I'm a fan of longing looks as much as the next person, but this was just ridiculous. There were probably two full hours of people just staring at each other or off into the distance. There was plenty of story here, there was no need to drag it on for 20 episodes. And all those slow motion tumbles into the arms of a first or forbidden love. Is tripping the only way to meet someone?
Many have mentioned the casting. Park Eum-Bin is just too petite and Rowoon's features are almost more delicate than hers. I was constantly distracted thinking that the child actor who plays Jung Ji looks like he'd grow up to be the character Hyun. I know that child Jung Ji had a terrible trauma, but adult Jung Ji has nothing to suggest his younger self.
The story and look of the show were great, But there were so many character inconsistencies to make this the 10 rating that so many people seem to think. Yes I watched it all; mostly to see how it would turn out and was sorely tempted to just look to IMDb and find out. But I stuck with it because frankly, I had a free 20 hours. But if you're pressed for time I wouldn't do it.
