Separately, the individual components worked. Kim Woo Bin as Joon Yeong was convincing. He played JY with nuance, easily transforming between playful and heart-breaking. Suzy as Noh Eul did a solid job as well. She's upfront about what she wants and demonstrates a blatantness that toes the line between admirable and shameless, in a good way. Jin Kyung, as Joon Yeoung's mom, as usual performed her best. I also wanted to give a small shout out to Lee Seo Won, Noh Eul's little bro- he's so cute- I'm definitely on the lookout for his future works. Now, the problem isn't with the actors- everyone acted extremely well with what they were given- it's with the directing and the plot execution. UF had everything it needed to become an unforgettable melodrama but alas, for the bulk of the episodes- it wasn't. Lets start with the choppy execution of scenes. Each episode ended on a cliffhanger that was just confusing. Though they explain it in the next episode, it did deter from the overall fluidity of the episodes. Besides from the cliffhangers, many scenes were choppy and kind of jumped from one to another without adequate explanation. Nevertheless, the chemistry between Kim Woo Bin and Suzy had a down to earth feel to it that worked really well at times but it wasn't maximized to its full potential. Visually, along with the gorgeous winter landscape, they are a beautiful couple. However, the backstory that was given falteringly detracted from their present day romance. The backstory should've made us, as viewers, care a lot for the couple, to root for their romance. Instead, the drama gave us a glimpse of their backstory that just honestly didn't justify why they are a fated couple. And along the way, the backstory was dropped and we no longer got flashbacks. Suddenly, it was all about the family drama and the revenge. Speaking of the revenge plot line, it was completely dragged on and I began to dislike almost every character for making stupid decisions. In other words, it became pretty makjang, in that respect. Now, I have to say that the plot is chock full of classic melo cliches, which can be a good or bad thing depending on the execution. That's why I said that UF reminded me of the early 2000's melos but it didn't have the emotional impact of those reminiscent to the earlier melos. Personally, I think it's due to the fact we never had the chance to fall in love with the romance before we went straight into sadness. OST wasn't my favorite of all time but it made some emotional scenes more emotional so it worked. The saving grace for this drama was the last two episodes. I didn't cry throughout the whole drama for the romance at all because it just didn't get me emotionally. However, the last two episodes made me glad that I didn't drop UF. I can even say that it made the previous episodes worth it, well, worth more it anyways! The last two episodes finally gave me the pathos feelings that I wanted to see throughout UF. I'm disappointed that I had to wait for episode 19 to finally feel it though. With everything that I said, though, I recommend this drama with reservations depending on your taste. Personally, I kept watching because I wanted to see it until the end, to see what happened to the characters. If I had a second chance, though, I don't think I would've started it because it's not a drama to binge as it is a slow drama. It's not a drama for everyone but it's definitely a drama for some. I won't re-watch this though. If you are in the mood to watch some complicated family feud revenge drama, then UF is up your alley. Don't expect lots of cute romantic scenes because there are minimal. Do expect some frustration if you don't like slow moving plots and crazy family issues. Do expect a lot of tears, especially at the end. UF is a substance drama that relies on strong individual performances, a fitting OST, and a lovely winter backdrop.
