Kim Seo Hyung (Jeong Seo Hyun) was the only likable character I could actually root for in 'Mine'. Otherwise, I had little to no empathy for the other cast of characters. She made the often sluggish 16 episode journey tolerable after I was tempted numerous times to tap out early on--more specifically during the miscarriage scene. I'm sure there are other equally impactful but less graphic ways to express a mother's pain and anguish of suddenly losing her child.
And I know it's always a hard sell to get working-class viewers to care about the problems of the wealthy, powerful, and privileged. But this K-drama (like many of its predecessors) seemed to double down on its extravagance, affluence, and lavish living while physically and verbally abusing staff which felt gratuitous and pointless in a series that was 8 episodes too long.
