Poor Script, Unlikeable Characters

Probably one of the worst dramas I've seen. There are two things I look for in a good drama: plot and characters. Interesting plots whether it's a simple or intricate one will hook the viewers into staying. The plot should flow smoothly and makes sense from start to finish. Characters that would make you want to root for them, relate with them, or hate them is another thing that makes a drama good. Sadly, both of these are non existent in this drama. The plot is so unbelievable that it will make you question why this was allowed to be aired. I get why this was cancelled way back. This should have never seen the light of day. The script is so poor that I roll my eyes so many times while watching. So many issues remain unresolved and were just there just for the sake of drama. What happened to Irin's ptsd? The evil uncle of Namcha? The will of the grandpa? Did that man from the countryside ever get to translate the book? These were presented throughout the show but the viewers remain in the dark even after the last episode. There were so many unnecessary scenes that were just there for fluff but the leads' lack of chemistry and personalities don't make me want to root for them. The writer didn't stop there. So much drama that should have been given more time were presented at the climax of the story with no proper build up. You just have to accept that Irin is now fighting for the man she "loves" because her sister did some despicable actions such as faking her accident and pregnancy. Like you already know beforehand that she's mentally unstable and you chose to reveal these things on her wedding day? Other "twists" just had me laughing and rolling my eyes. The characters are mostly one dimensional except for Inn and Jin who were the only ones who kept the plot moving. The main leads were just despicable people. Irin is a wishy washy person who led Namcha on for 17 episodes before she realized that she had to fight for him. She appears to love her sister but I wasn't convinced. Namcha is a creepy stalker who can't get over his "first love." But for reasons unknown to the viewer, I still don't know what made Irin so special that he can't get over her no matter how much she pushed him away. What was really the reason why you fell for her? Namcha also likes to use other people and animals to get closer to irin. He even sometimes neglects his job to spend time stalking Irin. There really wasn't any character growth with both leads, who remain just like they were in the first episode. Supporting characters were your typical characters that you would normally see and were just there when the plot needs them. I am so proud of myself for finishing this drama. If not for win, who I was a fan of in 2gether and piploy, who stood out among all the other cast with her amazing acting skills, I would have dropped this show already. Trust me, there are so many better dramas out there.
