This show is slow paced and we sure can see that since the first episode. If we decide to keep watching, we already know what we're getting into... right?
I thought I did. I really like slow paced shows because they usually really warm my heart and they tend to be somewhat deep so I didn't even hesitate to keep watching 'A Piece of Your Mind'. I loved the acting and how the story was developing through the first few episodes, but then I started getting easily bored. Reason? There's a situation (I won't say which one to avoid spoilers) that happens at the beginning (really, at episode 2 I think) and leads to something else, and once everything seems to be over it just KEEPS APPEARING in every episode.
This drama is about healing and I understand that there has to be a recurring situation for the leads to get over, but was it really neccessary to keep bringing what happened every episode? At this point and I thought about dropping the drama, however, I was already 8 episodes in and I though I might as well finish it.
Let's talk about some of the characters. Kim Sung Gyu is an AMAZING actor, but his character, In Wook, was... dull. At the beginning it was okay, really, I liked his character and I was willing to see how he would develop. The thing is, he didn't. Again, I understand this is mainly about healing, but he didn't even make a small change until the very end.
Lee Ha Na's character, Soon Ho, was more or less the same. She didn't change, not even a little, in the whole drama. I feel like her character was put there just to twist thing up a little at almost the end of the show so it could continue for some more episodes. She really didn't add up anything to the show, she was plain and dull. We got to see a little of her personality, which was based on some ''traumatic'' experience that wasn't traumatic at all; still, no need to be a nosy ass (just like Seo Woo, if I'm allowed to say). I really didn't enjoy their characters at all, especially Lee Ha Na's
Chae Soo Bin did a really good job portraying such a nosy character (as you can see, it's already the second time I use this word to describe a character). Seo Woo was even nosier than Soon Ho, if she didn't get into someone's affairs, she wouldn't be happy. And then, when she finally seemed to be a little happier and to have everything shorted out, she had to ruin everything again.
Jung Hae In's character, Ha Won, is the only one I don't have that many complains about; even though he obviously is the one who suffered the most. He didn't make stupid choices, he knew what he wanted and he didn't make a whole world over something. He was mature. It's possibly the only character I liked (apart from Eun Joo, Min Jung and Jin Soo).
Was it that bad of a drama? The answer is no. Would I watch it again? The answer is still no. I struggled to finish it, I just wanted to finish 'A Piece of Your Mind' as soon as possible and I didn't really enjoy it at all. The problem isn't its pace since like I said before, I usually enjoy slow dramas. The problem here is that this is so badly written it's almost impossible to have a great time watching it.
