Disappointed

I really wanted to watch this series, I'm an IGOT7 , and I 've seen Jinyoung's other dramas and already know Ji Sung is amazing.

Now I've seen a lot of the other actors and actresses on screen elsewhere so I went into this with a lot of expectations. And those expectations were met for sure. I can see Jinyoung's growth although he needs to work on his crying and needs more practice in a lot of his facial expressions. I have found that his melodramas really are his strong suit. I was pleasantly happy with all the performances but that's the problem. The performances given by everyone was great. However, the story line had promise but somewhere along the line I feel as if they forgot the central plot and it fell flat. I think the script definitely needed some work to help instill the importance of some characters.

I loved the court scenes but that was the most excitement really given in the show on the basis of it being a dystopian society. I wish I saw more of the world and just how unorthodox it was, it felt a lot like it was a normal world with a lot of poverty. There was no sense of actual dystopian other than a few instances. They needed to build more on the story. The relationship between the characters weren't always so fleshed out and understood. Like when things happen between them and then in a next scene suddenly they are talking as if nothing happened.

Jinyoung's character as well felt very naive and even when saw the things happening around him, made idiotic decisions. The visual aspect was good but I feel it made things boring. It was too artsy and I get they were trying to make it dark and moody but the episodes are an hour and some change long. Add that with tense music, tense atmosphere, and waiting on some action among the long filler conversations and more moodiness, it led to some great naps. For right now I have dropped this series, maybe another time will I try to go back in and watch it.
