Disappointed

I loved this show. The first 10 episodes drew me in and I loved every minute. I was always looking forward to the next episode and couldn’t wait until Netflix would air the next episode. Then it went downhill. I saw a comment that said there would be no plot if the characters would just talk to each other properly. Now this is totally true but I didn’t mind because I enjoyed the show.

Episode 11. The most annoying worst episode I have ever watched. This is where the previous comment especially comes into play. The lack of communication was so god awful I almost quit watching. (I apologize for summarizing but I need to make my point). Noh Ae Jung refuses to tell Oh Dae Oh why she left him even though he begs her and when it is finally revealed to the audience, it's all just a misunderstanding. Noh Ae Jung claims that her and her daughter didn’t need Oh Dae Oh yet her daughter is trying so hard to find out who her father is and won’t ask her mother for help because she knows she won’t tell her. A couple episodes later when the daughter finds out, she says that her and her mother are better off alone because he left them WHICH HE DIDN’T and Noh Ae Jung doesn’t do anything to correct her! I just cannot believe it. Then Joo Ah Rin wants to destroy Noh Ae Jung because Oh Dae Oh won’t love her back? It’s not her fault??!? But she blames her?!? Just take the L and move on! And it isn’t just them, ALL the characters had just the worst communication I have ever seen. Even at the end with the controversy of the movie being made. Just no proper communication at all.

And to me, I just felt really bad for Oh Dae Oh. This poor dude got dumped for (in his view) no reason, actually got dumped because this girl he didn't like wouldn't leave him alone, his friend ruined the chance for him to resolve the issues with his girl, finds out that he was considered the bad guy in the relationship, finds out he has a kid, kid doesn’t want him in her life because he apparently abandoned her and her mother, gets blamed that he wrote a book for "hating" on Noh Ae Jung when she actually broke his heart, I could go on.

Also, just a side note. One thing that really pissed me off was that Noh Ae Jung’s hair was always messy. Now I don’t mind having “realistic” hair that gets messy after running or after waking up. But her hair was just always messy, like that was just part of her personality. No one else had hair like her and it irritated me so much. Maybe there was a good reason for that and I apologize if there is one, right now I just hate it.

I will not lie, the first 10 episodes I liked a lot, loved it actually. I would even say that they might've been some of my favorite episodes of all the dramas I've watched. Even when other people didn’t like them, I did. But just way to mess it up so badly. I mean, I guess there was no other way to write the rest of the show. Doesn’t mean it didn’t suck. The ending wasn’t that good either, not satisfying at all. Don’t waste your time. The only reason I’ve rated this as high as I have was because I enjoyed the first few episodes a lot.
