I legitimately get a little upset thinking about this drama. It took a really long time to air and the trailer made it look so good. Unfortunately the drama itself was a mess.

Story: A man fell in love with a woman at first sight and married her, but their marriage is cold and more than a little dysfunctional. The way the story is framed, the audience starts when they're married. I think as a viewer it's important that we know he's in love with her, even if she doesn't, but I never once felt that. Even selfish characters need to to have something that keep me watching, and this drama just didn't. The pacing was slow, and I was supremely uninterested in everything that was going on outside of the main couple. Decisions that they made had no logic to them, and I think I was supposed to feel bad for the main lead. However, I cheered every single attempt the female lead tried to get out of their relationship.

The drama itself is shot beautifully. The individual actors are really good. I especially liked how the main actress played her character. The way the story played out, though, erased any pleasure I got, making it impossible to finish.
