Read this before you decide not to watch it
I consider myself to have quite a good taste in dramas, as I usually don't waste time with bad stories and acting, except for when I just need to watch something that doesn't require brain work. I decided to write this review just so I can clear up at least *a part* of this drama's name. HEAR ME OUT
The first two episodes are terrible, as is the story and, more or less, so are the other episodes. No, this is not an "award winning" kind of a kdrama, yes, you will question everything about it, yes Im Soo Hyang's acting is as terrible as ever, yes, there are plot-holes. If you are in general not a flexible person, maybe you shouldn't watch it. At the same time, don't rate it with 1 star either if you haven't seen all episodes.
THE HIGHLIGHT of this drama is no one other than Kim Jung Hyun who managed to save this entire series. Please, at least out of curiosity watch a few episodes (more than 2, because, again, the first 2 are really bad) and check out his acting. He had to portray around 4 different roles, 4 clashing personalities and he did it beautifully. In contrast with others, this was my first contact with him as an actor and his great ability made me look him up so that I could eventually watch Mr queen and Waikiki while Kokdu was still airing. In my opinion, if from the beginning your mindset is about having fun, watching something really strange that makes no sense, having curiosity, you might like it, at least 50%. To be true, even I am wondering how I got to finish it, but, as I said, Kokdu's character really saved everything. Never in my life have I seen someone with so many different and entertaining ways of speaking. One more thing I have to say is that, once again, we are surprised by Jung Hyun's singing, as he sings one beautiful song from the OST
On the other hand, even if I've never finished a drama with Im Soo Hyang, I felt that I could stand her character more here. The flashback to her past probably improved her image. I really liked -shockingly- how she portrayed the final moments of her past self.
I also don't get why no one is talking about the reunion of Kokdu, Ok Shin, Gak Shin (who were together in Mr Queen). Their interaction was really funny and pleasant to watch, equally together and apart.
In conclusion, if you have no expectations and you really try to enjoy it, you can, as I believe this was their exact purpose: to create a funny and enjoyable story. I believe that everyone knew what they were doing which is a full on stupid romantic-comedy that was SUPPOSED TO BE STUPID. No one tried to remake Goblin, you can rest assured.
