Soooo it seems we all agree that this is not the typical quality we expect, or normally get from an actor like Ji Chang Wook. The actors had a cute chemistry, but I couldn’t quite make myself believe it was ‘fated’ as the drama wants us to believe.
Plot: Lets be real this show had a couple of plots, and did a real good job of running them into the ground, or dragging on scenes for eternity. There were plot holes you could bury bodies in, and little explanation where it would have done us good to have some. I needed motives, motivation, and the will not to skip, but even then managed to persevere. That being said there were many scenes I found satisfying and heartwarming.
Cast/ Relationships: To me this was the saving grace of the drama. The main and supporting cast were so good. I did take issue with Hayoung’s character, but other than that I loved it. The families were sweet and endearing, without wandering into contrived. I felt the care and love, and it never once felt stilted. It made me think of how much I loved the cast of ‘Oh My Venus’. They aren’t quite on that level of chemistry, but the cast and relationships were the reason I stuck around.
Music: I only liked one song which was by K.Will, and all the other ones weren’t that remarkable. In fact for once I found myself annoyed by the music.
Overall this drama is re-watchable, but I think it would be only when I want to cry or miss my mom. As I said the cast is the shining point, but there were definitely parts where you could tell they were going for comedy, but I was just annoyed or frustrated. Hands down the one time I got annoyed was with the drag at the end episodes... I was literally waiting for what happens next. I listed over 15 different ways it could go over a half hour period while muttering..” oh... here we go.” Only to have to wait more for the pivotal moment.
Either way hate it or love it.. the show has good parts. It’s a decent middle of the road kdrama, but it doesn’t stop me from liking it.
