Interesting Idea, But Messily Executed
Where Stars Land:
So I got half way through this drama and although I was enjoying it I knew it was not one I wanted to spend 16 hours of my life watching. I ended up choosing to skip through It felt almost like it was trying to achieve the sci-fi vibe of Are You Human Too?, whilst also striving for the working/office romance vibe seen in shows like of Forecasting Love and Weather. Nevertheless, I don't regret starting this drama and not completely dropping it. So I’ll tell you what I liked/didn't like to help you decide if you want to watch it or not.
I'll like to start on a more positive note:
- Lee Je Hoon and Chae Soo Bin as the leads (I think they did have chemistry with each other but also played their characters well. I was impressed by Chae Soo Bin as I had been disappointed with her performance in I Am Not A Robot - but that may just've been because the whole drama idea was strange to me)
- Not only was the cast food for the eyes, but the majority of them were skilled actors/actresses.
- Kim Kyung Nam (this guy is amazing! He blows me away with his acting skills every single time!)
- Lee SooKyung (I hadn't seen her in anything before but I thought she did a great job at portraying her character!)
- Kim Kyung Nam and Lee Soo Kyung! (This was another show in which I much preferred the second couple to the main one, they had great chemistry and seemed so real)
- Rowoon (This guy always surprises me with his acting skills, I think he deserves a lot more than he gets as an actor. He did really well considering he was only 22 when filming)
- The airport setting (at first I thought this would be a really boring setting, but I thoroughly enjoyed most of what it added to the show)
And now here is what I didn't like:
- The negative view of having a disability (yes it did look briefly at the stigma and the show sort of looked at how many aspects in society are not accessible for those in a wheelchair, but the show could've ended with Lee Soo Yeon finding happiness whilst being in his wheelchair or the crew should've tried to confront social stigmas surrounding disabilities head on rather than implying that Lee Soo Yeon would only feel happy if he was "normal").
- The storyline felt very repetitive and it could've been completed in 10/12 episodes. (Hence why I skipped a number of scenes after the show hit the halfway point).
- I did not understand much of anything revolving around Seo In Woo.
- Plot Holes! These were so annoying! (So many characters/potential storylines were introduced and then just chucked away
- The airport/workplace environment clashed with the gangster or sci-fi aspects.
- That very end scene (if you know you know)
- There wasn’t enough backstory for a variety of characters!
This show is definitely not for everyone, but if you're looking for a drama that won't be a big commitment try this one as you can skim and skip scenes through the drama and not lose out on the enjoyment of watching it. Happy Watching! <3
