This show has an awesome beginning and I was hooked right away. But sadly things I anticipated never happened and the show lost its spark quite soon. There are many repetitive scenes and the humor tones down quite a lot (gets replaced by boring melodrama elements). I guess I put my hopes too high for this show and became extremely disappointed, so I dropped it at episode 10 after which I rewinded the last episodes like in 10 minutes, that is just how excited I was. There was so much potential which never bloomed. Eventually the show left a bland aftertaste, lacking character and any sort of impact. The ending was lame too. The reasons why I stopped watching? There were many. The first thing was the father-son relationship which didn't seem to get anywhere. I was anticipating to see a lot of bickering and fighting, there was some but the plot was mainly about the father's love relationship. There is more father-son action in the latter part of the drama but the plot just drags badly and honestly speaking I felt extremely bored. To my disappointment the father concentrates mostly on 1. trying to stay alive longer 2. trying to take over the company himself 3. trying to take his revenge on his horrible family. This is all utterly selfish but above that boring. For several episodes the son goes around doing who knows what, seriously. None of that is even relevant to the plot. I was also extremely disappointed with the main couple, I just think there is something weird about it. First of all they barely have any sparks and this makes their relationship boring. Second, I wanted her to end with someone else so badly. Because I think she compliments that other person more. All in all, the acting was okay and the music was fine. I liked the settings in each scene and the clothes used by the characters. It's just that none of the characters shone and everything became gray mass eventually. I couldn't find myself caring for anyone.
