I picked Green Rose randomly cause I was in the mood for an unpredictable revenge drama…
Story: The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorite movies and the plot of this, really reminds me of it. Although sometimes it was hard to believe that the people around the main character took him for someone else cause there wasn’t that much of a change in the characters appearance. So use your imagination folks! If your looking for romance theres not much to look forward to cause the relationship of the main couple is well established in the first 2 eps. There is some romantic angst throughout though due to the fact that the couple cant be together till the end. The biggest weakness I found is the pacing and the episode count. It just slows a lot of the developments down and the momentum is lost to the point you get bored by the middle. Happy but bittersweet ending.
Acting/Cast: This is the first time Ive seen Go Soo, although I’ve heard of various projects he’s been in. His performance wasn’t bad or anything and hes very attractive but I just thought his expressions could have been taken to another level during certain scenes that called for it. Ive only seen Lee Da Hae in romcoms so it was a nice change to see her do drama. It just proves what a versatile actress she is. Lee Jong Hyuk played the villain perfectly. His character was a baddie but he plays him with such charm that you cant help but sympathize with his actions. By the end, I actually came to like a lot of the supporting cast as well.
Music: I don’t really remember it but it was really dramatic and fit with the revenge theme.
Rewatch: If the pacing was better I think I could have watched it again sometime in the distant future but its not so I’ll pass.
Overall Green Rose is a pretty good older revenge drama worth at least a watch if you’re a fan of any of the leads.
