Dear lord, I hope it improves
Review after first episode: Okay, started this with lots of hope because of the genre, but I guess I’ve watched far too many ones which have set the bar really high that this intro failed to impress me. All the stupid decisions that Kim Hyun Soo takes would be believable if the victim was written better. Within the first few moments we are forced to see her influence on the ML and it somehow doesn’t click. From not giving him the time of her day to romantically running away instead of paying for their ice creams in the middle of a dark empty road was funny and not for the reasons they intend it to, if at all. The rest of the episode works on KSH’s remarkable acting skills, he really makes you feel for him even if you find that the seriousness which should have been there is missing in the drama, There’s too much of forcing the viewers to see the characters as someone rather than actually showing us. Anyway, it’s a fast paced enough intro. I’m hoping that it improves with the next set of episodes.
