I wish there was a separate rating category for the supporting characters' acting so that i could give it 10 stars. I usually don't write reviews but i felt the need to write a legitimate one here because the blinks have hijacked the review section. I literally checked the reviews (read: "best actress jisoo, most perfect actress jisoo, jisoo, jisoo, jisoo") and decided to give it a chance because I'm almost just as stupid as jisoo's character in this show and, oh boy, was i disappointed! First of all, if you bring in a rookie actress as the FL, do not cast brilliant, experienced FL-worthy actors for the supporting characters. It just highlights the deficiency in the FL's acting skills. I know she isn't as bad as many other idol stars, but damn kids, that won't automatically make her a good actor. She literally only had two expressions, except when she is crying. I do believe she has the art of being able to cry in different manners. The side characters, who were fabulous btw, were grossly underutilized. You've literally got yoo in na and kim hye yoon but you want me to spend 12.5 hours watching the FL cry? Tragic.
Also - the entirety of the drama occurs in the dorm through a hostage-situation plot so that should tell you how interesting those 16 hours were for me.
