance to make anything good out of this ultimately trash drama. The ending of the story has so many plot holes you might as well use it to strain your pasta.

Don't bother watching this unless you're bed ridden and have watched pretty much every other drama....twice.
