I wanted to like this drama so bad because I love Yeo Jin Goo and Moon Gayoung but man.......... finishing this was actual work. This feels like a very messy combination of fun romcom and thriller. I enjoyed the first few episodes but felt that it started to really get boring around halfway.
What I liked:
- the relationship between Dahyun, her mom, and grandmother. It was very sweet and it was obvious that they cared for each other. This was probably the highlight of the show for me.
- restaurant and food scenes. I thought these were fun! I wish there had been more focus on the restaurant opening process.
- acting. Actors worked with what they had and I enjoyed it.
What I did not like:
- the mystery. I have to be honest, by the end of the show I did not care what happened to Gyeyoung and I wish I had skipped all those scenes. I did not find it intriguing at all and to me it was obvious she was dead. Lots of buildup by setting up everyone in the neighbourhood just for it to be some random guy was not great. Also very little explanation on what aside from kidnapping and death. I do not think that everything has to be explained in a show like this but we were given so little.
- I felt that the Link was underused and just kind of pointless?
- whatever was going on with the two police officers??? weirdly shoehorned in and a waste of screen time.
