A good plot well used
it was a good plot and they managed to execute it well
i have to say all the actors did exceptionally well and except for a few minor plot holes i found everything to be rather well done.
Claudia Kim as Maeda-san was the best decision that casting director ever made in his life cuz DAMN! does that woman have a presence when she comes on screen.
the only thing i don't get is why y'all are hating on the romance guys, cmon
listen to me
the tropes used here are; forced proximity, right person not enough time and mutual survival.
these three tropes have to be used together in such a careful blend to make the story sell it okay.
For one second just put aside the fact that they are Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee okay? let's put that aside and just look at them as Jang Taesang and Yoon Chae-ok.
Jang Taesang is the well-renowned and respected master of this well-off pawnshop. His family was destroyed when he was very young but he has managed to (resiliently) create a found family for himself and got hold of power enough to protect them.
Chae-ok on the other hand is a more, tougher nut to crack. She's been on the run with her father for a very long time, searching for her mother and in the process making a business out of finding people. she has no other driving force except her father and finding her mother.
these two people are both broken and both in very different and significant ways
They find eachother under circumstance (dare i say fate) and their significant missions lead them in the same direction where they make the decision to trust eachother, for the sake of their mutual survival.
i don't think most people understand how affection can bloom in a position of forced proximity AND mutual survival is at stake. this type of a situation builds trust, respect! more than can be seen in most relationships of today, that's for sure.
And as they continue to protect each other and have each other's backs they start to like each other which should obvious under any other circumstance.
i was actually pretty happy with how they did the romance, an interesting plotline well used.
though the season 2 disappointed me deeply, season 1 left so much potential and season 2 just flushed it down the drain for me. (THEY EVEN HAD BAE HYEON SEONG THEY SHOULD HAVE USED HIM BETTER)
