The story gets blurred in the middle

Before i'm complaining this drama, i would to say about the good aspect of this drama,
Good aspect:
1. They build base of this story so good, come from child abuse, childhood trauma from each father, but one still getting the positive mind meanwhile the other trying to swallow bitter reality. They empathize their feeling and helping each other. I fall in love with this drama because this background.

2. The positivity seo mok ha have, impossible one's have positive minds like mok ha, but they add reality to mok ha minds so it became possible about mok ha character, she know her dream is so unstable but she still want to try because the hardship of her 15 years will be nothing. Many people want her to stop imagine and pursuing her dream but ALWAYS male lead always being her supporter number one ^^

3. Mysterious Jung Ki Ho, after separated for 15 years, seo mok ha trying to find jung ki ho, a boy that encourage her to pursue her dream, also help her to set her free from her father. How the audience have to guess who ki ho is, with all the hint that seo mok ha get, it's so exciting ^^ I've waited each week just to know about who jung ki ho is.

That's it, that are 3 charming points for me

NOW, time for revealing lacking points + my complain.....

1. The chemistry of leads, actually i can't feel romance feeling in Jung ki ho and Seo mok ha, their feeling comes from empathy right? sharing same hurt feeling from their trauma, guilty, and comfort. But how they falling in love with each other I DO NOT feel that at all, suddenly Jung ki ho said he still loves her for 15 years and Seo mok ha feel same, ikr who is the crazy that still wait for ones if it's not love but HOW?? HOW THEY FALLING IN LOVE?? THEY FALLING IN LOVE BECAUSE THEIR ABUSIVE FATHER?? THEY FALLING IN LOVE BECAUSE THEY WILL RUNAWAY TOGETHER?? THEY FALLING IN LOVE BECAUSE MISSING EACH OTHER?? WHYYYY..... I can't feel at all, this is the most dissapointed part for me T_T

2. Screentime of the leads, scene ki ho and mok ha together to be lovey dovey couple OHMYGOD i can count it with my fingers T_T Indeed, this drama about how mok ha pursuing her dream BUT she have loveline with ki ho, i craving their lovey dovey scene, how they develop each other feeling from teenager's love to adult's love, they didn't explain this at all T_T

3. Love triangle with Woo Hak, i know it will be disgusting shit if brothers fight for a woman, but how woo hak falling love with mok ha, how he know his feeling is dangerous, and how he conclude his feeling is just like a flash, they explained woo hak's feeling in some scene :( i want it to be more little dramatic hahahaha it will be interesting though hahahahaha (ignore this point)

4. I don't know about this, but people made me realize, in the middle of the story, the story move to yoon ran joo, Seo mok ha just to get her dream via yoon ran joo, seo mok ha admire yoon ran joo is undeniable but how seo mok ha is depending to yoon ran joo is just not right, although i enjoyed yoon ran joo story too, but many people not satisfied about this point. the story get blurred about the lead character. Also seo mok ha had struggle about her debut, but she doesn't have struggle after that? climbing chart one by one is normal for rookie artist, i mean why her rival is just eun mo rae? i want more drama about her struggle after debut but nothing, she straight to the top.

Overall, i can conclude the story like this, these 12 episode were divided in 3 part, seo mok ha getting used from 15 years in desserted island to pursuing her dream, revealing Kang Bo Geol and his family identity also his problem with his father, Yoon ran joo achieve 20 million album selling, still the most disappointed part is lacking of lovey dovey part ki ho and mok ha :(
