A Boring Mess...

I really wanted to like this show but unfortunately it failed to achieve what it was going for from the start. If they focused more on telling one story from A to B, maybe the show would have been better but it ended up jumping through so many loops and plot twists that it was just not satisfying to watch.

The romance - this was really rushed in the beginning and I didn't feel like their relationship had any substance. Why does he like her? I get that she has been reading about him for years and could have fallen in love with his character but it doesn't explain how within 2 episodes, Kang Chul went from comparing her to a stray dog to all of a sudden liking her as well.

The plot - there are so many points when I thought 'this really wasn't necessary'. Yeon Joo going to jail and Kang Chul shooting her dad etc. etc. It didn't add to the story or serve a purpose except to lead into the next thing. I really think they could have cut out half of the bullsh*t and focused on the foundation of the story more.

All in all, I wouldn't watch it again and can't say that I genuinely enjoyed it either.
