2/10

Seemed like it'd be good at first, but near the end things went downhill. I have never watched a drama where I was this bored or where I didn't even care about the main pairing. It tried too hard to be deep and emotional, yet only came out dull. Actually, it was slightly funny how many scenes were comprised of multiple silent-crying shots of people staring into each others’ eyes, and no talking at all. The only upside to this drama was Esom/Young Jae's brother, Dong Jae, and also her best friend, Baek Joo Ran. They were the only people I cared about. Their struggles were portrayed well and I actually sympathized with them. The final few episodes felt like they were each five hours long; that's how slow/uninteresting the story became. In fact, I didn't want to finish this drama at all, but the person who watched it with me (and felt the same way I did) convinced me that we'd already watched twelve hours of it and we might as well finish it, just so we could be done with it forever. Ultimately, I don't recommend it. The main leads did not act as well as I had hoped, and that's saying a lot considering SKJ is one of my favorite actors. I hope his next drama is better, or else he might not be a favorite actor for me anymore.
