Wants to be everything but ends up lackluster and half-baked
This drama probably sounded amazing on paper but didn't really work out in my opinion.
The good parts were some of the philosophical dialogue, cinematography and intriguing opening episode. This is the drama that wanted to be "everything" but ended up doing "everything" half-baked. The main couple was okay and had some cute scenes but nothing that stands out compared to other dramas, the side characters were not that interesting overall and you wonder why some characters (that got pretty much screen time) even were in the drama in the first place... The biggest letdown though is the mystery which was a big part of the marketing campaign and main trailer. I would even call what they did with it pathetic, just ughh. Except the premise I swear the plot was written while it was being filmed and the writer got lost/didn't know what to do with it halfway through, a pattern that's sadly common in kdramaland.
On top of this the pacing was overall pretty slow and even boring at times. It also has a lot of filler scenes so you will need patience and energy to get through most of the episodes (unless you are a huge fan of the actors). At last its impressive how the writer somehow managed to implement almost EVERY SINGLE cheesy kdramaland-trope in this drama.
Both the ML and FL have better dramas so don't get me wrong I like the actors but this one really missed the mark for me. If you are in the middle of watching and feel bored you can easily drop it imo.
