How does this lakorn have such a high rating?
I am seriously baffled by the high reviews for this drama. It was a train-wreck with so much nonsense that I am surprised that despite all the stupid I just watched I see people rating this so high. I seriously hate that utter crap like this gets rated so high which will lead to writers and directors thinking trivial plots and pathetic acting is okay and they will continue to make more of this garbage.
Recently, over the past few years, I have seen a serious decline in quality lakorns with solid plots and good acting. There is a rare lakorn or two every few years that I am engrossed by, but, by and large, most new lakorns are s***, and this is coming from someone who used to love lakorns even more than kdramas. I am relegated to rewatching the older lakorns now as most new lakorns are not even remotely on the same level.
I honestly don't want to write a whole essay as to why this lakorn hit so many nerves, but the long and short of it is that every single character (except for Chen and Na) were lacklustre in terms of depth. The plot was the cliche of cliches, where we have not one, but two unexpected pregnancies, all from the same guy?! The cherry on top is that the ML got shot over 3 different times and ended up in the hospital, it was at the point that when he got shot, I was literally screaming, "Again?!" Like come on, this whole drama was lazy writing. The writers cut and paste every cliche they could think of that might spice up the story. The story itself had no standing whatsoever.
Secondly, Mook, the girl who played the FL is such a low-level actress. She is super pretty, however, she can't act to save her life. Why, oh why, do directors cast people with little to no acting abilities as main leads? There were so many instances where she just stares at the camera with no expression. Beauty does not equal good acting, and I really wish that people who are her fans can understand that she is not cut out to be the main actress yet. She should study acting more, take on side roles and expand her experience through theatre or classes. At her current skills, it is so hard watching her in any sort of scene, especially scenes that require more expression and emotions.
Kem as the ML did a much better job as an actor, and I honestly enjoyed his redemption arc, and the only reason I stuck around to watch the show was to see him reunite with his kids.
I only wrote this review to counterbalance the overwhelmingly high reviews by other people. This lakorn isn't worth anyone's time honestly unless you are a huge fan someone in the show, save yourself the 15 hours.
