I swear people will give anything that’s sad and flashy a high rating
I feel like I’m reading The Emperor’s New Clothes whenever I read glowing reviews for this drama. Oh, the director is a famous movie director who doesn’t typically make those silly dramas for the plebs! It must be good!
Yes the leads are tremendous actors. But their characters and the story they’re in are crap.
I finally gave up after episode 7, when I realized the intrigue suggested early on wasn’t actually producing anything of interest. I never for one second thought anything would happen in that motel, but it was nothing to the point of providing no real development either.
And I know from reading recaps of later episodes that still 11 episodes in people weren’t clear on what exactly happened with the FL.
There were some comments on Dramabeans about episodes and they sum up issues with this drama perfectly. For example:
“ I don't mind slow pace but I don't like 10 minutes of decent moments between the leads and 50 minutes of random tedious secondary characters. If the plot is only about BJ and KJ becoming friends there is not much development, it's been 7 eps and they don't even really like each other.
What is the plot? Get two sad, mildly interesting people and have them become sort of friends while having a ton of boring filler characters annoy them?”
And also this:
“That leads to one more reason this drama has become questionable, after this week, the eps are seeming more like sadness porn than any intimate construction about a relationship between two troubled people. This is what ep 1 promised, but instead we get about 50 min per episode of repetitive boring secondary characters in random sad moments. We don't need more of the MIL being selfish, the husband trying to be nice but distant at the same time, the ex-girlfriend being sorry for herself, the girl that tags along showing interest in KJ and ignoring Just while Just basically ignores everything but her. Those are the same scenes being replayed over and over but not adding anything to the plot.”
The show was a meandering, pointless mess. It is certainly not on the level of My Mister, which truly is a masterpiece.
