Come on Shista!
The first 3 episodes are genius and draw you in like an addict to it's charms. It's campy, hilarious & fun. It's Ji Sung's tour de force and shows off his acting abilities to their fullest. Each personality is lovable and it's incredible that the viewer can tell them apart by just his gestures, no need for props. Hwang Jung-eum is a good choice as his leading lady, as she is not a weak female and she gives as good as she gets. They play off well against one another. We have an early Park Seo-joon here where you can see his male lead aura shining through, but at times they are using him as a tap..be hilarious here (in his interactions with Ahn Yo-Na) and serious there when he's painfully in love with his adopted sister. When it's hilarious at the beginning you can overlook the inconsistencies for pure entertainment value, but when it gets to episode 15 and descends into darkness the questions that you didn't ask before get asked. Another Kdrama that would have been a masterpiece at 16 episodes. The last 5 episodes aren't really necessary. There are some fun moments when the personalities reappear but it looses it's momentum in a sea of flashbacks and happy endings. It's honestly the first time I have ever felt sorry for a ML when his mother & grandmother are bickering over him to take over the reins, honestly...these women need to get a life!
The music is excellent, especially that rap. I have to applaud this drama for it's handling of such a difficult subject matter and turning into something that is a real pleasure to watch. Bravo!
