I always felt a tad bored by this drama when I watched it - not for any particular reason. Objectively speaking, the plot was solid. The characters were great. We had a wonderful blend of both happy and sad endings for our characters. But for some reason, sitting down and watching this drama felt like such a dull experience. I mostly blame the directing, since the episodes that were dragged out to 90 or more minutes could have fit nicely in a 60 minute format. A lot of the time seemed to be filled up with characters staring into space as the camera focuses on them, or even filler chit-chat that doesn’t really change the plot one way or the other. Take that away, and you’ve got a solid drama. Just because I didn’t have the heart to give this drama a lower rating (since it was exceptionally high quality and the storytelling was incredible) than 8.5 stars, I’m just going to take the slowness as the director’s unfortunate affinity for dragging out the plot rather than his lack of ability to direct a captivating drama. Overall I would recommend this drama. Took me a while to get into and another month to finish, but the overall story was very wholesome and pretty comedic. Love me a good comedy :)
