While writing this review I am currently on episode 12 of the series…That being said, I am extremely disappointed in the development of the plot and the actress “Suzy”. I originally decided to watch this series because of the soundtrack and the lead protagonist, “Lee Jong-Suk”. The first episode was so compelling and interesting that it pulled in my attention immediately. {On a side note: Me and my significant other started this series together and one of the comments he made was, “The series has such a great first episode, with so many highs that I just don’t see it staying on such a high note for 16 episodes.” At first, I defended the series, assuring him that it would continue to increase in drama and get even better with each episode…. HOWEVER, I couldn’t have been more wrong. I felt that it was important to mention this, since it’s the base of my review….} Since I am now half way through with the series, I can sadly admit that my significant other was indeed correct….the highs of this drama did not remain consistent and it did in fact because drab and boring.
Although the main cast did such an amazing job portraying their characters, “aside from Suzy”, the storyline didn’t match up with the acting skills. I say this because the plot got boring and predictable rather fast into the series and became harder to want to continue. I’m sure not many people would agree with me since so many people loved this series, hence, the high rating…but I just can’t get over the fact that they missed out on a chance to create an amazing series, but they wasted it with such crappy pacing. Not to mention, the lead female protagonist can’t show emotions or even make it seem like she has even an ounce of a real connection with the male lead. I feel as if Jong-Suk was pulling all the weight of the romance aspect in the series….She was just boring to watch, sorry not sorry! Suzy defiantly struggled with portraying real emotions…Like, the kind of emotion that makes me want to cry with her (like most female leads). The relationship that audiences of k-drama’s both want and expect to see just wasn’t present because of Suzy’s crappy acting (In this series),,how disappointing.
The series started out so good!!!And it makes me so upset that it was just so boring mid-way through….. In fact, it became so much of a chore that I just googled the ending because I couldn’t push myself to finish the last few episodes. Therefore, I completely understand that many people both love and enjoy this series, I’m just not one of them.
