All Concept, No Plot
Okay, so it's a romcom. I wasn't expecting it to be groundbreaking or anything, but it's clear they tried to take a movie, stuff it full of tangents, and set it free as a drama.
I enjoyed the first half or so... but at a certain point, I was just like, "Okay, where is this going?"
The chemistry was decent. The characters were likeable. The costumes/wardrobe was hands down the worst I've seen in a drama. Normally, I don't notice this unless I'm like, "Oh, I like her outfit" but maaaaaaan the outfits are supposed to be avant garde and expensive because they're actors and chaebols... No. They are jarringly and distractingly tacky. (Except for her dress in the opening scene, which was gorgeous.)
Overall, it had all the makings of a decent drama--the cast was good, the music was good... but the all-over-the-place storyline really didn't cut it. The tear jerker aspects felt really forced. Like, shoe-horned in to create some depth and meaning... but it didn't land for me (and I'm easy cryer).
As a weird aside, I really enjoyed the music score, even though it was repetitive. It fit well.
