WTF did I just watch?

I tried one episode of this drama out of sheer curiosity for its ridiculously high TV ratings, This drama is blowing up week after week so I wanted to see what the hype was all about. Oh boy! Worst drama ever and this is saying something cause, if you look at my reviews, dramaland has enough turkeys to feed 12 Thanksgivings every year. And this one is Turkey of the Turkeys! If there was 0 star option, I would award it that. Alas.

So from what I figured out after just 1 sample episode - dramas are no rocket science, folks, and your kitten would figure them out since numerous flashbacks explain everything from relationships to cookware - this is a modern take on "governess romance" (think Sound of Music or Jane Ayre) with K drama's favorite trope of tropes - amnesia - thrown in for a good measure. So K Baron Von Trapp (read: much older widowed/divorced ML with kids) has amnesia and thinks he's a young man of the pretty governess's age, which would be 20something, yet for unknown reasons acts like he's 5 throwing childish tantrums every 5 minutes. That's supposed to be funny except that it's not. I was horrified and embarrassed for actors, audience that likes this and myself for watching. The latter embarrassment was too much so I did the only reasonable thing - dropped this drama and wrote this review to purge it from the system. Feels better now.
