Watch at your own risk. The story isnt bad but is tol in the most boring way possible like a ceiling fan going round and round and round on a hot summer day.. Every bit of excitement is killed by the dull FL, who is priggish and sanctimonious to the nth degree. Honestly , what was the necessity of showing her as so judgmental and smug about her own goodness? The character felt like it was written by an adult woman who has suffered from rejection writing a revenge saga. There was just not a single exchange between her and any other character where she didnt ram her own feelings of inadequacy , down their throats. If that is how the writer-director wanted the FL to appear, then they chose the right actor. Or was it the case of a really handicapped actor trying to play a role that should have shown some sympathy -empathy and some femininity?
The actor who played the FL didnt smile or have even a single light hearted moment.. Even when she kisses there is not a sense of being overwhelmed. She is always in control and showing down everyone by the badge of suffering she wears like a medal. One of the most uninspiring FLs ever seen in Cdramas, I might be in a minority here but honestly she doesnt have a main lead vibe at all.
The story is not bad, very strong in parts and the ML desperately tries to keep things rolling but the direction is so lackadaisical it just keeps missing all high points by sheer boring twists and turns. The stories of other couples is given prominence and I actually felt far more invested in the stories of all the other couples because the mean and women there at least sparkled with life. In the case of the main couple the woman was played by a dead fish as they say in England.
Fellow MDL ers watch this only if you wish to torture yourself or are being paid to watch it.
