Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh
So this was a very difficult drama to rate, because on one hand the storytelling was pretty decent, and on the other hand the romance was absolutely horrendous for a drama whose first and foremost genre is romance. There was just no romantic development for Woori with either bachelor (I’m just going to brush over the fact that they dragged on the love triangle for 14 episodes and I absolutely despise love triangles). I genuinely don’t really understand any of the Rafael shippers (of course most of them were shipping them because of the original) because, objectively speaking as someone who has never seen the OG version, Rafael was just not a very good option…? His romance with Woori made zero sense (she moved on so QUICK as well???!!!) and the actors just had no chemistry at all. Kang Jae was a much more believable option because supposedly they’ve been dating for 2 years prior. Which is why I’m even more confused about how a random dude who you met a few months ago and a boyfriend of 2 years could even be evaluated at the same level. The whole show was just soooo in Kang Jae’s favor that I’m surprised she liked Rafael at all by the end of the drama. Anyhow, I didn’t hate this drama as much as other people I don’t think, but I still would not recommend it. I watched it for Im Soo Hyang first and foremost, and I would’ve probably not bothered otherwise. To end it on a high note, I absolutely loved the storyline about the mom and the actor father of Woori. I don’t know if this was also in the original story but their romance was hands down the best one in the entire drama, although I would also go as far as to say their romance made the drama bearable for me.
