A good J-Drama turning into a bad K-Drama
This drama started well: lonely, disillusioned ML meets heart-broken FL. Love at first sight, straightforward communication, benevolant entourage. Plus, both are talented.
The story writes itself from here, one would think. But, for whatever reason, the writers decided to complicate things.
Midway through the drama, this cute little jdrama turns into your typical annoying kdrama, where the story jettisons half of itself and its characters, gives up on plausibility, and soaks itself into the unimaginative whim of the writers.
Miscommunication, noble idiocy,...
If you get annoyed at some point, please be aware that it will not get better. I was hoping for a white truck appearance late in the drama.
For those learning Japanese: FL uses a dialect from Kyushu. At my level, I found it hard to understand sometimes. Good practice in that regard. Japanes Subs are on Viki.
