Great Cast, Disappointing Story
Wow, where do I start? The cast are all magnificent actors. I've been following them for years. But the material they've been given, in spite of their talent, is disappointing. They could have wrapped this up in 6-8 episodes. I don't know how they're going to keep it going for 16.
The story is the same old, tired trope: rich Chaebol heir/heiress falls for poor but cute woman/man. Conflicts from within both families and antagonism between the two leads. But all of that plays out in the first two episodes. Flashbacks only do so much. How can a couple that was so in love three years prior be so distanced and bitter in such a short amount of time? Oh, and throw in a terminal illness as another tired trope.
The music, hair, makeup, clothing, locations...are all beautiful. That cannot make up for the total want of a story. I will continue to see this out, but it is definitely not a re-watch.
